Benefits of technology

[0013]Another object of the present invention is to provide for a novel delivery system in the form of a safe container for storage, shipment and introduction of water chemicals that both simple and safe.

Problems solved by technology

This is practical from the stand point of large industrial and public treatment facilities, but the necessary capital investment for such equipment makes it impractical for a home pool, spa, hot tub or small cooling tower.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]As indicated in FIG. 1, a typical swimming pool comprises a pool 10, which has a drain 11 and sump 12 at the bottom of the pool, and a skimmer 14, which carries away overflow and collects floating debris, a strainer 15 at the inlet to a pump 16, a filter 17, a water main 18, a source of fresh water, a system outlet 19 and a pool inlet 20. Pipes 21-30 and valves 31-36 connect all of the aforesaid elements.

[0023]In normal operation water is taken from the pool through the skimmer 14, the pipe 21, the valve 31, pipes 22 and 23, strainer 15, pump 16, pipe 24, valve 32, pipe 25, filter 17, pipe 26, valve 33 and pipe 27, back to the pool inlet 20. Valve 34 allows water to be recirculated in whole or in part from the bottom drain 11 and valve 35 allows water to be gravity dumped through pipe 29 to the system outlet 19. Valve 36 connects the main 18 to replenish through pipes 28 and 23. The valves 32 and 33 may be turned to backwash the filter 17 via pipe 30. The skimmer 14 is arrange...

Abstract

The present invention relates to swimming pools and other pools of standing water, and in particular to a dispensing unit that distributes a desired chemical solution that maintains the desired water chemistry of the pool or spa, the chemical solution being color coded with a water soluble colorant or dye which serves as an indicia to the pool or spa owner of the depletion of the chemical solution from the dispensing unit and the need for replacement.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to swimming pools and other pools of standing water, and in particular to a dispensing unit that distributes a chemical water treatment solution, the solution including a color coded organic or inorganic dye to assist in determining when the solution has been fully dispensed and the dispensing unit requires replacement.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]This invention relates to water quality, and more particularly to methods and apparatus for feeding controlled amounts of chemical solutions into swimming pools, hot tubs, spas, cooling towers and other standing water ponds, the particular chemical solution being dispensed to maintain or improve water quality.[0005]In home swimming pools and in newly popular hot tubs, spas, and other water pools, it is almost always necessary to filter and recirculate the water and to add certain chemicals, such as organic flocculating agents, which ...
