20120234744 | FILTRATION SYSTEM - A filtration system for a container, such as a fish pond, can include mechanical and biological filtering in a self-contained apparatus for attachment to a submersible centrifugal pump. The filtration system includes a base assembly, to which at least one mechanical filter can be attached, and which can accommodate biological media such as Bio-Balls. The mechanical filters can be a foam material, cylindrically shaped and detachable from a lid portion of the base for easy access without disturbing the biological media. A fountain sprayer mechanism, controlled by a two-way control valve, can optionally be used to provide a decorative effect. The filtration system and pump are easily separated when the pump requires maintenance without disturbing the natural ecosystem. By connecting two or more base assemblies in series, via a base coupling mechanism, the user can achieve increased filtering without the necessity to purchase and install additional pumps. | 09-20-2012 |
20110000838 | CLEANING SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CLEANING CONTAINERS HAVING NON-VERTICAL SIDEWALLS - The present invention is directed towards devices combining swimming pool skimmers, pumps, and removable, disposable filters into integral, sidewall-mounted systems for above-ground pools and other above-ground liquid containment enclosures, and methods for the use of such systems to remove both larger floating debris and smaller particulate matter to maintain water clarity and hygienic safety within such pools or like liquid containment enclosures. Specifically, the present invention is a ring-type above-ground pool comprising a base, a sidewall, and at least a portion of a cleaning system solely supported by the sidewall and mounted at a non-vertical angle such that it is substantially parallel to the sidewall. | 01-06-2011 |
20080216877 | CLEANING SYSTEM FOR ABOVE-GROUND CONTAINER AND METHODS THEREOF - The present invention is directed towards devices combining swimming pool skimmers, pumps, and removable, disposable filters into integral, sidewall-mounted systems for above-ground pools and other above-ground liquid containment enclosures, and methods for the use of such systems to remove both larger floating debris and smaller particulate matter to maintain water clarity and hygienic safety within such pools or like liquid containment enclosures. The present invention is an above-ground pool comprising a base, a side wall, and at least a portion of a cleaning system solely supported by the side wall. | 09-11-2008 |
