Full Text	The invention relates to the technical field, of filtration systems for swimming pools. More specifically, the invention relates to the compact Water filtration units used in swimming pools. These units comprise, in a known way, a "filtration" compartment and a "pumping" compartment. The filtration compartment is designed to be submerged in the water of the swimming pool. This compartment houses one or more filtration means of any appropriate known type. The pumping compartment is situated on the outside of the swimming pool. It is usually buried, and has one or more pumps for sucking the water in and returning it, as indicated in the rest of this description. The pumping and filtration compartments are connected by a common part which usually straddles the walls of the swimming pool, whatever its specific design. This part of the overall filtration unit has the shape, very approximately, of an upside-down staple. Examples of this type of filtration unit can be found in the teachings, of patents FR 97.01642, FR 98.03790 and FR 99.12856. In essence, the filtration mesns, whatever its particular design, is connected, by pipe elements, to the pump or pumps installed in the pumping compartment . More particularly, these pipe elements are connected to the suction intake of the pump. Other pipe elements are connected to the pump's return outlet. where the filtered water is returned tc the swimming pool by means of for example nozzles on a part of the filtration compartment. Clearly, the suction and return pipe systems are made up of several elements connected by elbows or the like - 2 - to form the connection between the riltration compartment and the suction compartment. For reasons of ease of installation and to keep costs down, these pipe elements are of round section and advantageously made of PVC, conforming with standard components as widely available in the trade. Specifically, the use of this kind of round-section pipe element keeps tests down and enables different types of connection to be made. Because of the need to make a circuit to carry the water between the filtration compartment and pumping compartment. the suction and return pipes are also present in the common connecting part between the two compertments. In this area the suction and return pipes are usually placed side by side in a horizontal plane. As a result, these rouno-section pipes occupy a certain height, so that the common connecting part appears above the edge of the swimming pool. The same is also true of the filtration and pumping compertments. In other words, the filtration unit, as a whole, in the prior art, inust project high enough to allow the suction and return pipes to pass across. This excess height is not always very appealing to the eye and can interfere with the integration of the complete filtration unit in the. coping and areas around the pool. It is an object of the invention to solve these problems in a simple, safe, effective and efficient manner. The problem which the invention seeks to solve is how to minimise the height. of the connecting part between the filtration and pumping compartments, in such a way that the filtration unit as a whole hardly shows above the surrounding areas for example, while not increasing production costs, in other words keeping open the - 3 - possibility of making the suction and return circuits largely from round-section pipe elements of the type commonly used in the trade. To solve this kind of problem, a device for connecting suction and return pipes, particularly between two compartments of a filtration unit, has been designed and developed, the said device comprising a module of thin flat cross section defining at least one open-ended internal conduit, the said conduit or conduits having membars for watertight connection with flat-section connectors, the said connectors being fixed to the suction and return pipes, and the said module being arranged between the two compartments, at the common linking part. Advantageously, in response to the problem of how to separate the suction and return circuits, the module defines, in section, two separate internal conduits, each conduit having the members for connection to the flat-section connectors, for the connection to the suction and return pipes positioned in the filtration and pumping compartments. To solve the problem of how to connect the module as a whole to the suction and return pipes, the connecting members of the module are flat, especially rectangular, section adaptors an communication with the conduits. Advantageously, the flat-section connectors are made integral, directly or by being connected, with round-section adaptors able to be connected by watertight engagement with the pipe elements of complementary section. To solve the problem of how to facilitate the installing and connection of the various suction and return pipes, without increasing costs, the module is an independent add-on element fixed in a watertight - 4 - manner to the common connecting part, between the two compartments. Advantageausly, the module has in section a profile able to fit in a complementary profile serving as a bearing cradle. formed in the thickness of the common connecting part. In one particular embodiment of the whole filtration unit, the module and the two compartments are connected together by a common linking frame fitted with covers for closing each of the said compartments. The invention is set out below in greater detail with the aid of the figures of the attached drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a perspective view of all the elements of the connection device; Figure 2 is a transverse cross section on the plane marked 2-2 in Figure 1; Figure 3 is a cross section on the plane marked 3-3 in figure 1, following connection of the corresponding pipe parts; Figure 4 is a longitudinal cross section through an example of an embodiment of a compact filtration unit equipped with the device; Figure 5 is a transverse cross section on the plane marked 5-5 in Figure 4; and Figure 6 is a diagrammatic perspective view of an example of the application of the connection device to a compact filtration unit. As will be fully familiar to those skilled in the art, this type of filtration unit essentially comprises a compartment (A) submerged in the water and known as the "filtration compartment", and a compartment (B) , situatad on the outside of the