## Abstract

An apparatus for use as a water pipe configured to be disassembled and assembled.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An apparatus for use as a water pipe comprising:
i) a tube having an inlet and an outlet,
ii) a chamber having a top and a bottom,
iii) an intermediate piece having a threaded structure configured to removably secure the tube, the intermediate piece, and the chamber together; wherein the intermediate piece further includes a porous surface extending the length of the diameter of the intermediate piece,
iv) a base;
wherein the base is configured to be separable from the bottom of the chamber, the top of the chamber is configured to be separable from the intermediate piece, and the intermediate piece is configured to be separable from the inlet; and
wherein the apparatus is configured to be disassembled and reassembled.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the tube includes an internal surface and an external surface and wherein a threaded structure is disposed on the internal surface on a portion of the inlet.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the chamber includes an internal surface and an external surface, and wherein a threaded structure is disposed on the external surface on a portion of the top of the chamber.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the bottom of the chamber further includes a threaded structure disposed on the external surface.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the base includes an internal surface, and wherein threading is disposed on the internal surface.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the base removably secures to the chamber by interconnecting threading.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a watertight internal portion is formed from the tube having an internal surface coupled to the intermediate piece having an internal surface, the intermediate piece coupled to the chamber having an internal surface, and the chamber coupled to the base having an internal surface.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the intermediate piece includes an internal surface and an external surface and wherein a threaded structure is disposed on the internal surface on a portion of the intermediate piece.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the tube includes an internal surface and an external surface and wherein a threaded structure is disposed on the external surface on a portion of the inlet.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the tube and the intermediate piece are configured to removably secure by rotation about an axis.

### Claim 11

An apparatus configured to be assembled and disassembled comprising:
i) a tube having an inlet and an outlet;
ii) a chamber having a top with an opening formed therein and a bottom with an opening formed therein,
wherein the inlet removably secures to the top of the chamber; and
iii) an intermediate piece having a threaded structure configured to removably secure the tube, the intermediate piece, and the chamber together; wherein the intermediate piece further includes a porous surface extending the length of the diameter of the intermediate piece, and
iv) a base having an opening,
wherein the opening of the base removably secures to the bottom of the chamber.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the bottom of the chamber includes a threaded structure and the base includes a complementary threaded structure that interconnects to removably secure the chamber to the base forming a watertight seal.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the apparatus comprises a threaded structure on the inlet disposed on an external surface of the tube and a threaded structure on the top of the chamber disposed on an external surface of the chamber.

### Claim 14

A kit comprising:
an apparatus including a tube, and intermediate piece, a chamber, and a base, wherein the tube is configured to be removably secured to the intermediate piece, the intermediate piece is configured to be removably secured to the chamber, and the chamber is configured to be removably secured to the base, wherein the intermediate piece further includes a porous surface extending the length of the diameter of the intermediate piece;
a container configured to transport the apparatus; and
instructions for assembling, disassembling, cleaning and using.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The kit of claim 14 further including a solvent formulated to clean the apparatus.
