  • This invention relates to the field of filtration systems.
  • this invention relates to a system for filtering water from swimming pools.
  • swimming pools mainly serve as centres for recreation and exercise. These may be located at homes for private use, or at clubs for public use.
  • swimming pools may be both outdoor, open to sky, as well as be confined within closed spaces.
  • the water especially, its surface level is susceptible to impurities.
  • Conventional filtration pumps use skimmers to draw out water, and relay this drawn water to an externally located filtration plant, which usually consists of a sand based filter, where filtration takes place, before water is sent back into the pool.
  • This arrangement is a highly power consuming mechanism, mainly because of the power needed to channel the flow of water from the pool to the filtration house, through the sand, and back again.
  • Set up costs of the filtration plant is huge, because of the plumbing required, and the need for a separate space renders this conventional filtration plant troublesome in many ways.
  • Conventional filtration systems usually have concealed piping throughout the pool to facilitate proper circulation. This concealed piping is usually done by puncturing the structure of the pool. The concealed piping is used either for input of water, or output, or both. The said piping also carries the water between the pool and filtration unit. A leakage or fault in the concealed piping usually leads to major work in, and around, the pool.
