Abstract
A filtration covering apparatus for use covering diatomaceous earth filter grids for swimming pools. The filtration covering apparatus has a replaceable cover having two closed sides, a bottom opening, and a top opening. The replaceable cover is curved shaped to accommodate the filter grid. The filter grid fits within the top opening of the replaceable cover. The top opening includes a horizontal top edge having a zipper mechanism for securing the top opening closed for containing the filter grid therein.
Claims6
A filtration covering apparatus for use covering diatomaceous earth filter grids for swimming pools, for providing a more convenient, cost-effective means of maintaining filtering systems, the diatomaceous earth filters each have eight filter grids, substantially curved, a width, and attach to a filter connector, comprising:
- a replaceable cover substantially curved having two closed sides, a bottom opening, a top opening, and an interior for accommodating the curved filter grid, the top opening having a horizontal top edge having a zipper mechanism for securing the top opening closed once positioned on the filter grid, the bottom opening sized to accommodate the width of each of the filter grids and allow the filter connector access to the filter grids.

A method of maintaining a swimming pool filtration system, having a filter connector, using a filtration covering apparatus covering diatomaceous earth filter grids with skeleton fabric-type liner covers, the filtration covering apparatus having a replaceable cover substantially curved having two closed sides, a bottom opening, a top opening, and an interior for accommodating the filter grid, the top opening having a horizontal top edge having a zipper mechanism for securing the top opening closed once positioned on the filter grid, the steps comprising:
- (a) removing the skeleton fabric-type liner cover from the filter grid;
- (b) inserting the filter grid within the interior of the replaceable cover at the top opening, by extending upwardly the two closed sides to accommodate the filter grid within the interior, ensuring that the filter grid is accessible to the filter connector through the bottom opening;
- and
- (c) securely confining the filter grid within the interior of the replaceable cover by securing the top opening closed by zipping the zipper mechanism.
