Benefits of technology

The invention is a device that allows chemicals to be mixed with water in a bowl. The bowl is designed so that water can flow over the chemicals as they dissolve, resulting in a gradual decrease in size until they drop through a screen and join the water flow. This gradual mixing process prevents wasted or sludge buildup. The device is designed to be efficient and effective in mixing chemicals with water.

Problems solved by technology

Chemical distribution systems that mix chemicals into the water often struggle with sludge buildup as the solid chemicals are dissolved.
However, the tablets still can create sludge over time.
These are often complicated systems which fail in ways that can render the pool unusable for days while the correct balance is restored.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]As represented in the figures, the invention is a Swimming Pool Chemical Mixer (“Mixer”) 11, in which swimming pool water circulates from a swimming pool through an Inlet Pipe 11 and into an Induction Tank 21 where the water dissolves Calcium Hypochlorite Tablets 47, and then leaves the Tank 21 through an Outlet Pipe 27 as it is circulates back into the swimming pool.

[0019]While in operation, water flow through the Mixer 11 is controlled automatically by a Flow Valve 51, which is attached to a Float 53. When the water level in the Tank 21 lowers, the Float 53 also lowers, and eventually causes the Flow Valve 51 to open. As water flows into the Tank 11, the Float 53 rises and closes the Flow Valve 51.

[0020]As currently configured, the Mixer 11 includes other optional water flow controls, including an Inlet Valve 25 that is in the Inlet Pipe 23, and an Outlet Valve 29 that is in the Outlet Pipe 27. Water flowing through the Inlet Pipe 23 into the Tank 21 is under pressure from a...

Abstract

The invention is a Swimming Pool Chemical Mixer in which swimming pool water circulates from a swimming pool into an induction tank which contains calcium hypochlorite tablets. The tablets dissolve while sitting on a tray positioned just under the water level in the tank. The tank's tray has holes it that are sized to allow the calcium hypochlorite tablets to proceed past the tray and back into the swimming pool when they have sufficiently dissolved, leaving the tank through a gravity-fed outlet pipe affixed to the tank at one end, with the other end of the outlet pipe affixed to the recirculation pipes leading back to the swimming pool.

CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]None.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT[0002]None.THE NAMES OF THE PARTIES TO A JOINT RESEARCH AGREEMENT[0003]None.INCORPORATION-BY-REFERENCE OF MATERIAL SUBMITTED ON A COMPACT DISC[0004]None.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0005]1. Field of the Invention[0006]Swimming pool chemical mixing devices.[0007]2. Background Art[0008]Granular chemicals such as soda ash and calcium hypochlorite are mixed to the water in swimming pools to control biological growth of algae and adjust water pH, among other reasons. These chemicals are sometimes distributed by hand directly into a pool, but for large or commercial pools, more automated and reproducible methods are helpful.[0009]The added chlorine creates a buffer retarding the growth of algae and other biological growth, causing the biomass to settle out of the water as sediment. Swimming pool water is filtered multiple times a day to keep the water clean.[0010]Chemical dist...
