Definitions

  • This device was invented to remove objects from a ponds and pools without requiring a diver or drainage of the pond or pool.
  • This portable device uses a gasoline powered high pressure pump and venturi system to siphon golf balls and other debris from the bottom of a pond or pool and deposit said items into a holding tank while returning water to original location. No diver is required, as an operator manipulates suction hose on a long pole.

Abstract

My invention is a quickly portable devise that sucks golf balls and debris from the bottom of ponds and pools, separates solid items from liquid, and returns liquid to source, thus greatly reducing the time and cost of current methods of skin divers collecting by hand or complete drainage of pond or pool.
