Description

An apparatus (10) for removing standing water from the hydraulic plumbing system that circulates water in a whirlpool bath. The apparatus includes a pneumatic pump (50) fluidlly coupled to the whirlpool hydraulic plumbing system of a whirlpool bathtub (20), such that air pressure from the pneumatic pump can be used to flush standing water out of the hydraulic plumbing system after each use. A pneumatic plumbing system connecting the pneumatic pump to the hydraulic plumbing system is positioned substantially above maximum water level allowed in the tub and also substantially above the hydraulic plumbing system. The pneumatic plumbing system is connected in fluid communication with different portions of the hydraulic plumbing system, such that activation of the pneumatic pump (after the tub has been substantially drained) forces residual water from the whirlpool hydraulic plumbing system into the bathtub, where it can be conventionally drained.

Dispositif (10) servant à supprimer l'eau résiduelle du système de canalisation hydraulique mettant l'eau en circulation dans un bain bouillonnant. Ce dispositif comprend une pompe pneumatique (50) reliée au système de canalisation hydraulique du bain bouillonnant (20), de façon à utiliser la pression de l'air provenant de la pompe pneumatique pour évacuer l'eau du système de canalisation après chaque utilisation. Un système de canalisation pneumatique reliant la pompe pneumatique au système de canalisation hydraulique est placé au-dessus du niveau d'eau maximum autorisé dans la baignoire et également au-dessus du système de canalisation hydraulique. Le système de canalisation pneumatique communique avec différentes parties du système de canalisation hydraulique, de sorte que la mise en service de la pompe pneumatique (après la vidange de la baignoire) fait pénétrer l'eau résiduelle du système de canalisation hydraulique du bain bouillonnant dans la baignoire, dans laquelle cette eau résiduelle peut être drainée de manière habituelle.
