Benefits of technology
[0002]By practicing the method of the invention, a hot tub or pool owner can reduce or eliminate the recurring expenses associated with the proper maintenance of the water filtration system. By placing a sieve made up of a mesh cloth over the intake port to the filter system, the maintenance expenses incurred by the hot tub or pool owner will be reduced. The maintenance cost will be reduced by extending the service life of a disposable filter, or by decreasing the instances of service necessary to maintain the filtration system. The reduced instances of service will also result in the reduction in the use of the chemicals necessary to clean the filtration system, further reducing the owner's maintenance expense. In addition, the service life of the entire filtration system will be extended by reducing the overall burden on the filtration system.
Problems solved by technology
Proper maintenance of water quality places a recurring maintenance expense on the hot tub or pool owner.
The maintenance expense arises from either replacing the filter; instances of service to replace reusable filters and maintain the filtration system; and the chemicals necessary to clean the filter and filtration system.

Embodiment Construction
[0009]Hot tubs and pools are subject to constant contamination from foreign matter brought into the water by the bathers, wind and articles used in the vicinity of the hot tub or pool. Thus a properly maintained filtration system is necessary to insure water quality for a pleasant and inviting appearance, as well as for hygiene and safety. The maintenance of the filtration system represents a recurring expense paid by the owner. This maintenance expense can be reduced by decreasing the instances of service required to maintain the filtration system, or by extending the service life of a disposable filter or a reusable filter, or by eliminating the need for a filter.
[0010]Filtration is a mechanical process of removing insoluble foreign matter from the water by capturing the insoluble matter within the filter media. Over time the insoluble matter builds up within the filter. The build up reduces the filter's capability to remove additional foreign matter from the water, necessitating ...

Abstract
The specification relates to a method that will reduce the associated maintenance expenses of a hot tub or pool filtration system, extend the service life of disposable hot tub and pool filters, and extend the service life of a hot tub or pool filtration system by placing a mesh cloth over the intake port to the hot tub or pool filtration system.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention concerns water filtration for hot tubs and pools. Filtration of hot tub and pool water is necessary to maintain water clarity for appearance, as well as to maintain proper hygiene and safety. Proper maintenance of water quality places a recurring maintenance expense on the hot tub or pool owner. The maintenance expense arises from either replacing the filter; instances of service to replace reusable filters and maintain the filtration system; and the chemicals necessary to clean the filter and filtration system. This maintenance expense can be reduced or eliminated by practicing the method of the invention described herein.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0002]By practicing the method of the invention, a hot tub or pool owner can reduce or eliminate the recurring expenses associated with the proper maintenance of the water filtration system. By placing a sieve made up of a mesh cloth over the intake port to the filter system, the maintenance e...