swimming pool and generally known as the "pumping compartment". The two compartments (A) and (B) are connected together by a - 5 - common connecting part (C) to form a single block. The pumping compartment (B) is usually designed to be buried in the ground. The filtration compartment (A) comprises, as is known very well, one or more filtration means (F), which may take various forms. The pumping compartment (B) houses one or more pumps (P) for sucking the water out of the swimming pool, it having passed en route through one or more filters (F) , and returning the filtered water to the swimming pool, by means of, for example, a return nozzle (R). The swimming pool water suction and return circuit, in combination with the filtration in and pumping (P) means, essentially follows a suction pipe (1) connected to the pump (P) suction intake, and a return pipe (2) connected to the pump (P) return outlet. The pipes (1) and (2) are largely made up of round-section elements of the type widely sold in the trade and their diameter is determined as a function of the flowrate. According to the invention, the problem addressed by the invention, as indicated, is haw to minimize the height of the common connecting part (C) between the compartments (A) and (B), emphasizing that this common connecting part (C) usually has, either directly or by an attachment, members (3) for the watertight separation of the two compartments (A) and (B) , notably in order to avoid any risk of the water filling the filtration compartment and spilling over into the pumping compartment. Such members are thoroughly familiar to those skilled in the art, as can be seen for example by the teaching of the patents cited earlier. Given this configuration, therefore, it can be seen that the sucticn (1) and return (2) pipes are constructed in the form of two parts or assemblies (la, - 6 - 1b) and (2a, 2b). Part (la) of the suction pipe is situated in the filtration compartment, while part (1b) is situated in the pumping compartment . In the same way, part (2a) of the return pipe is situated in the filtration compartment, while part (2b) is situated in the pumping compartment, It is important therefore to connect up the two parts (la) and (lb) on the one hand, and (2a) and (2b) on the other, as they negotiate the members (3), within the smallest height possible, as indicated. According to the invention, the device for connecting the suction (la, 1b) and return (2a, 2b) conduit parts has connecting members than are thinner than the diameter of the various pipe elements (1) and (2). In a preferred embodiment, the connecting device, denoted as a whole by (4) comprises a module of flat transverse section, with a thickness (e) that is less than the diameter (d) of the component elements of the pipes (1) and (2). This module is hollow and defines, in section, at least one, but preferably two internal and separate conduits (4a) and (4b). On either side of the body Of the module (4), the conduits (4a) and (4b) have membecs (4c) aud (4d) for watertight connection to the flat-section connectors (5) . The conriectors (5) are fixed in a watertight manner, by any appropriate known means, to the parts (1a) and (1b) of the suction pipe and to the parts (2a) and (2b) of the return pipe. The members (4c) and (4d) of the module (4) are flat, especially rectangular; section adaptors in communication with the conduits (4a) and (4b), and on which the complementary-section connectors (5) can be engaged. Advantageously, the flat-section connectors (5) are made integral, directly or by being connected, with - 7 - round-section adaptors (5a) able to be connected by watertight engagement with the corresponding parts of the pipes (la, 1b) and (2a, 2b) (Figure 1). The module (9) is an independent add-on element fixed in a watertight manner in the common connecting part (C) between the two compartments (A) and (B). More specifically, the module (4) has in section a profile able to fit in a complementary profile (3a) serving as a bearing cradle formed in the thickness of a watertight separating partition (3). It may be fixed, for example, by means of screws (6) in combination with a seal (7) placed in the bottom of the bearing cradle Note that in one particular embodiment of the filtration unit, the module (4) and the two compartments (A) and (B) are connected together by a common linking frame (net shown) fitted with covers for closing each of the said compartments. Because the connecting module (A) and the corresponding connectors (5) are so low, it is possible to minimize the height of the common linking part (C) , in such a way that the complete filtration unit, once installed in a straddling position sitting on the corresponding edge of the swimming pool, rises above it by only a small height which is at the very most less than the height generally accepted when using round-section piping through the common linking part. Clearly, the dimensions of the connecting adaptors (4c) and of the corresponding connectors (5) are suitably for the desired flowrate. As a guide, if using 75-mm diameter pipe elements, the connecting adaptors (4c) and (4d) and the connectors (5) may have a thickness of approximately 25 rum while pointing out that this thickness may be further reduced if the width is increased in order to give an equivalent cross section - 8 - so as to suit the flowrate. The Advantages will be obvious front the description. - 9 - We claim :- 1, Device tor connecting pipes (1) and (2) between two compartments of a filtration unit for the water of a swimming pool comprising a compartment (A) submerged in the water and equipped with as least one filtration means and a compartment (B) situated outside of the swimming pool and equipped wire st least one suction and return pump, the said conpartments (A) and (B) being connected by a common part (C) that straddles the walls of the swimming pool, the filtration means and pump or pumps being connected in combination with the suction (1) and recurn (2) pipe elements, which have one part (la) - (2a) situated on the filtration compartment (A) side and one part (1b-2b) situated on the pumping compartment (B) side, characterissd in that it comprises at the common linking part (C), a watertight connecting module (4) between the auction (la, 1D) and return (2a, 2b) conduit parts, whose thickness is less than the diameter of the various pipe elements (1) and (2). 2.

