Pool protection and solar heating cover

Abstract

Pool protection and solar heating cover with a housing frame, a black plastic film roof covering, a central water spray manifold, a water pump, a pair of water directing channels, a thermostat and water conduit tubing. The plastic roof covering is stapled to the housing frame. The central water spray manifold is mounted under the peak of the roof covering. The pump is turned on by the thermostat when the temperature of the roof covering reaches a pre-determined level. The pump transfers water from a swimming pool to the manifold via the water conduit tubing. The manifold has a plurality of spray apertures that direct the water to the underside of the roof covering. The water slides down the underside of the roof covering until it reaches the water directing channels which direct the water back into the swimming pool.

1 . Pool protection and solar heating cover comprising:
 a housing frame;   a black plastic film roof covering;   a central water spray manifold;   a water pump;   a pair of water directing channels;   a thermostat;   water conduit tubing;   a plurality of roof to frame reinforcing tabs;   said plastic roof covering stapled, with the aid of said reinforcing tabs, to said housing frame;   said central water spray manifold mounted longitudinally under the peak of said roof covering;   said pump turned on by said thermostat when the temperature of said roof covering reaches a pre-determined level;   said pump transferring water from a swimming pool to said manifold via said water conduit tubing;   said water manifold having a plurality of spray apertures;   said apertures directing said water to the underside of said roof covering;   said water sliding down the underside of said roof covering until it reaches said water directing channels; and   said channels directing said water back into said swimming pool.
