Patent number: 11926032Abstract: A tool is provided. The tool includes a pole defining an axis and a handle. The handle includes a stationary and rotational portion, the stationary and rotational portions forming a unitary assembly with the stationary and rotational portions being adjacent one another along the axis. The stationary portion is secured to the pole in a manner that prevents it from rotating with respect to the pole and in a manner prevents the stationary portion from translational movement with respect to the pole along the axis. The rotational portion is secured to the stationary portion that allows the rotational portion to freely rotate with respect to the pole about the axis and with respect to the stationary portion and in a manner that prevents the rotational portion from translational movement with respect to the pole and the stationary portion along the axis.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Unger Marketing International, LLCInventors: William Harrington, Stephen Huda

Patent number: 11813570Abstract: Portable water conditioning systems include a water conditioner having a plurality of conditioning stages including, in a direction of flow of the water through the water conditioner, a reverse osmosis stage having a reverse osmosis membrane, and a deionizing stage. A first sensor is configured to detect a first condition of the water before the reverse osmosis stage and a second sensor configured to detect a second condition of the water after the reverse osmosis stage. The conditions each include (i) a level of total dissolved solids of the water and (ii) temperature of the water. A controller is in communication with the sensors and configured to determine of a percent of dissolved solids that are rejected by the reverse osmosis membrane based on the conditions when backpressure on the reverse osmosis stage is at a known state.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2022Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Inventors: Paul H. Adams, James M. Buckley, Robert Camp, Kai Hirsch, Stephen Huda
