Abstract:
1. An apparatus for cleaning above and within an aqueous body, comprising: a fluid inlet receiving a pressurized cleaning fluid from a pressurized fluid source; a drain conduit receiving waste fluid from said aqueous body and discharging said waste fluid externally therefrom; a tank flush source conduit coupled with said fluid inlet and operative to conduct said pressurized cleaning fluid from a tank flush source conduit inlet adjacent to said fluid inlet to a tank flush source conduit outlet distal to said fluid inlet and within said aqueous body; and a siphon return conduit concentrically arranged about said tank flush source conduit for conducting said waste fluid from a siphon return conduit inlet opening within and generally surrounded by said waste fluid in said aqueous body to a siphon return conduit outlet adjacent to said drain conduit, said tank flush source conduit outlet protruding from said siphon return conduit inlet and conducting said pressurized cleaning fluid into said aqueous body simultaneously with said siphon return conduit inlet conducting said waste fluid out of said aqueous body, wherein said tank flush source conduit is the most protrusive structure of said cleaning apparatus into said aqueous body during said conducting of fluid.
