Description

Beck composite

The invention relates to a pool, preferably filled with water, having at least a first basin, which is designed as a swimming pool and having a first side wall, a first floor and a first edge of the pool, and at least a second basin, which is designed as a filter pool and a second Side wall, a second bottom and a second edge of the basin, wherein at least one of the basins has at least one water discharge opening or an overflow and at least one of the basins at least one water supply opening. There are cymbal composites are known in which two adjoining basins with a partition wall have a common water level, which is above the partition wall, wherein water is sucked above the partition from the pool and fed to the filter pool. The purified water passes through the partition wall back into the pool. A disadvantage of such an arrangement is that the water must be lowered below the partition to achieve a separation of the two basins.

The object of the invention is therefore to provide a pool composite of the type mentioned, with which the mentioned disadvantages can be avoided, and in which the basins easy, preferably by lowering the water level, can be separated, and in the different levels in the individual basins easy can be compensated. Another task is to enable independent of the pool energy-saving operation of the filter tank in winter. According to the invention this is achieved in that the at least one swimming pool and the at least one filter tank are connected to at least one connecting device, wherein the connecting device free of funding, in particular pumps or suckers, wherein the at least one swimming pool and the at least one filter tank by means of the connecting device as communicating Vessels are formed, and are provided for filling with water surfaces at the same level. This pelvic composites are created, which can be easily separated by lowering the water, the openings are not clogged by sinking sediments or objects. Furthermore, the water level of the basin can be adjusted or compensated in a simple manner. In continuation of the invention may be provided to prevent clogging of the first opening, or a reduction of the flow through deposits, that the connecting means comprises at least a first opening, and the first opening in the first side wall is arranged.

In this connection, it can be provided that the at least one connecting device comprises at least one second opening arranged in the filter tank, wherein the first opening lies below the lowest level of the second basin edge and the second opening lies below the lowest level of the first tank edge. As a result, it is structurally ensured that the pelvic composite is a communicating vessel which is suitable for the formation of water surfaces at a common level.

In a continuation of the invention it can be provided that the first opening more than 10%, preferably more than 30%, in particular more than 50%, especially more than 70% of the vertical distance of the lowest level of the first pool edge to the lowest level of the first floor, is arranged above the lowest level of the first floor. As a result, the pool is connected to the filter tank to a certain minimum level, which can ensure that the swimming pool and the filter pool have water surfaces at a common level up to a predefinable minimum level. This also makes it possible, by deliberately lowering the water level in one of the pools, to induce a deliberate separation of the basins if this is desired, for example in the case of a swimming pool independent and thus energy-saving circulation of the filter basin in winter.

In this context, it can be provided in a continuation of the invention that the connecting device is designed as a connecting tube and / or through hole. This represents a structurally particularly simple embodiment of the connecting device. According to a further embodiment of the invention, it can be provided that the connecting device comprises at least one blocking means. As a result, a simple separation of the basin without lowering the water level can be realized. This is particularly advantageous for achieving a swimming pool independent, and thus energy-saving circulation of the filter tank in winter advantageous.

The invention further relates to a Beck composite of the aforementioned type. There are known pool associations with a swimming pool and a filter or clarifier, in which one of the basins is at a higher level than the other Pool. The swimming pool and the clarifier have no common water level. Rather, the water level of the clarifier is well above the water level of the pool, or vice versa. Likewise, the pool edge of the pool is at least partially significantly above the level of the highest part of the pool edge of the filter tank, or vice versa. Through a skimmer, therefore by a surface suction, water is sucked out of the pool and fed to the clarifier, or vice versa. By overflowing the pool edge of the higher basin, the water gets back into the lower basin. Such an arrangement complicates the arrangement of a common roof or cover of the two basins.

There are also pelvic composites of the type described in which the two basins are arranged structurally separate. Another disadvantage of such pool connections is that they are structurally very complex and take up a lot of space. Furthermore, such pools can be covered or covered at different levels only with great design effort.

