It relates to balance tanks used in systems; specifically, balance tanks and It refers to a filter device placed between the pump suction line. 10 The invention involves removing leaves, strands of hair, and similar objects found in the water of a balance tank. Check valve and pump prevent foreign matter from entering the pump line. preventing clogging in the components, thus ensuring the system operates safely and efficiently. It refers to a filter device that enables its operation. 15 State of the Art: In conventional pool circulation systems, water overflowing from the pool surface is channeled through the structure. It flows through channels around it to a balance tank (reserve or rest tank 20 The water is directed to a reservoir. In this reservoir, the water is left to stand for a while to remove heavy particles. It is allowed to settle and then transferred to the suction line to be conveyed to the pump group. It is taken. In current systems, fine or light particles that cannot settle in the balance tank are 25 (for example, hair strands, leaf fragments, hair, fibers, plastic debris, etc.) into the suction line They can mix and these substances are used to prevent backflow in the system. This can cause blockages in check valves. If the check valve is blocked, the pump will supply sufficient water (30) while the system is operating. It can be damaged if it cannot be pulled; however, when the system is closed, the check valve fails to perform its function. 2 Because it cannot reach the pool, the water flows in the opposite direction into the balance tank, and This situation causes the pool water level to drop and results in water loss. In the literature and in the market, a direct connection between the balance tank and the pump suction line is commonly used. 5 a structural filter apparatus placed in a way that performs a systematic filtering function This is not the case. Filtering is usually done at a different point in the system (for example (sand filters, cartridge filters and the like) are manufactured, and these types of filters are pumped. It is located on the lines after the group. However, failure to protect the system before the check valve can lead to blockage and backflow. This can lead to serious malfunctions and systemic efficiency losses, such as these problems. is happening.
