Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device and a method for its operation for cleaning a pool and a bathing water therein.
  • pools filled with bath water are known, in which the bath water is used several times and by different people.
  • These pools include the pools of swimming pools, indoor pools, whirl pools, medical pools or of tanks for meditation purposes, which are called Samadi or Lilly tanks.
  • the user of these baths does not know the condition of the water.
  • the bath water may be contaminated with viruses (e.g. AIDS) and bacteria in addition to other contaminants.
  • viruses e.g. AIDS
  • the admixture of chemical substances such as Chlorine for bathing water can only be used to a very limited extent with regard to users.
  • a sufficient amount of a chemical agent for the sterilization of bath water causes skin and eye irritation for the users.
  • the object of the present invention is to find a device which enables sterilizing cleaning of a basin and a bathing water therein without the addition of chemical substances to the bathing water and without the use of additional storage containers by carrying out a simple process and which is economically advantageous.
  • the task is solved by a tightly attached in the area of the water level on the wall of the basin, dividing the basin into two rooms and at least one of these spaces on the top and bottom of the film connecting with each other during cleaning, with a Pump equipped hydraulic connection, wherein a filter device is provided which is effective at least when the bath water flows from the top to the bottom of the film and a flow sterilizer is installed in the hydraulic connection which is prepared for at least one flow direction of the bath water.
  • the bath water can be freed of dirt particles, viruses and bacteria by pumping over the filter device and the flow sterilizer.
  • the film forms in the same pool between used and cleaned Bath water a separation layer. Additional storage containers are therefore not required.
  • At least one closable, flexible gas line is provided which opens into the space lying on the underside of the film and is attached at least with its opening area to the underside of the film.
  • This gas line e.g. Air is blown under the film floating on the surface of the bathing water.
  • the top of the film, which is curved by inflation, can be sterilized more easily.
  • the film can be preformed to the shape of the pool. Such a preformed film hardly needs to be stretched when it is turned inside out, which allows the use of a relatively little stretchable, elastic material.
  • the thickness of the film is advantageously between 0.1 and 1 mm.
  • the film can have an elongation factor between 0 and 2.
  • a UV light sterilizer can be connected downstream of the continuous sterilizer.
  • the cover is preferably equipped with at least one spray nozzle provided for guiding the chemical agent used to sterilize the top of the film and rinsing water, the space on the top of the film having at least one closable drain opening. This measure enables a fully automatic sterilization of the top of the film in basins closed at the top.
  • the method for cleaning the pool and a bathing water lying therein is that the used up bathing water lying on the top of the film is suctioned off and after flowing through at least the filter device is pumped onto the underside of the film, then the top of the film free of the bathing water and the protruding wall parts of the basin are sterilized and rinsed with chemical agents, after which the sterile bath water passed through the continuous sterilizer is pumped back onto the sterile top of the film.
  • the one lying between the underside of the film and the basin is preferred
  • the room was sterilized before the basin was put into operation for the first time and the used bath water sucked from the top of the film was pumped to this room via the continuous sterilizer.
  • the bath water can be heated to at least 55 ° C in the flow sterilizer and then cooled to a bath water temperature. This temperature is sufficient to destroy many bacteria and viruses.
  • the film is advantageously inflated with a gas introduced between the bath water level and the underside of the film during the sterilization of its upper side.
  • the film can lie on the surface of the bathing water and cover it.
  • the film protects the bathing water against the ingress of contaminants and against evaporation.
  • the bathing water can be pumped from the underside of the film to the sterile top of the film after flowing through the instantaneous water heater set to a bathing temperature.
  • the pool 1 shown schematically in Fig. 1 is provided with a cover 2 and filled with bathing water 3.
  • an elastic film 4 is tightly attached to the wall of the pool 1. This film 4 lies against the inside of the basin 1 and in this position only fulfills the function of a lining.
  • the film 4 is advantageously made of rubber or a synthetic material such as latex.
  • the basin 1 shown here belongs to a so-called Samadi or Lilly tank.
  • the bath water contains 3 salt, its temperature being set at around 37 ° C.
  • the person 5 can lie in this tank in the bathing water and meditate or observe texts and / or images on a screen (not shown) attached to the cover 2.
  • the bathing water 3 can already be contaminated by one person.
  • the elastic film 4 divides the basin 1 into two rooms 6, 7.
  • One room 6 is on the top and the other room 7 on the bottom of the film 4.