The object of the invention is therefore to provide a pool composite of the type mentioned, with which the mentioned disadvantages can be avoided, which is structurally simple and space-saving to implement, which supports a common cover or roof of the swimming pool and the filter pool, and at least one operation the filter basin in winter simplified.

According to the invention this is achieved in that the at least one swimming pool is disposed adjacent to the at least one filter tank, wherein the highest area of the first pool edge is at substantially the same level as the highest area of the second pool edge, or one of the pools of another Basin is enclosed, the pool comprises an overflow into the filter tank and / or the filter pool an overflow into the pool, each of the water discharge openings is located below the lowest area of the overflow. As a result, a structurally simple and compact pelvic composite can be created. By the edge of the pool at the same level, a coverage of the entire pelvic composite is positively supported. A common pool and pool cover unites protection of the swimming pool from contamination with the cold protection of the filtration pool in one unit. Furthermore, by the proposed measures, a pool composite can be created in which the filter pool is completely enclosed by the pool, or vice versa. As a result, a fluidic particularly advantageous embodiment is achieved, in which a very efficient and uniform surface cleaning is realized, and a particularly uniform flow through the filter body which is charged on all sides with water to be purified.

In this context it can be provided that the overflow is associated with a mechanical filter, preferably a sieve. A filter in the overflow helps in a simple and advantageous way to clean the water of coarse impurities, which would otherwise sediment in the filter tank and cover the biological filter.

The invention further relates to a Beck composite of the type mentioned. There are known swimming pools, which are cleaned or clarified by circulation through a biological filter tank, the circulation is usually operated for cost reasons only during the warm seasons.

A disadvantage of such an arrangement is that in the cold seasons, therefore in the fall and in winter, the circulation and thus the flow through the biological filter is adjusted. As a result, the aerobic bacterial cultures die in the filter body or are converted into anaerobic biomass, which means a significant impairment of the filter effect in the subsequent bathing season. As a result, it comes at the beginning of the subsequent bathing season to increased algae in the pool. The object of the invention is therefore to provide a pool composite of the type mentioned, with which the mentioned disadvantages can be avoided, and which allows a simple winter operation of the filter pool, especially a biological filter pool, the biological filter body remains alive and functional. According to the invention, this is achieved in that the at least one filter tank comprises at least one water discharge opening and at least one water supply opening, wherein the water discharge opening and the water Zuführöfmung are interconnected and spaced from each other, and that the water discharge opening and the Water supply are part of a circulating only the water of the filter tank.

This can be a cost effective way over the winter Water cycle are maintained, which concerns only the filter tank, which thereby independent of the pool can be kept alive, so there is no increased algae formation in the pool in the spring or summer. Furthermore, this can be used only a filter tank circulating pump, which is much smaller and more power efficient than the pump necessary for the circulation of the pool. As a result, the operation of the filter tank over the winter is cheaper than the operation of the entire pool network. In this connection, it can be provided in a pelvic composite according to the invention that the at least one swimming pool and the at least one filter tank are connected to at least one connecting device, wherein the connecting device is free of conveying means, in particular pumps or suckers, wherein the at least one swimming pool and the at least a filter tank are formed by means of the connecting device as communicating vessels, and are provided for filling with water surfaces at the same level. This pelvic composites are created, which can be separated easily by Abseriken the water, the openings are not clogged by sinking sediments or objects. Furthermore, the water level of the basin can be adjusted or compensated in a simple manner. In a continuation of the invention it can be provided that the at least one swimming pool is arranged adjacent to the at least one filter tank, wherein the highest area of the first pool edge is at substantially the same level as the highest area of the second pool edge, or one of the pools of one the pool is enclosed, the pool comprises an overflow into the filter tank and / or the filter pool an overflow into the pool, each of the water discharge openings is arranged below the lowest area of the overflow. As a result, a structurally simple and compact pelvic composite can be created. By the edge of the pool at the same level, a coverage of the entire pelvic composite is positively supported. Such common coverage of swimming pool and filter pool combines the protection of the pool from contamination with the Käteshutz the filter pool in one unit. Furthermore, by the proposed measures, a pool composite can be created in which the filter pool is completely enclosed by the pool, or vice versa.
