Whirlpool bath filter and suction device

摘要

A whirlpool bath has a combination suction fixture and disposable filter. The suction fixture is a plastic semi-cylindrical housing attachable to the tub. A removable faceplate is reinforced and resistant to body and hair entrapment. The disposable filter is fibrous having a porous core, wherein the porous core has a series of holes and/or slots graduating in size from small at the outlet end to large at the remote end. The filter, sloped floor of the housing and drain slots provide for low water retention during shutdown. A safety/sanitation port on the outlet port creates cavitation if the whirlpool bath is operated without the disposable filter. The preferred embodiment removable faceplate is attached to the housing via a magnet and a peripheral ledge providing a pop off design. The preferred embodiment filter also has a pop off design.
