Abstract
The assignee for this patent application is Zodiac Pool Care Europe (Belberaud, France). Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Numerous cleaning devices capable of autonomous movement with in swimming pools and spas currently exist. The most common of these devices are APCs, which often are either hydraulic or robotic in type. Hydraulic cleaners v ary water flow for movement, while robotic cleaners typically employ electric mo tors to cause motion. Hydraulic APCs, furthermore, subdivide into “pressure-side ” and “suction-side” cleaners, with pressure-side cleaners being fluidly connect ed to outputs of pumps of pool water circulation systems and suction-side cleane rs being fluidly connected to inputs of such pumps.”