pumping compartment is situated on the outside of the

as indicated in the rest of this description. The
pumping and filtration compartments are connected by a
common part which usually straddles the walls of the
swimming pool, whatever its specific design. This part
of the overall filtration unit has the shape, very
approximately, of an upside-down staple. Examples of
this type of filtration unit can be found in the
teachings, of patents FR 97.01642, FR 98.03790 and FR
99.12856.
In essence, the filtration mesns, whatever its
particular design, is connected, by pipe elements, to
the pump or pumps installed in the pumping compartment .
More particularly, these pipe elements are connected to
the suction intake of the pump. Other pipe elements are
connected to the pump's return outlet. where the
filtered water is returned tc the swimming pool by
means of for example nozzles on a part of the
filtration compartment.
Clearly, the suction and return pipe systems are made
up of several elements connected by elbows or the like
- 2 -

to form the connection between the riltration
compartment and the suction compartment. For reasons of
ease of installation and to keep costs down, these pipe
elements are of round section and advantageously made
of PVC, conforming with standard components as widely
available in the trade. Specifically, the use of this
kind of round-section pipe element keeps tests down and
enables different types of connection to be made.
Because of the need to make a circuit to carry the
water between the filtration compartment and pumping
compartment. the suction and return pipes are also
present in the common connecting part between the two
compertments. In this area the suction and return pipes
are usually placed side by side in a horizontal plane.
As a result, these rouno-section pipes occupy a certain
height, so that the common connecting part appears
above the edge of the swimming pool. The same is also
true of the filtration and pumping compertments.
In other words, the filtration unit, as a whole, in the
prior art, inust project high enough to allow the
suction and return pipes to pass across. This excess
height is not always very appealing to the eye and can
interfere with the integration of the complete
filtration unit in the. coping and areas around the
pool.
It is an object of the invention to solve these
problems in a simple, safe, effective and efficient
manner.
The problem which the invention seeks to solve is how
to minimise the height. of the connecting part between
the filtration and pumping compartments, in such a way
that the filtration unit as a whole hardly shows above
the surrounding areas for example, while not increasing
production costs, in other words keeping open the
- 3 -

possibility of making the suction and return circuits
largely from round-section pipe elements of the type
commonly used in the trade.
To solve this kind of problem, a device for connecting
suction and return pipes, particularly between two
compartments of a filtration unit, has been designed
and developed, the said device comprising a module of
thin flat cross section defining at least one
open-ended internal conduit, the said conduit or
conduits having membars for watertight connection with
flat-section connectors, the said connectors being
fixed to the suction and return pipes, and the said
module being arranged between the two compartments, at
the common linking part.
Advantageously, in response to the problem of how to
separate the suction and return circuits, the module
defines, in section, two separate internal conduits,
each conduit having the members for connection to the
flat-section connectors, for the connection to the
suction and return pipes positioned in the filtration
and pumping compartments.
To solve the problem of how to connect the module as a
whole to the suction and return pipes, the connecting
members of the module are flat, especially rectangular,
section adaptors an communication with the conduits.
Advantageously, the flat-section connectors are made
integral, directly or by being connected, with
round-section adaptors able to be connected by
watertight engagement with the pipe elements of
complementary section.
To solve the problem of how to facilitate the
installing and connection of the various suction and
return pipes, without increasing costs, the module is
an independent add-on element fixed in a watertight
- 4 -

manner to the common connecting part, between the two
compartments.
Advantageausly, the module has in section a profile
able to fit in a complementary profile serving as a
bearing cradle. formed in the thickness of the common
connecting part.
In one particular embodiment of the whole filtration
unit, the module and the two compartments are connected
together by a common linking frame fitted with covers
for closing each of the said compartments.
The invention is set out below in greater detail with
the aid of the figures of the attached drawings, in
which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of all the elements
of the connection device;
Figure 2 is a transverse cross section on the
plane marked 2-2 in Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a cross section on the plane marked
3-3 in figure 1, following connection of the
corresponding pipe parts;

an example of an embodiment of a compact filtration
unit equipped with the device;
Figure 5 is a transverse cross section on the
plane marked 5-5 in Figure 4; and
Figure 6 is a diagrammatic perspective view of an
example of the application of the connection device to
a compact filtration unit.
As will be fully familiar to those skilled in the art,
this type of filtration unit essentially comprises a
compartment (A) submerged in the water and known as the
"filtration compartment", and a compartment (B) ,
situatad on the outside of the swimming pool and
generally known as the "pumping compartment". The two
compartments (A) and (B) are connected together by a
- 5 -

