Abstract
A wave generating apparatus is provided, comprised of a wave pool, a wave generating chamber, and a filtration system. The filtration system comprises an intake, a pressurized return that releases water, and a filtration pump that pumps water from the intake to a pressurized return while filtering debris from the water. The pressurized return is located at a higher elevation relative to the intake. Water flows directionally from the pressurized return to the intake.
Claims24
A wave generating apparatus comprising:
- a wave pool with water comprising:
- a first deep end of the wave pool;
- a second end of the wave pool;
- a pool bottom inclining from the first, deep end toward the second end of the wave pool;
- and
- a beach edged located proximate to the second end of the wave pool;
- a wave generating chamber having one or more wave generators,
- adjacent to the first deep end of the wave pool;
- and
- a filtration system comprising:
- an intake located at a position along the pool bottom;
- a pressurized return that releases pressurized water to flow in a direction along the pool bottom towards the intake;
- and
- a filtration pump that pumps water from the intake to the pressurized return while filtering debris from the water;
- wherein the pressurized return is located at a higher elevation relative to the intake.

A wave generating apparatus comprising:
- a wave pool;
- a wave generating chamber adjacent to an edge of the wave pool;
- and a filtration system comprising:
- a pressurized return within the wave generating chamber that releases pressurized water against a wall of the wave generating chamber to dislodge debris on the wall;
- an intake located to catch debris dislodged from the wall of the wave generating chamber by the pressurized water from the pressurized return;
- and
- a filtration pump that pumps water from the intake to the pressurized return while filtering debris from the water.
