A suctioning device for suctioning impurities from the bottom of large artificial water bodies is provided. The suctioning device includes a flexible sheet configured to provide a structural frame; a plurality of first brushes depending from the sheet; a plurality of middle brushes; a plurality of lateral brushes; a plurality of suction points; a plurality of wheels configured to provide secondary support when the brushes are worn out; a plurality of collectors configured to gather the suctioned water into external suction lines; a plurality of internal suction lines configured to conduit the suctioned bottom water flow from the plurality of suction points to the plurality of collecting means; and a coupling device connecting the internal suction lines and the collectors, wherein a rate of the bottom water flow entering the suctioning device is the same or higher than a rate of water flow suctioned by an external pumping system.

A hand tool apparatus for cleaning pool tile and plaster pool stains. The apparatus is made of chemical resistant plastics and a hydro turbine. The apparatus body houses two ports. One port is for the water intake line. A second port is for the suction line coming from the pool pump system. The suction line from the pool pump system then connects to the invention (hand held tool). The invention houses a hydro turbine. A detachable abrasion member is mounted at the end of the turbine shaft. The hydro turbine is activated by using pool suction from the pool pump system. A 3-way valve controls the water intake flow which in turn controls the desired RPM's (revolutions per minute). The combination of RPM's and abrasion member results in removal of unwanted calcium buildup on swimming pool tile or swimming pool plaster.

There is disclosed a system and method for streaming of volumetric three-dimensional video content. The system includes a separate rendering server and display device such that the rendering server receives pose and motion data from the mobile device and generates completed frames of video for the mobile device. The frames of video are transmitted to the mobile device for display. Predictive algorithms enable the rendering server to predict display device pose from frame-to-frame to thereby reduce overall latency in communications between the rendering server and display device.

A liquid-submersible vacuum system includes a housing canister enclosing a filtration element and a water pump. Power comes from a power converter that plugs into a standard AC power supply. The vacuum system further includes a diffuser cap and a discharge hose cap, with each providing the vacuum system with a discrete mode of operation.

Detailed is a device for guiding a cable for linking a submerged robot, in particular a robot for cleaning swimming pools, to the device for controlling and powering same, said guiding device including: a. a coupling including a rotary connector, connected by one side to a first floating portion of the linking cable extending from the control and power device to said coupling and, by the other side, to a second portion of the linking cable extending from said coupling to the submerged robot; b. a floating mounting including: b(i). a float; b(ii). an interface for mechanically linking the rotary connector to said float; and b(iii). a hood extending above the surface when the floating mounting is submerged in a liquid and removably connected to the float; c. in which the mechanical link between the float and the rotary coupling is a ball-and-socket link.

The invention relates to a power lead for a swimming pool cleaning robot. Said power lead comprises a rotary connector and a buoyancy means supporting said rotary connector. An upper part of said buoyancy means is a cap shaped to slide under a swimming pool cover, under the effect of a traction exerted by the swimming pool cleaning robot on the buoyancy means through the power lead.

A non-chemical sanitation system for a body of water comprises a floating base, an internal hydro-electric power generator, and one or more sanitizing mechanisms electrically powered by the hydro-electric power generator, where the hydro-electric power generator derives its energy from water pressure produced by a pool pump. In some embodiments, the one or more non-chemical sanitizing mechanisms comprise one or more ultraviolet LED lights. In some embodiments, the one or more non-chemical sanitizing mechanisms comprise one or more ionizers. In some embodiments, the system is connected to a filter pipe and filter of a pool and the hydro-electric power generator is placed within the path of water flowing to the pool filter in order to generate power and power the one or more sanitizing mechanisms.

A water sanitization system is able to sanitize water for drinking and other uses. A mechanically operable water sanitization system comprises an inlet port, an outlet port and a base comprising one or more sanitization mechanisms. A mechanical device such as a crank operated pump passes water through the base and by the one or more sanitization mechanisms. The one or more sanitization mechanisms sanitize the water and the water is passed out of the system through the outlet port. The outlet port is able to distribute the water, to a bucket and/ or other receptacles for later use.

An adapter for a pool cleaning system is provided. The adapter includes a base member having a top and a bottom surface. The adapter also includes six upper ports coupled to the top surface of the base member, each upper port including an upper aperture extending through the upper port and through the base member. The adapter further includes five lower ports coupled to the bottom surface of the base member, each lower port including a lower aperture extending through the lower port and through the base member. In some embodiments, four of lower ports are in fluid communication four of the upper ports and one of the lower ports is in fluid communication with two of the upper ports.

A hose adapter for use in an automated pool cleaning system is provided. The adapter attaches at one end to the outlet of a dedicated water return line in a swimming pool and at an opposite end to a pool cleaner hose. The adapter has an extension arm that secures the hose at an elevated position above the water return line. By elevating the hose, the adapter prevents kinking and tangling in the hose so that the automated cleaning system operates more effectively.