common connecting part (C) to form a single block. The
pumping compartment (B) is usually designed to be
buried in the ground.
The filtration compartment (A) comprises, as is known
very well, one or more filtration means (F), which may
take various forms. The pumping compartment (B) houses
one or more pumps (P) for sucking the water out of the
swimming pool, it having passed en route through one or
more filters (F) , and returning the filtered water to
the swimming pool, by means of, for example, a return
nozzle (R).
The swimming pool water suction and return circuit, in
combination with the filtration in and pumping (P)
means, essentially follows a suction pipe (1) connected
to the pump (P) suction intake, and a return pipe (2)
connected to the pump (P) return outlet. The pipes (1)
and (2) are largely made up of round-section elements
of the type widely sold in the trade and their diameter
is determined as a function of the flowrate.
According to the invention, the problem addressed by
the invention, as indicated, is haw to minimize the
height of the common connecting part (C) between the
compartments (A) and (B), emphasizing that this common
connecting part (C) usually has, either directly or by
an attachment, members (3) for the watertight
separation of the two compartments (A) and (B) , notably
in order to avoid any risk of the water filling the
filtration compartment and spilling over into the
pumping compartment. Such members are thoroughly
familiar to those skilled in the art, as can be seen
for example by the teaching of the patents cited
earlier.
Given this configuration, therefore, it can be seen
that the sucticn (1) and return (2) pipes are
constructed in the form of two parts or assemblies (la,
- 6 -

1b) and (2a, 2b). Part (la) of the suction pipe is
situated in the filtration compartment, while part (1b)
is situated in the pumping compartment . In the same
way, part (2a) of the return pipe is situated in the
filtration compartment, while part (2b) is situated in
the pumping compartment,
It is important therefore to connect up the two parts
(la) and (lb) on the one hand, and (2a) and (2b) on the
other, as they negotiate the members (3), within the
smallest height possible, as indicated.
According to the invention, the device for connecting
the suction (la, 1b) and return (2a, 2b) conduit parts
has connecting members than are thinner than the
diameter of the various pipe elements (1) and (2).
In a preferred embodiment, the connecting device,
denoted as a whole by (4) comprises a module of flat
transverse section, with a thickness (e) that is less
than the diameter (d) of the component elements of the
pipes (1) and (2). This module is hollow and defines,
in section, at least one, but preferably two internal
and separate conduits (4a) and (4b). On either side of
the body Of the module (4), the conduits (4a) and (4b)
have membecs (4c) aud (4d) for watertight connection to
the flat-section connectors (5) . The conriectors (5) are
fixed in a watertight manner, by any appropriate known
means, to the parts (1a) and (1b) of the suction pipe
and to the parts (2a) and (2b) of the return pipe.
The members (4c) and (4d) of the module (4) are flat,
especially rectangular; section adaptors in
communication with the conduits (4a) and (4b), and on
which the complementary-section connectors (5) can be
engaged.
Advantageously, the flat-section connectors (5) are
made integral, directly or by being connected, with
- 7 -

round-section adaptors (5a) able to be connected by
watertight engagement with the corresponding parts of
the pipes (la, 1b) and (2a, 2b) (Figure 1).
The module (9) is an independent add-on element fixed
in a watertight manner in the common connecting part
(C) between the two compartments (A) and (B). More
specifically, the module (4) has in section a profile
able to fit in a complementary profile (3a) serving as
a bearing cradle formed in the thickness of a
watertight separating partition (3). It may be fixed,
for example, by means of screws (6) in combination with
a seal (7) placed in the bottom of the bearing cradle
Note that in one particular embodiment of the
filtration unit, the module (4) and the two
compartments (A) and (B) are connected together by a
common linking frame (net shown) fitted with covers for
closing each of the said compartments.
Because the connecting module (A) and the corresponding
connectors (5) are so low, it is possible to minimize
the height of the common linking part (C) , in such a
way that the complete filtration unit, once installed
in a straddling position sitting on the corresponding
edge of the swimming pool, rises above it by only a
small height which is at the very most less than the
height generally accepted when using round-section
piping through the common linking part.
Clearly, the dimensions of the connecting adaptors (4c)
and of the corresponding connectors (5) are suitably
for the desired flowrate. As a guide, if using 75-mm
diameter pipe elements, the connecting adaptors (4c)
and (4d) and the connectors (5) may have a thickness of
approximately 25 rum while pointing out that this
thickness may be further reduced if the width is
increased in order to give an equivalent cross section
- 8 -

so as to suit the flowrate.
The Advantages will be obvious front the description.
