Enlarged pool filtering system with skimmer and pre-filter

摘要

The present pool filtering system provides an elongated fine mesh filter with a large surface area; which can be removed and inserted through a standard filter access port found on pool decks. Because the filter assembly length is at least twice the diameter measurement, a large surface area is possible while remaining compact. The filter assembly includes a cylindrical porous filter basket that is completely lined with a filter bag. The filter bag can filter particulate matter as fine as three hundred microns or less. The present filtering system can provide preliminary filtering before water is delivered for further conditioning by secondary filters, heater, or the like. The present filter permits fine filtering without constant clogging or maintenance. When maintenance is required, there is easy access for cleaning and replacement. The elongated weir housing and weir door allows for a greater operating range of pool water level.

主权项

1. A filtering system for a pool containing water and having a pool wall and an adjacent deck, the filtering system comprising:
an inlet housing with a water inlet configured to be in fluid communication with the pool through the wall, the inlet housing having an access opening configured to be accessed through the deck; the inlet housing including a locator for positioning a reinforcement bar and a hole for tying the reinforcement bar to the inlet housing; a filter chamber in fluid communication with the inlet housing, the filter chamber having an outlet; and an elongated filter assembly configured to be fitted within the filter chamber, the filter assembly having a length and a diameter, the length being greater than twice the diameter, the filter assembly comprising:
a porous filter basket removably secured within the filter chamber; anda filter bag lining the porous filter basket, the filter basket providing support for the filter bag; wherein the diameter of the elongated filter assembly is sized to fit through the access opening; and wherein the water is drawn into the inlet housing from the pool and is delivered to the filter chamber, then the water is drawn through the filter bag and through the porous filter basket, thereafter the water is drawn into the outlet and delivered back to the pool.