  • These two rooms 6 and 7 can be brought into hydraulic connection with one another during cleaning will.
  • this passes through a coarse filter 8, a fine filter 9 with a filter area over 20 to 50 microns, a continuous sterilizer 10, a UV light sterilizer 11, a continuous heater 12 and coming from the room 6 a pump 13 and enters space 7, on the underside of film 4.
  • the film 4 is inflated as shown in FIG. 3.
  • a gas line 14 is provided which opens into the space 7 lying on the underside of the film 4 and is attached at least with its mouth region to the underside of the film 4.
  • the air pump 15 blows air into the space 7 through this gas line 14.
  • the air line 14 is closed by the valve 16.
  • the elastic film 4 is preformed onto the shape of the basin 1, an upturning of the film 4 that is achievable by inflation is sufficient to achieve an advantageous shape for cleaning the top of the film 4.
  • Such a preformed film is stretched very little or not at all when the cover is turned inside out. In this case, the film 4 does not have to be stretchable, only elastic. An elongation factor of at most 2 is required for non-preformed, tensioned films.
  • the thickness of the film 4 is between 0.1 and 1 mm.
  • the film 4 can be held in a groove 17 provided in the wall of the basin 1 by means of a ring 18 pressed into the groove 17, as shown in FIG. 6.
  • This FIG. 6 is an enlarged representation of the point designated in FIG. 5 with a dashed circle.
  • the cover 2 which is also shown in FIG. 3, is equipped with a plurality of spray nozzles 19 provided for spraying out a chemical agent for sterilizing the top of the film 4 and with rinsing water.
  • the chemical agent is mixed with the tap water in the container 20 and led to the nozzles 19 in the channels 21.
  • the tap water mixed with the sterilizing agent flows out of the space 6 located on the top of the film 4 through the drain opening 22.
  • fresh tap water is fed via the line 23 to the nozzles 19, which rinses out the chemical agent from the sterilized room 6.
  • the residual water in the grooves lying around the film 4 can be kept small by suitable positioning of the drain opening 22.
  • the device shown in various positions in FIGS. 1 to 5 can be operated using the following method:
  • the bathing water 3 After the person 5 in FIG. 1 has gotten out, used, possibly contaminated bathing water 3 lies on the top of the film 4. This bathing water 3 is sucked off by the pump 3 after the valves 24 and 25 have been opened, as is shown schematically in FIG. 2.
  • the bathing water 3 first flows through the coarse filter 8 and the fine filter 9, where the solid dirt particles remain.
  • the bathing water 3 then reaches the flow sterilizer 10.
  • the flow sterilizer 10 is commercially available and is used, for example, to milk milk.
  • the bathing water 3 is briefly heated to at least 55 ° C. in the flow sterilizer 10 and subsequently cooled to the bathing temperature by 37 ° C. AIDS viruses are killed at 54 ° C, other viruses and bacteria also die at this temperature.
  • the subsequent UV light sterilizer 11 to be passed through the bath water is also commercially available, for example from "Schwimmbad +roy AG" in Zurich.
  • the bath water is sterilized in a different way than in the continuous sterilizer 10.
  • the combination of these two devices guarantees complete sterilization of the bath water 3.
  • the space 7 lying between the underside of the film 4 and the basin 1 has already been created sterilized the first time the facility was started up.
  • the air pump 15 is started and, after the valve 16 has been opened, the film 4 is inflated, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the top of the inflated film 4 is then sterilized by a chemical agent flowing out of the spray nozzles 19.
  • the rinsing water then flowing out of the spray nozzles 19 flushes away the chemical agent through the drain opening 22.
  • the air is let out of the space 7 through the valve 26 when the valve 16 is closed.
  • the film reaches the position shown in Fig. 4. In this position, the film 4 can remain until the next use.
  • the pump 13 conveys the bathing water 3 from the room 7 first through the continuous-flow heater 12, in which the bathing water 3 is brought to the bathing temperature of approximately 37 ° C.
  • the subsequent passage of the bathing water 3 through the UV light sterilizer 11 and the pass-through sterilizer 10 sterilizes the bathing water 3 again.
  • the bath water heated and sterilized in this way reaches the room 6 via the valves 27 and 28 and through the pipeline in between on the top of the film 4.
  • the sterile bath water is ready for use and after closing the valves 27, 28 the state shown in FIG. 1 is reached again.
