  • Publication number: 20220371931
    Abstract: An aerator has a submersible mixing tube having a water inlet and an aerated water outlet. An aspirating tube penetrates the mixing tube between the water inlet and the aerated water outlet, the aspirating tube having an air outlet introducing air into the mixing tube and an air inlet drawing in air from atmosphere above a water surface. The mixing tube has an outboard motor lower unit engagement to engage a lower unit of an outboard motor in use such that a propeller thereof locates entirely within the mixing tube with a midsection of the outboard motor extending from the engagement. As such, the propeller of the outboard motor lower unit thrusts water past the air inlet thereby creating suction at the inlet to draw air via the mixing tube to mix with the water to expel a plume of aerated water.

  • Patent number: 8955536
    Abstract: A faucet mountable water conditioning devices include a relatively simple configuration that allows for reduced cost, easy installation, and a pleasing aesthetic. In one or more implementations, a faucet mountable water conditioning device includes a universal faucet mounting mechanism. The universal faucet mounting mechanism allows the faucet mountable water conditioning device to connect and seal to a wide variety of faucet designs and sizes simply by pressing the mounting mechanism over the faucet. The faucet mountable water conditioning device can also include a base configured to hold a water conditioning source. In one or more implementations a connector can couple the base to the mounting mechanism; thereby, allowing the base to move between active and inactive positions.
