Abstract
A pool fluid control system utilizes a fluid collection tank having an intake enclosure extending therefrom. The intake enclosure has an open grate which is configured to be positioned flush with the pool wall. Water which accumulates between the pool wall and the liner flows through the grate, into the intake enclosure, and then into the collection tank. A sump pump or other submersible pump within the collection tank then discharges the water out of the collection tank for disposal at a location away from the pool. This constant monitoring and then automatic removal of unwanted water from the space between the liner and the pool wall serves to maintain the integrity of the liner in relation to the wall.
Claims16
A fluid control system for maintaining the integrity and positioning of a swimming pool liner within a swimming pool having internal pool walls, said system comprising:
- fluid intake means positioned within an interior pool wall of a swimming pool for allowing the entry of accumulating fluid;
- fluid collection means for receiving accumulated fluid from the fluid intake means, said fluid collection means comprising a fluid intake opening and a fluid discharge port;
- and
- pump means within the fluid collection means for discharging accumulated fluid from the fluid collection means, whereby said fluid accumulating within a space between the interior pool wall and a swimming pool liner located within the pool flows into the fluid intake means to the fluid collection means and is then discharged from the fluid collection means through the fluid discharge port, thereby maintaining the integrity and positioning of the liner within the swimming pool.
A swimming pool having internal walls, a swimming pool liner adjacent to the walls, and a fluid control system for maintaining the integrity and positioning of the swimming pool liner within the swimming pool, said fluid control system comprising:
- fluid intake means positioned within an interior pool wall of the swimming pool for allowing the entry of accumulated fluid;
- fluid collection means for receiving accumulated fluid from the intake means, said fluid collection means comprising a fluid intake opening and a fluid discharge port;
- and
- pump means within the fluid collection means for discharging accumulated fluid from the fluid collection means, whereby said fluid accumulating within a space between said interior pool wall and the swimming pool liner flows into the fluid intake means to the fluid collection means and is then discharged from the fluid collection means through the fluid discharge port, thereby maintaining the integrity and positioning of the liner within the swimming pool.
A fluid control system for maintaining the integrity and positioning of a swimming pool liner within a swimming pool having internal pool walls, said system comprising:
- a fluid collection tank having a fluid intake opening and a fluid discharge port;
- an intake enclosure extending laterally out from the collection tank and through an internal pool wall, the fluid intake opening being located between the collection tank and the intake enclosure, said intake enclosure comprising an external grate which is substantially flush with the interior pool wall;
- and
- pump means within the collection tank for discharging fluid which accumulates within the collection tank, whereby said fluid accumulating within a space between said interior pool wall and the swimming pool liner enters the grate and flows into the intake enclosure to the collection tank and is then discharged from the collection tank through the fluid discharge port, thereby maintaining the integrity and positioning of the liner within the swimming pool.
