    Abstract: An automatic pool/spa cleaner with a wall docking feature is provided. The cleaner includes a housing, a removable debris canister, a plurality of traction wheels, and an exhaust port. After completion of a cleaning cycle, the cleaner travels upward along a wall of the pool or spa to a position where at least a portion of the canister is positioned above the water line of the pool or spa, and remains in that position in order to allow an operator to detach and empty the debris canister without requiring the cleaner to be removed from the pool or spa. A cable retention system also provides for automatic supply, tensioning, and reeling in a of power and/or communications cable associated with the cleaner. A “touch-free” debris basket allows for insertion/removal of a debris basket through a passageway of the cable retention system.

  • Publication number: 20240401793
    Abstract: An underwater light having a replaceable light-emitting diode (LED) module and cord assembly is provided. The underwater light includes a lens, a bezel, a screw, a cable attachment assembly, a mounting flange, a rear housing, a fastening assembly, an internal lens, a printed circuit board (PCB) including light-emitting diodes (LEDs) mounted thereon, a heat sink, and an electronics assembly. The assembly of the underwater light provides for the dissipation of heat away from the PCB thereby cooling the LEDs and electronic components mounted thereon. The electrically non-conductive nature of the exterior components of the underwater light permit the underwater light to be installed in any location in a pool or spa. Since the exterior of the underwater light is electrically non-conductive, no specific bonding or grounding of the underwater light is necessary.
