Contractile Vacuoles, I think.
"Osmoregulation is carried out by a pair of contractile vacuoles, which actively expel water absorbed by osmosis from the surroundings."

Light micrograph of Paramecium (Paramecium multimicronuleatum), a ciliate protozoan, with oral groove, food vacuoles, nucleus (left edge) and cilia. Paramecium are found mainly in stagnant ponds, feeding on bacteria and plant particles. They have a permanent mouth called an oral grove. Food taken in through the oral groove is digested within temporary digestive vacuoles in the cell cytoplasm. The two contractile vacuoles act as osmotic regulators, controlling the flow of water across the ciliate's membrane. The contractile vacuoles are surrounded by a halo of radiating channels. Excess water collects in the channels, drains into the vacuole and is then discharged through a pore at the surface.

the contractile vacuole is used by the paramecium to expel extra amount of water in the organism..

Cell phones at pumps, is like cell phones in hospitals Its more a theoretical danger than a real one They don't want you using your phone in case you slow down the line up. Static electricity is more a danger, but would slow down pumping gas, so they skip that concern Its about money

It's called a contractile vacuole.

Vacoules, in my understanding it is an organelle which regulates water in paramecium.

I think it's osmosis diffusion... I'm not sure though!!! Hope this helped!!!
