Pool perimeter and water agitator system and assembly

1. An agitator system for a diving station configured for connection to a pool perimeter assembly that includes a return conduit for receiving pressurized water, the return conduit having at least one return outlet, the agitator system for directing water flow from the perimeter of a pool onto a water surface of the pool, comprising:

at least one spray port on the pool perimeter assembly and configured for directing a water spray onto the water surface of the pool; and

a fluid delivery structure in downstream fluid communication from the return conduit and in upstream fluid communication with the spray port;

wherein a first portion of the pressurized water in the return conduit is communicated to the spray port via the fluid delivery structure, and a second portion of the pressurized water is delivered to the return outlet for dispersing to the pool.

2. An agitator system according to claim 1 , wherein the fluid delivery structure includes a valve in downstream fluid communication with the return conduit and in upstream fluid communication with the spray port.

3. An agitator system according to claim 2 , wherein the pool perimeter assembly further comprises a drainage grate and the valve is attached to the grate.

4. An agitator system according to claim 1 , wherein the pool perimeter assembly further comprises a gutter conduit and the fluid delivery structure is located in the gutter conduit.

5. An agitator system according to claim 3 , wherein the spray port includes a through-bore in the grate.

6. An agitator system according to claim 5 , wherein the spray port includes a nozzle disposed within the through-bore in the grate.

7. An agitator system according to claim 1 wherein the spray port is adjacent to the diving station and oriented to direct the first portion of the pressurized water to the pool water surface in front of the diving station.

8. An agitator system according to claim 1 wherein the diving station comprises multiple diving stations, and wherein the fluid delivery structure comprises multiple fluid delivery structures, wherein a fluid delivery structure is associated with each of the diving stations.

9. An agitator system of claim 1 wherein the diving station comprises multiple diving stations, and wherein the at least one spray port comprises multiple spray ports, wherein at least one of the multiple spray ports is associated with each of the diving stations.

10. A pool perimeter assembly connected to a pool filtration system and being adjacent to a pool having a water surface, the pool perimeter assembly comprising:

a return conduit in fluid communication with the pool filtration system for receiving filtered water under pressure, the return conduit having at least one return outlet for dispersing the filtered water to the pool;

a gutter conduit adjacent the return conduit, wherein the gutter conduit is in fluid communication to deliver water to the filtration system;

a pool agitator assembly disposed in the gutter conduit, the pool agitator assembly having a spray port and a fluid delivery structure in downstream fluid communication from the return conduit and in upstream fluid communication from the spray port, the spray port emitting a spray of filtered water onto the water surface of the pool.

11. A pool perimeter assembly according to claim 10 , further comprising a grate positioned over the top of the gutter conduit to direct water flow into the gutter conduit.

12. A pool perimeter assembly according to claim 11 , wherein the fluid delivery structure further comprises a valve attached to the grate.

13. A pool perimeter assembly according to claim 11 , wherein the spray port is in the grate and the fluid delivery structure comprises a fitting attached to the interior surface of the grate, the fitting communicating water to the spray port.

14. A pool perimeter assembly according to claim 11 , wherein the spray port is defined by a through-bore in the grate.

15. A pool perimeter assembly according to claim 10 , wherein the spray port is at an angle from the horizontal of 10 to 40-degrees.

16. A pool perimeter assembly according to claim 10 , wherein the spray port further comprises a nozzle.

17. A pool perimeter assembly according to claim 10 , further comprising an exhaust conduit configured for receiving contaminated air.

18. A pool perimeter assembly according to claim 10 wherein the return conduit extends between a pool-facing sidewall and a first interior side wall.

19. A pool perimeter assembly according to claim 18 wherein the gutter conduit is coextensive with the return conduit and fluidly sealed from the return conduit, the gutter conduit extending between the first interior sidewall and a second interior sidewall.

20. A method of agitating the water surface of a pool, the pool having a pool filtration system and a return conduit along a perimeter of the pool, the method comprising:

conveying pressurized water from the pool filtration system to the return conduit;

drawing off a portion of the pressurized water from the return conduit;

conveying the portion of the pressurized water to a spray port disposed adjacent the perimeter of the pool; and

spraying the pressurized water onto the surface of the pool.
