System for filtering water from swimming pools

Abstract

A system for cleaning water of a swimming pool is disclosed. The system includes at least one first housing, at least one second housing, at least one third housing and pipes. The first housing includes at least one skimmer element and a corresponding filtration element. The skimmer element receives water. The corresponding filtration element filters water drawn via the skimmer element. The second housing includes a pump element spaced apart from the first housing and draws water from the swimming pool and pump water into the first housing through the skimmer element and the filtration element, for filtering and purification purposes and finally ejecting filtered water. The third housing is spaced apart from the first and second housing and includes an output element to receive and eject filtered water. The system of the present disclosure is non invasive in nature and provides flexibility of installation.

1 . A system for cleaning water of a swimming pool, said system comprising:
 at least one first housing comprising:
 at least one skimmer element adapted to receive water; 
 a corresponding filtration element adapted to filter water drawn via said skimmer element; 
   at least a second housing comprising:
 a pump element spaced apart from said first housing and adapted to draw water from said swimming pool and pump water into said first housing through said skimmer element and said filtration element, for filtering and purification purposes and finally ejecting filtered water; 
   wherein said filtration element is inline between said skimmer element and said pump element;
 at least a third housing spaced apart from said first and second housing comprising:
 an output element adapted to receive and eject filtered water; and 
 
 pipes, non-invasive with respect to the main structure and inner wall of the swimming pool, said pipes adapted to communicably couple said first housing, said second housing and said third housing; 
   wherein, each of said housings and pipes are placed in a spaced apart manner to contour the shape of the swimming pool, and said housings are adapted to be fixed only on the top ledge or outside of said swimming pool, thereby not damaging the inner walls of said swimming pool.   
     
     
         2 . A system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said pipes are placed along the outer surface of the pool, below removable gratings that run along the outer surface decking of the pool. 
     
     
         3 . A system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said filtration element includes a reusable or disposable filtration media. 
     
     
         4 . A system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said filtration element comprises a free flowing filtering media that reduces pressure loss during the filtration process. 
     
     
         5 . A system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said first housing, said second housing, and said third housing include clamping mechanisms adapted to clamp said housings to said wall or edge of said swimming pool. 
     
     
         6 . A system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said pumps include dual motor driving devices to increase or decrease throughput flow. 
     
     
         7 . A system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said pipes define airtight and watertight passageways for the flow of water. 
     
     
         8 . A system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said system includes a disinfecting element adapted for treating water through the filter element with a disinfectant before its release into said swimming pool via said output element. 
     
     
         9 . A system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said system includes a flow rate control mechanism adapted for controlling the rate of flow of water into and out of said system based on pre-defined parameters. 
     
     
         10 . A system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said system includes an electronic remote control management system for monitoring the health of, and for controlling the working of, the system. 
     
     
         11 . A system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said system includes sensors deployed at each element of said housing to sense individual health of each element in each of said housing. 
     
     
         12 . A system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said system includes sensors adapted to sense the flow rate of water in said pipes. 
     
     
         13 . A system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said system includes computation means adapted to compute differential flow-rate between various points in the pipes to determine chokes/blocks in said pipes. 
     
     
         14 . A system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said system includes a heating unit adapted to heat the water before it is ejected from the output element. 
     
     
         15 . A system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said output element includes a plurality of jet elements in close proximity to increase the flow of water in a particular prescribed area to provide a wave like motion in said swimming pool. 
     
     
         16 . A system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said system includes sensors to sense water level and further includes a water level switch that can start or stop said pump(s) according to sensed height of the water, based on predefined conditions. 
     
     
         17 . A system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said system includes sensors to sense water level and further includes water draining mechanism to drain out water from said swimming pool, based on pre-defined conditions. 
     
     
         18 . A system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said system includes an additional filtering medium connected to said output element. 
     
     
         19 . A system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said system includes light units placed at first housing and/or third housing for lighting the pool. 
     
     
         20 . A swimming pool having at least one system for cleaning water thereof as claimed in  claim 1 .
