  • Filter element for swimming pool cleaner
    Patent number: 6627074
    Abstract: A filter element for a swimming pool cleaner includes a pair of pouches which are received within cavities defined within the pool cleaner housing. The outer edges of the filter element are attached to corresponding edges of the housing by releasable clips. Water is drawn through apertures in the bottom of the cleaner through the filter element and into a motor driven pump, with large debris remaining in the pouches and particles entrained in the pool water being caught by the filter element.

  • Filtering system for swimming pool
    Patent number: 6572765
    Abstract: A filtering system for swimming pools includes a cylindrical filter housing in which a filter bag is supported in a perforated liner. A skimmer housing is mounted on the cylindrical housing and skims water off of the surface of the pool, which communicates to the inlet chamber through a perforated skimmer basket which catches debris floating on the surface of the pool water. The main drain of the pool is connected directly to the inlet chamber. An outlet of the cylindrical housing communicates directly with the inlet port of a pump that returns filtered water to the pool.
