Definitions

  • the invention relates to a purification process for the water-bearing Components, in particular the pipeline network with supply nozzles and drainage holes, a hot tub.
  • the piping and jets of hot tubs are contaminated from, the z. B. from dirt, skin particles and limescale can exist. Disadvantageously form these deposits an ideal breeding ground for disease-promoting germs.
  • the completion of the bath is the Bathwater mixed with a disinfectant.
  • the resulting Disinfecting solution is by the circulation pump through the water-bearing components of the spa pumped. After this By acting on the disinfectant solution, this is drained and the Pipeline is rinsed with fresh water.
  • the disadvantage is that the disinfectant due to the dilution in the bath water a low final concentration compared to the starting concentration having.
  • Another disadvantage is that the disinfecting solution is used with hot water. An approach with fresh water would prevent re-pollution, but would at the same time cause high water costs.
  • Disinfecting tablets which at a certain point in the pipeline network introduced and there by the passing fresh water be dissolved with release of oxygen. Disadvantage here is that it is only a one-time cleaning of the corresponding Line sections acts.
  • a disadvantage of both belonging to the prior art method is the comparatively poor filling of the line and nozzle cross section during disinfection. Another crucial Disadvantage with both procedures is that these only on the disinfection and not on the removal of deposits, d. H. the cleaning aligned with the aquiferous components of the spa are.
  • the object of the present invention is the development of a cleaning process for whirlpools, being following the cleaning and descaling the aquiferous components of the spa also their disinfection is provided.
  • the water-bearing components of a hot tub include in particular the pipe network, that with the circulation pump, the supply nozzles and the drainage holes of the hot tub is connected. But also the circulation pump with its connections and water-bearing Chambers, as well as other water-bearing containers of the Whirlpools are included.
  • the core idea of the cleaning process according to the invention is that the foam or the gas bubbles forming the foam due to their homodisperse distribution and due to the low interfacial tension in each case the entire volume of fill in water-bearing components. Compared to flushing with water, such a cleaning and with the addition of appropriate Means also a disinfection of the entire pipe cross-section reached.
  • Foam consists of individual gas bubbles, which through liquid films are separated from each other.
  • the formation and stabilization of Foam is made possible by surfactants whose molecules are so attached arrange the surface of the lamellae that the hydrophilic groups in the liquid and the hydrophobic groups to the gas phase, so inside the gas bubble, are aligned.
  • Foam leaves generate by using a gas under high forces in a Liquid is introduced.
  • the cleaning and descaling should be the removal of lime and Dirt deposits serve while disinfecting to combat of pathogenic microorganisms, especially bacteria, Viruses, spores, fungi and molds.
  • a disinfectant substances or mixtures of substances come into question which the surfaces of the aquiferous components of the hot tub in set a condition that no longer permits infection. To make sure This condition must be the effect of the disinfectant bactericidal, funicidal, virucidal and sporicidal (microbicidal).
  • Disinfectants are understood as such disinfectants, the also function as a cleaning and, if necessary, care agent.
  • the use of different foam types is provided.
  • the cleaning effect of the foam is due to the addition of surfactant.
  • lime-dissolving substances By adding lime-dissolving substances, the detachment of calcium deposits can also be achieved.
  • all agents known to those skilled in the art may be added if they do not affect the consistency and cleansing action of the foam.
  • foam additives with cleansing and anti-scale action which can be used in combination, gives a variety of foam types in question.
  • the number of types of foam which may be used for the cleaning process is additionally increased if the foam is acted upon by an additive which has a disinfecting effect.
  • the foam reservoir either a stationary device belonging to the whirlpool, which is connected to its mains or that it is a mobile independent device.
  • a mobile independent Devices in this sense are e.g. also in the drugstore Cans or bottles available cleaning foams, which optionally also kalklösende and disinfecting Have effect.
  • the water-bearing components of the spa under pressure with foam are applied.
  • the inventor has recognized that available from the commercially available Spray cans generated pressure to carry out the inventive Cleaning process is already sufficient.
  • alternative is the generation of higher pressures in a designed for it Foam reservoir with the help of a compressor conceivable.
  • a regulatable vacuum is applied and the foam from a foam reservoir into the water-bearing Components of the spa is sucked.
  • the water-bearing ingredients after acting the foam once or several times with the help of the spa belonging circulating pump to be rinsed with fresh water.
  • the first flushing process is the largest Removed part of the foam. With each additional rinse cycle Any foam residues are removed and further diluted. Basically, it remains undone, via a valve, a connection to produce external water supply and with the help of Fresh water to carry out the rinsing process.
  • the use of a connector provided the characteristics an adapter has and the supply of the foam to the various jets and outlets belonging to the jacuzzi as well as especially for the cleaning process according to the invention provided foam supply allows.
  • the fixation of the Connector is done manually and does not require the use additional tools.
  • FIG. 1 shows how the foam 6 from the foam reservoir 1 with the help of the connector 2 via one of the supply nozzles 3 in the conduit network 4 of the whirlpool is initiated. It is through Arrows indicated that the foam from the exposed supply nozzles 3b, 3c and 3d, which also to the tub inside open, exit. Another arrow 5 symbolizes that the Foam also in the other water-bearing components of the Hot tubs penetrate. This includes the water-bearing components in addition to the pipe network and the nozzles and the circulation pump as well as the drainage holes in the bottom area of the hot tub.
  • the Width of the foam symbolizing arrows 5,6 corresponds to that Cross section of pipes and nozzles.
  • connection piece 7 shown in FIG. 2 tapers on the output side increasingly. This shape allows the fitting adapter-like in the openings of supply nozzles or drain holes as well as in the opening of the foam feed line with different Diameters fits. With the help of the connector 7 is the Supply of the foam from the foam reservoir in a convenient way allows without any additional assembly with tools is required.
  • the connecting piece 7 is dimensioned so that it the inlet nozzles or outlet openings 8 of a whirlpool can be put on.
