Definitions

• the invention relates to the technical field of water filtration of a swimming pool.
• the invention relates to the technical field of filtering stairs.
• the stairs which have a rounded overall shape immersed in water, and integrating stair steps and risers as such.
• This portion immersed in the water receives a filtration system being connected to a portion located outside the pool of the pool and which receives a pumping means for the suction and discharge of water.
• the part of the staircase immersed in the water is arranged in superposition of the panels constituting the basin of the pool, which are shaped to delimit a rounded surface corresponding to that of the staircase.
• EP 0 784 136 relates to a single technical module for pool, made by molding a plastic material.
• This module comprises a first portion receiving the technical organs of the installation (pump and filter), and their control means and a second portion, the outer surface of which constitutes stair steps.
• the portion that receives the technical devices must be perfectly sealed.
• This design also requires the use of a polyester molding technique that increases costs and does not allow for high production rates. In other words, the design of this module does not allow to use a plastic injection technique.
• the entire filtering staircase is made by the rotational molding technique.
• This technique makes it possible to obtain, directly during manufacture, a staircase defining a hollow closed volume acting as a reservoir.
• This tank is in communication with the pond water and has internal arrangements adapted to allow the mounting of a filtration system in communication with the water contained in said tank.
• the face of the body of the rotomolded staircase opposite to that having the steps, has arrangements for mounting and fixing a box in which are mounted means for suctioning and discharging water from the basin of the pool, in combination with the filtration system.
• This rotomoulding manufacturing technique thus makes it possible to obtain a staircase in the form of a perfectly sealed hollow volumetric body.
• this type of staircase is shaped to be connected in continuity with the adjacent panels or other elements constituting the pool of the pool, and therefore has arrangements for fixing a laminated inner fabric known under the name of "liner".
• the liner is cut in the shape of a U to delimit an indentation allowing the formation of steps.
• the fixing of the liner is performed in combination with a seal and a shim insert disposed in a rib formed peripherally to the notch of the staircase. If we consider the rotomolding technique used, it is not possible to obtain stairs of sufficient thickness to directly screw the fasteners. It is therefore necessary to use shims or reported supports in order to increase, at the location of the fixing of the liner, the thickness of the staircase to allow screwing fasteners. Often this setting up the shims is a long and delicate operation.
• the problem to be solved by the invention is to make a filtering staircase, especially for pool pools, shaped to be mounted in continuity with panels or other components of the pool pool , and which allows easy access to the filter members with the possibility of creating a plurality of other functions, while aiming to facilitate and simplify the fixing of the liner at the body of the staircase.

• the pumping means are mounted in an independent compartment adapted to be fixed to the first part receiving the filtration organs.
• the compartment receiving the pumping means is attached to the rear of the box of the first part.
• the one or more filtration members are mounted in combination with the pumping means by means of different pipes for sucking the water from the basin by the arrangements of the parts, in order to subject the said sucked water to the power of the organ or organs. filtering then discharge the water in the basin through nozzles that presents the second part.
• Another problem that the invention proposes to solve is to combine the filtration function with other functions.
• the second part has at the level of the steps and / or risers, balneotherapy nozzles and / or swimming against the current.
• the steps and risers have, in combination, an insert serving as a folder.
• the steps and risers have in combination, another reported element serving as a receiving file, with height adjustment capacity, massage head support by sending jets of water.
• Another problem to be solved by the invention is to provide a filtering staircase ready to be installed and adapted to any type of edge that can present the pool pool.
• the two parts are made by injection of a plastic material. Importantly, this results in manufacturing rationalization and lower costs.
