Abstract

1502416 Swimming pools B R CARTER 24 April 1975 [24 Jan 1974] 03389/74 Heading A4N A swimming pool arrangement for circulating and heating water comprises a pool basin 1, a terrace 3 adjacent the basin and inclined downwardly towards the basin, a reservoir tank 4 adjacent the terrace, and a pump 13 in a conduit leading from the basin to the tank, the arrangement being such that either water is released through the large valved outlet 17 of the tank and floods the terrace to allow a buoyant, thermally insulating cover 15 to be floated out on to the pool to reduce heat loss therefrom or alternatively water is released through the small valved outlet 24 and heated by solar energy as it flows over the terrace from where it is channelled through apertures 8 in wall 6 into gully 7 and thence via conduit 9 to the bottom of the basin, the water returning to the tank via conduits 10 to 12 and pump 13. When the pool is not in use water may be heated by setting valve 23 to allow flow from conduit 22 to the pump and setting valve 21 to direct flow from the pump to the tank so that water flows from the tank over the terrace, down the gully, through conduits 9 and 22, and back to the tank via the pump. Filtering is provided by filters 18 and 19 and may take place without heating the water by setting valves 21 and 23 so that water is withdrawn from the pool through conduits 10 to 12, passed through filter 18 and pump 13 and returned via conduit 20. The water may be heated by passing it over an opaque cover, under a transparent cover, or between one of each type of cover, the cover being attached to the tank by, for example, hooks and eyelets. Alternatively in addition the water may pass through pipes in the terrace. The terrace is preferably formed of a heat insulating material covered by a durable waterproof material. There may be optionally a multiple arrangement of terraces, tanks, covers and conduits. A weir or channel may be provided between the tank outlets and the terrace to provide even distribution of water flow. Automatic control of the arrangement may be provided in conjunction with temperature sensors.
