  • Patent number: 11945734
    Abstract: A filter device having a filter housing (1) for a filter medium formed from fibrous material (2), wherein the filter housing (1) has an inlet for liquid to be filtered and a suction opening (8) for the filtered liquid, in which it is proposed that the filter housing (1) is divided by means of an internal partition plate (4), which is provided with passage openings (11) for the liquid, into a suction-side prechamber (5) and an inlet-side filter chamber (6), wherein the prechamber (5) has a cross section which is widened in comparison to the suction opening (8) or widens from the suction opening (8) to the partition plate (4), and the filter chamber (6) is filled using the filter medium formed from fibrous material (2) and has the inlet. The filter chamber (6) enables a reliable and dimensionally stable receptacle for the fibrous material (2), wherein the risk of compression and compaction of the filter medium is reduced with the aid of the embodiment according to the invention.

  • Patent number: 11359397
    Abstract: A device is provided for disinfecting water of a swimming pool, which includes an inlet for water from the swimming pool and an outlet for the water, an ozonation device, and a mixing section for ozone-containing water, wherein the ozonation device includes at least one UV light source for generating ozone, and an admixing unit for admixing the ozone to the water of the inlet, and the mixing section comprises a housing connected to the inlet, wherein the UV light source is arranged within the housing to emit UV light into the housing interior. The housing has deflecting surfaces for water protruding into the housing interior, which ensure a meandering flow within the housing. The device enables improved disinfection and can be designed to be more space-saving and visually appealing than conventional devices.

  • Publication number: 20160347635
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for disinfecting water of a swimming pool, comprising an inlet for water from the swimming pool, an ozonation device, and a mixing section for ozone-containing water. The ozonation device comprises at least one UV light source (3) for generating ozone and an admixing unit (10) for admixing the generated ozone to the water of the inlet. The mixing section comprises a housing (1) which is connected to the inlet, and the at least one UV light source (3) is arranged on the housing (1) or within the housing (1) so as to emit the UV light into the housing interior. The housing (1) is provided with a transparent panel (11) for visually inspecting the housing interior. According to the invention, the housing (1) forms deflecting surfaces (2) for the water, said surfaces protruding into the housing interior and ensuring a meandering flow within the housing (1).
