POOL GUTTER WITH DECK GRATE ADAPTER
A pool perimeter assembly includes conduits extending between the sidewalls, wherein the conduits are separated by a common wall between the sidewalls. A grate is positioned on the gutter apparatus to direct fluid flow into at least one of the conduits. The fluid flow may include water or air. The grate is so dimensioned relative to the gutter apparatus so as to fit within a grate fitting device connected to the gutter assembly. The grate fitting device is a grate angle having at least a riser and a lip. The grate angle may include a welding base used in up-fitting existing pool structures to accommodate new grates.
Surface Gravity Wave Generator and Wave Pool
A wave pool for generating surfable waves is disclosed. The wave pool includes a pool for containing water. The pool defines a channel having a first side wall, a second side wall, and a bottom with a contour that slopes upward from a deep area proximate the first side wall toward a sill defined by the second side wall. The wave pool further includes at least one foil at least partially submerged in the water near the side wall, and being adapted for movement by a moving mechanism in a direction along the side wall for generating a wave in the channel that forms a breaking wave on the sill. The wave pool further includes one or more passive flow control mechanisms to mitigate a mean flow of the water induced by the movement of the at least one foil in the direction along the side wall.
SWIMMING POOL WALL HAVING A DRAINAGE GROOVE
This invention relates to a swimming pool wall having a drainage groove. The side wall (2) of the swimming pool and the drainage groove (10) are formed from a single piece of material. The slope wall (4) of the drainage groove (10), which is linked to the side wall (2) of the swimming pool, directly adjoins the swimming pool overflow edge (3).
Apparatus for evacuating contaminants and water vapor from an area above a swimming pool
An apparatus captures and evacuates air from an area above a body of liquid, particularly a swimming pool. The apparatus exhausts the contaminants and water vapor to an area outside of an enclosure housing the swimming pool. The invention comprises an assembly mounted to a wall adjacent the body of liquid. The assembly is comprised of a top section, opposing side sections connected by the top section, and at least one flange extending from an edge of at least one side section. The wall-mounted and bench assembly may be formed integrally, but also may be formed from two or more pieces.
Surface gravity wave generator and wave pool
A wave pool includes a channel that includes a bottom contour with a depth that runs from a deep end to a shoal or beach. One or more three-dimensional foils are vertically arranged along at least one side of the channel, and moved against the water in the channel. Each foil has a curvilinear cross-sectional geometry that defines a leading surface that is adapted to generate a wave in water moving past the leading surface, and a trailing surface configured for flow recovery to avoid separation of the flow of water in the wave and to mitigate drag from the foil from the water moving past the leading surface.
INFINITY EDGE SWIMMING POOL CLEANER AND METHOD
An infinity pool cleaner and a method for cleaning an infinity pool having a blower connected to an inlet in the pool to blow air into the pool near enough to the infinity edge and create bubbles and waves to wash debris over the infinity edge and a controller to periodically activate the blower and create bubbles and waves in the pool to wash debris over the infinity edge.
Swimming pool structure with water drawing, filtering and recirculating circuit
The present invention relates to a swimming pool structure having at least one edge zone and a water collection, filtering and recirculation circuit, the latter including at least one well zone (WZ) for falling water, at least one filter mounted in the well zone and designed to intercept the water falling into it.
POOL GUTTER AND WALL ASSEMBLY
A pool structure assembly that includes a wall including at least one hook member, where the at least one hook member is rotatably connected to the wall. The pool structure assembly further includes a gutter assembly including at least one pin member and a seal member positioned between the gutter assembly and the wall, where the hook member is rotated into engagement with the pin member causing the gutter assembly to move into sealed engagement with the wall.
