The Little Aussie Sucker — Liquid Gold for Gardens
Melbourne, Australia (PRWEB) July 23, 2007
Paul O’Callaghan is a former farm hand from the Aussie outback who got so tired of carting buckets of wastewater from the bath to his parched garden that he invented a better way to do it with one trip, not 27.
Paul’s Waterleech invention is a portable, shower/bath/washing machine water collection and recycling unit, which can keep America’s gardens blooming during the drought. The unit is about to be launched in the U.S.
“Carting the water from the bath to my garden got me down, so I came up with something that would make it easy for me to collect and use the bath water to save our garden. People raved about my invention so we put it into production and then it snowballed from there,” said the knockabout outback inventor who was inundated with orders for the Waterleech.
The Waterleech or ‘little Aussie sucker,’ literally sucks up the ‘grey’ water from showers, baths and washing machines, which can then be wheeled outside to water gardens safely, without using precious water resources.
The water is sucked into a 16-gallon unit on easy-roll wheels; it is about the size of an upright vacuum cleaner. Twelve-volt rechargeable batteries power the whisper-quiet twin pumps.
Once the water is collected in Paul’s ‘tank on wheels’, the Waterleech is wheeled outside to the garden where it can be sprayed or connected to a sprinkler.
The centrepiece of Paul O’Callaghan’s technology is the patented but unsexy sounding ‘universal plug hole collection grommet’.
The ‘grommet’ fits over any size plughole where it sucks or collects up to 90 percent of the water before it wastes away down the drain. The Waterleech has the potential to recycle over 10,000 gallons per year — sufficient to keep household gardens blooming throughout the driest drought.
Paul is excited about the opportunity to save Americans’ gardens, just like he’s done in Australia, but in a new twist, he’s providing a certificate to every American Waterleech purchaser, which will entitle them to a share in his company, when it lists on the stock market.
In the first week in Australia, Paul sold 10,000 units during Australia’s worst drought on record.
With the launch of Waterleech in the U.S., the future is looking bright for gardens, for Paul and those who purchase a Waterleech.
The Aussie entrepreneur is a huge fan of Governor Schwarzenegger and would love to present a Waterleech to him. Who knows, Arnie might just becomes a huge fan of the little Aussie sucker.
The Waterleech is available from http://www.waterleech.us. It retails for around $ US1000.
High resolution images and a DVD are available.
