Abstract

A cover incorporating an antimicrobial dispenser and a filter for a suction housing for a water vessel, whereby the antimicrobial and the filter are replaceable without having to remove the cover from the suction housing. Additionally, a flange suction body assembly capable of receiving a replaceable filter. The present invention also describes the method on how to promote and sale and package, a suction sanitation device.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A cover for a water vessel having a closed loop piping system and a water pump, the improvement comprising: 
 a cover having water flow through passages;    said cover covering a below the waterline suction housing;    said cover having an opening to receive a chemical;    said cover having an opening to receive a replaceable filter;    a chemical chamber housing a chemical;    said chemical chamber attached to said cover;    said chemical chamber having one or more opening to release said chemical;    wherein the chemical is replenishable in said chemical chamber without having to remove said cover from said suction housing; a filter;    said filter inserting into said opening to receive a replaceable filter; and    wherein the said filter is replaceable without having to remove said cover from the said suction housing.    
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the chemical chamber is calibrated to release a chemical concentration after mixing with water of 6 parts per million in a water vessel having a single bath cycle of less than one hour in duration.  
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the chemical is Bromine.  
   
   
       4 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the chemical is Chlorine.  
   
   
       5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the chemical chamber releases a metered dose of chemical.  
   
   
       6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , said cover retrofitable to a suction housing.  
   
   
       7 . A cover for a water vessel having a closed loop piping system and a water pump, the improvement comprising: 
 a cover having water flow through passages;    said cover covering a below the waterline suction housing, whereby a tool is needed to remove said cover from said suction housing;    a water drainage opening in the lower portion of said cover;    said cover having an opening to receive a chemical;    said cover having an opening to receive a replaceable filter;    a chemical chamber housing a chemical;    said chemical chamber attached rearward of the front surface of said cover;    said chemical chamber having one or more opening to release said chemical;    wherein the chemical is replenishable in said chemical chamber from the front side of said cover without having to remove said cover from said suction housing;    wherein said chemical inhibits a growth of a microorganism in at least a segment of the water vessel between water vessel pump activation and/or during water vessel pump activation;    a filter;    said filter inserting into said opening to receive a replaceable filter; and    wherein the said filter is replaceable without having to remove said cover from the said suction housing.    
   
   
       8 . A cover for a water vessel having a closed loop piping system and a water pump, the improvement comprising: 
 a cover having water flow through passages;    said cover covering a below the waterline suction housing;    said cover having an opening to receive a chemical;    said cover having an opening to receive a replaceable filter;    a chemical chamber housing a chemical;    said chemical chamber attached rearward of the front surface of said cover;    said chemical chamber having one opening to release said chemical;    wherein said chemical inhibits a growth of a microorganism in at least a segment of the water vessel.    a filter;    said filter inserting into said opening to receive a replaceable filter;    wherein the said filter is replaceable without having to remove said cover from the said suction housing; and    wherein the said cover, said filter and said chemical chamber accommodates over about 70 gallons per minute water flow pressure.    
   
   
       9 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , a chemical holder having a chemical release opening, wherein the chemical holder inserts into said chemical chamber.  
   
   
       10 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , said holder release opening has a cover covering; cover being removable by a user.  
   
   
       11 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the said filter restricts the water pressure out an output jet by less than 30%.  
   
   
       12 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the said cover, said filter and said filter increases a vacuum on a suction line by less than 15 Hg.  
   
   
       13 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the said chemical is a sliver metal or other metal or combination of metals that have antimicrobial properties.  
   
   
       14 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the said cover after attaching to said suction housing resists breakage when 15-foot pounds impact the center of said cover.  
   
   
       15 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the said cover after attaching to said suction housing will not dislodge from the said suction housing when 15-foot pounds impact the center of said cover.
