Abstract
An apparatus having a temperature gauge that can attach to a faucet for replenishing an aquarium with clean water. In this manner a user may monitor the temperature of the water while adding the water to an aquarium or another container. The apparatus includes a LED screen temperature gauge, a screw on faucet connection, and a hose connection outlet. The apparatus may also add or remove water from one source to another.
Claims17
A temperature controlling aquarium cleaning device comprising:
- (1) a diverter body comprising:
- (a) a diverter first end configured to removably couple to the water source,
- (b) a diverter second end configured to allow a flow of dirty water through said water diverter member into a sink, and
- (c) diverter connector configured to removably couple with a first end of a hose;
- (2) a siphoning member comprising:
- (a) a siphoning body with
- (i) a first end configured to removably couple with a second end of the hose, and
- (ii) a second end opposite the first end of the siphoning member,
- wherein the siphoning member is configured to allow the flow of water therethrough;
- and
- (3) an end cap is configured to be moveable between a filling position and a removing position at the water diverter second end, the filling position blocking flow of fresh water through the water diverter second end into the sink, thereby allowing the flow of fresh water into the aquarium, and the removing position allowing dirty water to flow from the aquarium through the water diverter second end into the sink;
- wherein dirty water is removed from the aquarium by siphoning the dirty water through said siphoning second end, the dirty water then passes through the siphoning member, the hose, the diverter member, and exits said water diverter member second end into the sink, with the end cap in the removing position;
- wherein fresh water is added to the aquarium by turning on the water source, as a result, the fresh water passes through said diverter body, the hose, and through said siphoning member into the aquarium, with the end cap in the filling position;
- and
- (4) a temperature gauge comprising:
- (1) a sensor attached to a back surface of the gauge, the sensor configured to contact and sense a temperature of the fresh water entering said diverter body;
- (2) a display member configured to display the measured temperature of the fresh water;
- and
- (3) a power source configured to provide energy to said display member;
- wherein said temperature gauge is fixedly attached to said diverter body.
