Abstract

A rigid primary conduit directs fluid into an arcuate manifold. The arcuate manifold includes a concave surface having a plurality of spray nozzles directed into the manifold in fluid communication with the primary conduit to direct individual spray applications about the surface of an associated pool filter to enhance cleaning thereof.

Claims

1. A pool filter spray head apparatus, comprising,

a rigid primary conduit, having a conduit first end, with the first end including a coupling mounted thereon, wherein the rigid primary conduit includes a second end, and

an arcuate manifold in fluid communication with the rigid primary conduit through the second end, and

the arcuate manifold having a concave coextensive surface and the concave coextensive surface includes a semi-annular array of nozzles spaced an equal distance relative to one another along the concave surface, and

each of the nozzles are spaced from the concave surface about a manifold coupling, and

a plurality of arcuate tubular segments receive the arcuate manifold therethrough, and

each of the arcuate tubular segments are pivotally mounted relative to one another.

2. An apparatus as set forth in claim 1 wherein each of the tubular segments includes a tubular segment concave surface, and each tubular segment concave surface includes one of said nozzles directed medially thereof.

3. An apparatus as set forth in claim 2 wherein each of the tubular segments includes a segment first end and a segment second end, each segment first end includes a first end aperture in communication with an internally threaded tube positioned within each segment, each segment second end includes a first plate member and a second plate member extending longitudinally beyond said segment second end, and said first plate member includes a fastener directed therethrough, and the fastener is arranged for reception within the internally threaded tube of an adjacent one of said tubular segments.
