| 20100212598 | COMPOUND APPARATUS HAVING REDUNDANT FLOAT ACTUATED DEVICES AND SOLENOID TO CONTROL WATER LEVEL AND CHEMISTRY IN AN AQUARIUM OR SUMP - A universally fitting apparatus to hang onto an aquarium or sump and automatically regulate replacement of evaporated water in real time. Further, while maintaining the fluid level and salinity of the total body of water, a normally closed solenoid, actuated by a float switch, will act redundantly with a float valve to meter incoming fluid. Said solenoid will act to close the water source in the event that the float valve fails to operate or in the event of power failure to shut off the incoming water. For additional safety, the power supply may be plugged into an electronic programmable timer to further minimize the likelihood of an overflow. | 08-26-2010 |
