Abstract: “Electric pump for the re-circulation of water”. It includes a suction chamber (1) connected by a communication conduit (3), as well as a filter vessel (5), into which the water drawn in enters by an open upper inlet (6) and exits by multiple small orifices made in its wall (7) and/or its lower base (8). The communication conduit (3) is arranged at a lower level to that of the filter vessel lower base. Moreover, below the lower base (8) of the filter vessel (5) and the impeller assembly (9) an ample hollow space (16, 17) is arranged and is capable of containing a relatively high volume of water. Applicable to the re-circulation and filtering of swimming pool water.
