Abstract

Installation for water saving in filtration systems in swimming pools. This installation is characterized in that the hydraulic circuit comprises, before the conventional filter of the filtering system, the arrangement of a first filter, through which the water coming from the motor pump passes, in which the larger particles are retained, preventing them from reaching to the conventional filter. Preferably the first filter will comprise as filter element a sleeve that is coupled to a gridded support. (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)

Description

Water saving installation in the pool filtration systems.

Object of the invention

Water saving installation in the pool filtration systems.

Background of the invention

Water consumption in swimming pools, apart from filling water, due to leaks due to structural deficiencies of the vessel or of the sealing of the installation, upon evaporation natural, the own use by the bathers and the physical and chemical treatments that guarantee the necessary hygienic sanitary conditions of the installation.

In this case the invention will focus on the physical treatment of the pools where they are mostly used sand filters and secondarily filter cartridges.

In the filters, and mainly in those of sand, as solids are retained in suspension spaces they fill up requiring a greater pressure to cross the filter element

There comes a time when it is necessary to eliminate trapped solids to leave the filter element clean and be able to continue filtering, for which a periodic backwashing the filter mass and then a rinse.

A filter wash requires a significant amount of water

Summary of the invention

The object of the invention is an installation for save much of the water used to wash filters

For this, the installation includes, before conventional filter filtering system, the arrangement of a first filter, through which the water from the motor pump passes, in which larger particles are retained preventing Get to the conventional filter.

This reduces the number of washes meaning the saving of approximately 50% of the water commonly used

Preferably the first filter comprises as filter element a sleeve that is attached to a support lattice

These and other features will come off better than the detailed description that follows, to facilitate which It is accompanied by a sheet of drawings in which a practical case study that is cited only by way of non-limiting example of the scope of the present invention.

Description of the drawings

In the drawings:

Figure 1 shows in plan the whole of the installation, and

Figures 2 and 3 represent in perspective and in raised section, respectively the first filter.

Description of a preferred embodiment

According to the drawings in the circuit hydraulic (1) of the installation is available before the filter conventional sand (2) a first filter (3) through which water passes from the motor pump (4) in which the particles are retained larger, preventing them from reaching the conventional filter (2), with what the filter mass can work in full depth improving filtration quality and optimizing the ability to conventional filter filtration (2).

Preferably the first filter (3) will comprise as a filter element a sleeve (5) (figure 3) that is coupled to a lattice support formed by three conical pieces (6), (7) and (8) of different diameter arranged inside each other placing the folded sleeve according to three concentric sections between said three pieces.

The input (9) and output (10) connections of water are located at the base of the body (11) of the first filter (3) diametrically opposed.

In the installation the provision can be provided of a bypass in order to continue using it in case of manipulation of the first filter (3), by example to proceed to cleaning the sleeve (5) for which can be removed by opening the top cover (12) that closes the body (11) of the first filter (3). However the first filter (3) also can be installed in-line between the pump (4) and the conventional filter (2).

As the fabric of the sleeve (5) goes retaining suspended solids a cake is formed on the own tissue that favors the retention of smaller solids.

The invention, within its essentiality, can be put into practice in other embodiments that differ only in detail from that indicated solely by way of example, which will also achieve the protection that collect. This installation can therefore be carried out for savings of water in the filtration systems in swimming pools, with the means, most suitable components and accessories, being able to elements components be replaced by other technically equivalent ones, by All of this falls within the claims.
