[0028] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used herein, the term and/or includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. As used herein, the singular forms a, an, and the are intended to include the plural forms as well as the singular forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms comprises and/or comprising, when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.

[0029] The present invention provides a novel method of where the proposed invention presents a set of innovations in pool filter covers.

[0030] The inventive filter apparatus covering device comprises a main body adapted to encircle the cylindrical portion of the filter apparatus, the main body comprising a rectangularly shaped flexible material in which openings have been formed to allow passage of the outwardly protruding inlet and outlet pipe. Further, the ends of the rectangularly shaped material have, on opposite sides, hook and loop type fastening material so that the main body of the invention is secured around the cylindrical portion of the filtering apparatus.

[0031] Additional embodiments of the invention include a less expensive and more easily constructed cover which may be made of paper, thin plastic sheet material or other inexpensive materials, but which will provide some protection to the pool serviceman and against harsh elements in the environment. Generally, these embodiments may be disposed of after just a few uses. In this additional embodiment, means are provided to completely enclose the filter apparatus through the use of a draw string situated at the bottom of the covering.

[0032] While a specific embodiment has been shown and described, many variations are possible. With time, additional features may be employed. The particular shape or configuration of the platform or the interior configuration may be changed to suit the system or equipment with which it is used.

[0033] Having described the invention in detail, those skilled in the art will appreciate that modifications may be made to the invention without departing from its spirit. Therefore, it is not intended that the scope of the invention be limited to the specific embodiment illustrated and described. Rather, it is intended that the scope of this invention be determined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0034] The Abstract of the Disclosure is provided to allow the reader to quickly ascertain the nature of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. In addition, in the foregoing Detailed Description, it can be seen that various features are grouped together in various embodiments for the purpose of streamlining the disclosure. This method of disclosure is not to be interpreted as reflecting an intention that the claimed embodiments require more features than are expressly recited in each claim. Rather, as the following claims reflect, inventive subject matter lies in less than all features of a single disclosed embodiment. Thus, the following claims are hereby incorporated into the Detailed Description, with each claim standing on its own as a separately claimed subject matter.
