Another object of the present invention is to provide a water transporting device which can transport water to a water tower easily.
Accordingly, a water transporting device comprises a sealed water tank, a water channel device, and a pressure reduction tank. The water channel device has a lowest sealed water box, a plurality of sealed water boxes, a highest sealed water box, a plurality of chambers between two of the sealed water boxes, and a plurality of connection pipes. Each of the connection pipes is connected to two of the sealed water boxes. Each of the connection pipes has a water outlet hole in one of the sealed water boxes. An upper end of each connection pipe receives a threaded plug. A washer is disposed between the connection pipe and the threaded plug. A first air exhaust tube is disposed on a top portion of the sealed water tank. An upper end of the first air exhaust tube receives a first cotter bolt. A water inlet tube is connected to the sealed water tank. A first solenoid valve is disposed on the water inlet tube. A water outlet tube is connected to the sealed water tank and the lowest sealed water box. A second solenoid valve is disposed on the water outlet tube. The water outlet tube has a water outlet aperture in the lowest sealed water box. An upper end of the water outlet tube receives a second cotter bolt. A connection tube is connected to the pressure reduction tank and the highest sealed water box. A water outlet pipe is connected to the pressure reduction tank. A third solenoid valve is disposed on the water outlet pipe. The pressure reduction tank has a main body, a gasket disposed on the main body, and an upper cover covering the main body. The upper cover has a lower collar inserted in the main body. A second air exhaust tube is disposed on a top portion of the highest sealed water box. A third air exhaust tube is disposed on a top portion of the upper cover. An upper end of the third air exhaust tube receives a third cotter bolt.

, and a pressure reduction tank
30
.
The water channel device
20
has a lowest sealed water box
21
, a plurality of sealed water boxes
21
, a highest sealed water box
21
, a plurality of chambers
23
between two of the sealed water boxes
21
, and a plurality of connection pipes
22
.
Each of the connection pipes
22
is connected to two of the sealed water boxes
21
. Each of the connection pipes
22
has a water outlet hole
221
in one of the sealed water boxes
21
. An upper end of each connection pipe
22
receives a threaded plug
24
. A washer
220
is disposed between the connection pipe
22
and the threaded plug
24
.
A first air exhaust tube
13
is disposed on a top portion of the sealed water tank
10
. An upper end of the first air exhaust tube
13
receives a first cotter bolt
14
.
A water inlet tube
11
is connected to the sealed water tank
10
. A first solenoid valve
110
is disposed on the water inlet tube
11
.
A water outlet tube
12
is connected to the sealed water tank
10
and the lowest sealed water box
21
. A second solenoid valve
120
is disposed on the water outlet tube
