  • Patent number: 7407575
    Abstract: A filtering structure intended to be incorporated a vertical swimming pool wall has a filtering device and a pumping device with the pumping device having an electrical part, including an electric motor, and a hydraulic part equipped with a turbine. The filtering structure has a suction port facing towards a nominally horizontal access passageway partly submerged in water, and emerging towards a nominally vertical tank arranged thereunder. The filtering structure has a tank communicating with a nominally vertical column, partly in the upper part of which is arranged the hydraulic part. The electrical part is arranged above the level of the water to be treated and is contained in the nominally horizontal access passageway, while the hydraulic part is immersed in a volume of filtered water.

  • Publication number: 20040256300
    Abstract: The invention concerns a filtering structure designed to be incorporated in one of the nominally vertical walls of a swimming pool, and having means for filtering and means for pumping, the means for pumping having an electrical part, including an electric motor, and a hydraulic part equipped with a turbine, the structure comprising a suction port facing towards a nominally horizontal access passageway partly submerged in water, and emerging towards a nominally vertical tank arranged thereunder and wherein are arranged the means for filtering, the tank communicating with a nominally vertical column, partly in the upper part of which is arranged the hydraulic part of the means for pumping. The electrical part is arranged above the level of the water to be treated contained in the nominally horizontal access passageway, while the hydraulic part is immersed in a volume of filtered water.
