BYPASS SYSTEM TO CONTROL LIQUID VOLUME
The present invention relates a novel bypass system to control liquid volume. More particularly, the invention relates to a system for use in the control and regulation of pumps, pumping installations and/or systems, and the control of fluid flow in general. This system will find particular, though not exclusive, application with bathing vessels such as pools, whirlpools, bathtubs, hot tubs and spas.
1 . A bypass volume control system for use with a fluid enclosure,
wherein said system comprises a pump, a main piping system and at least one parallel piping system; and
wherein the parallel piping system includes at least one control valve at a junction of the main and parallel piping system.
2 . A bypass volume control system as defined in claim 1 , wherein said control valve is controlled manually or electrically, or through the use of an automated or computerized system.
3 . A bypass volume control system as defined in claim 2 , wherein said pump comprises a water-cooled motor that is less noisy than traditional motors.
4 . A bypass volume control system as defined in claim 3 , which is used in a bathing vessel.
5 . A bypass volume control system as defined in claim 4 , wherein said bathing vessel is a pool, whirlpool, bath, spa or hot tub.
6 . A bypass volume control system for use with a fluid enclosure,
wherein said system comprises a pump, a main piping system and at least one parallel piping system;
wherein the parallel piping system includes at least one control valve at a junction of the main and parallel piping systems;
wherein an additional plumbing connection joins the parallel piping system to the fluid enclosure; and
wherein the additional plumbing connection further includes a valve.
7 . A bypass volume control system as defined in claim 6 , wherein said control valve is controlled manually or electrically, or through the use of an automated or computerized system.
8 . A bypass volume control system as defined in claim 7 , wherein said pump comprises a water-cooled motor that is less noisy than traditional motors.
9 . A bypass volume control system as defined in claim 8 , which is used in a bathing vessel.
10 . A bypass volume control system as defined in claim 9 , wherein said bathing vessel is a pool, whirlpool, bath, spa or hot tub.
11 . A bypass volume control system for use with a fluid enclosure,
wherein said system comprises a pump, a main piping system and at least one parallel piping system;
wherein the parallel piping system includes at least one control valve at a junction of the main and parallel piping systems;
wherein an additional plumbing connection joins the parallel piping system to the fluid enclosure; and
wherein the additional plumbing connection further includes a valve located at the intersection of the additional plumbing connection and the parallel piping system.
12 . A bypass volume control system as defined in claim 11 , wherein said control valve is controlled manually or electrically, or through the use of an automated or computerized system.
13 . A bypass volume control system as defined in claim 12 , wherein said pump comprises a water-cooled motor that is less noisy than traditional motors.
14 . A bypass volume control system as defined in claim 13 , which is used in a bathing vessel.
15 . A bypass volume control system as defined in claim 14 , wherein said bathing vessel is a pool, whirlpool, bath, spa or hot tub.
16 . A bypass volume control system for use with a fluid enclosure,
wherein said system comprises a pump, a main piping system and at least one parallel piping system;
wherein an additional plumbing connection joins the parallel piping system to the fluid enclosure; and
wherein the additional plumbing connection also includes a valve at the intersection.
17 . A bypass volume control system as defined in claim 16 , wherein said control valve is controlled manually or electrically, or through the use of an automated or computerized system.
18 . A bypass volume control system as defined in claim 17 , wherein said pump comprises a water-cooled motor that is less noisy than traditional motors.
19 . A bypass volume control system as defined in claim 18 , which is used in a bathing vessel.
20 . A bypass volume control system as defined in claim 19 , wherein said bathing vessel is a pool, whirlpool, bath, spa or hot tub.
