Abstract: An ozone manifold including a primary flow conduit for directing the pool water through the ultraviolet, ozone manifold. Further, a cross member conduit having an advanced oxidation chamber disposed therein in fluid communication with the primary flow conduit. An inlet flow conduit disposed between the primary flow conduit and the cross member conduit to direct a first bifurcated stream of pool water from the primary flow conduit into a liquid flow chamber within the advanced oxidation chamber. An ozone collection conduit within the advanced oxidation chamber for generating ozone to be mixed with the first bifurcated stream flowing through the inlet flow conduit. An outlet flow conduit disposed between the primary flow conduit and the cross member conduit to direct the first bifurcated stream of pool water from the liquid flow chamber to a water outlet of the flow conduit.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for cleaning the surfaces of a pool by a programmed robotic pool cleaner initially set at an arbitrary position in the poll. The pool can be of any standard or non-standard shapes, and the surfaced with any conventional materials. The robot is advanced until it encounters a first obstacle (1), then reverses direction and advances along the same path to an opposing second obstacle (2) to form a first path between the opposing first (1) and second (2) obstacles. At the second obstacle (2), the robot reverses and advances to a predetermined point (A) between the opposing obstacles along said first path. At the predetermined point (A), the robot stops and turns in a first direction at a predetermined angle of turn, and repeats the above steps along additional paths until the sum of the predetermined angle of turns generates a quantity of paths sufficient to substantially clean the pool surfaces.
