Abstract
A system and method for filtering pool water by removing algae from the water without the use of chemicals is presented. The system includes a pump, a hose, and a filter. The pump is configured to move a volume of water from the pool and push the water through the hose. A container is in communication with the hose to receive the water. The container includes an internal filter and a series of holes in the body of the container. The water passes through the filter and is discharged out through the holes. The water is recycled through the filter continuously. The location of the pump and the container relative to one another within the pool allows an operator to dictate the level of circulation and filtration of water through the pool.
Claims20
A portable water filtration system for a pool, comprising:
- a portable pump configured to pull a volume of water from the pool;
- a hose in communication with the pump and configured to receive and transport the volume of water being moved;
- and
- a rigid portable container in communication with the hose and configured to receive the water being moved, the water being discharged from the pump through the hose and into the portable container, the portable container having an inlet for coupling of the hose, the water passing through the inlet and exiting through an outlet opposite the inlet, the container including:
- an internal filter configured to capture algae from the volume of water, the internal filter located adjacent the inlet, the internal filter is compressed within the portable container and contains a plurality of layers with different density;
- and
- a plurality of holes defining the outlet and passing through the container such that the volume of water moving through the hose passes through the filter and out through the plurality of holes;
- wherein the volume of water is comprised wholly of water from the pool and is recycled through the pump and the container.
A method of filtering a pool, comprising:
- capturing a volume of water from the pool through a portable pump;
- discharging the volume of water from the portable pump through a hose to a rigid container, the container having an inlet for coupling of the hose, the water passing through the inlet and exiting through an outlet opposite the inlet;
- filtering the volume of water through a filter in the container, the filter being located adjacent the inlet of the container and having a plurality of layers with different densities, the filter compressed internally within the container, the container and the filter being submerged in the pool;
- returning the volume of water from the container into the pool;
- and
- recycling the volume of water through the filter, the pump, and the pool.
