Gravitational bouyancy filter for a swimming pool

Abstract

A floating water jet for spraying chlorinated water at water surface of a pool is disclosed herein. The floating water jet includes a cylindrical body having a closed end and an open end, an internal wall within the cylindrical body defining a sealed air chamber within the cylindrical body adjacent the closed end, the sealed chamber providing buoyancy to the cylindrical body such that the cylindrical body floats on the water surface of the pool with a longitudinal axis of the cylindrical body being parallel to the water surface. An internal chamber is provided within the cylindrical body between the open end and the internal wall for receiving the chlorinated water. An end wall is sealed to the open end, the end wall including a central inlet opening adapted for connection to an outlet end of a floating pool hose, and a plurality of outlet openings in the end wall arranged concentrically about the central opening. Chlorinated water from the pool hose is directed into the internal chamber via the central inlet opening and exits the internal chamber via the plurality of outlet openings to direct jets of the chlorinated water in a direction parallel to the water surface. The floating pool hose, a filter attached around a circumference of the pool hose, together with the pool jet, for establishing the system as a gravitational buoyancy filter.
