yah mogger, that is definately a farm-bred degasser. that is a maid-o-mist air removal device. when you first showed me your phone jpeg i took it to be a 3/4" ball valve not a device.
this design would function much the same way that a boiler scoop would remove air from a hot water heating boiler.
i didnt think the sons in law place is an H2S area but depending on the amount of water flow, gas type, quality and the suspected volume of gas, a vent to outdoors could be considered.
to be the most effective the water has to be static enough to allow the gases to rise out and break surface tension or baffled to allow the gas to 'shake' out of the water, like getting rid of carbonation in soda. im sure others here can add specifics but for the most part its pretty ingenious.
