Heat snorkel

Abstract

The Original Heat Snorkel, Heat Snorkel Pro and Heat Snorkel Tube are swimming pool components that when used together, in conjunction with a swimming pool heater, have a primary function of heating a swimming pool's water at a faster, more efficient rate than previously realized. In addition, there are several other uses including the ability to rotate the return jet 360° and lock it in place, slow algae growth, improve circulation of chemicals when maintaining a pool, cooling the pool water through evaporative cooling, heated body massages, an exit ramp for any animal/critter who may become trapped in the pool, and a valuable winterization tool.

1 . By injecting heated swimming pool water closer to the bottom layers of the pool, the Original Heat Snorkel, the Heat Snorkel Pro, and the Heat Snorkel Tube will dramatically reduce the use of propane gas and natural gas in gas pool heaters, reduce electricity use when using electric heat pump pool heaters, and extend the invested cost of the fuel and electricity required to run a pool pump heater to heat a swimming pools water to a designated temperature. Currently, the standard design of a swimming pools circulation system includes injecting water through the pools return jets 8″-10″ below the surface of the water, allowing thermal energy to rise up and out into the air above the pool. By injecting the heated water down close to the bottom of the pool, the heated water then has the ability to permeate more thoroughly into the entire body of cold water in the pool at a faster rate, than if the water was injected closer to the pools surface. 
       There are several other claims for the Heat Snorkel, Heat Snorkel Pro, and Heat Snorkel Tube including: 
     
     
         2 . the ability to rotate the swimming pool return jet 360° and lock it in place, 
     
     
         3 . slow algae growth on the floor of the swimming pool, 
     
     
         4 . improve circulation of chemicals when maintaining a swimming pool, 
     
     
         5 . cooling the pool water through evaporative cooling, 
     
     
         6 . heated body massages, 
     
     
         7 . an exit ramp for any animal/critter who may become trapped in the swimming pool, 
     
     
         8 . and a valuable winterization tool. 
       All of these claims are discussed in the “Detailed Description Of The Invention” above. 
     
     
         9 . When using the Heat Snorkel Pro with velocity control, it will provide water movement and circulation at the bottom layers of the pool, as well as the upper layers of the pool, simultaneously.
