Patent ID: 8516624

Claim:
Artificial surfing facility for producing a standing wave, comprising: a main pool, a wave pool, a inclined ramp, a lower end of which discharges into the wave pool, a flow section connected at an outlet end thereof to an upper end of the ramp, at least one pump connected to an inlet end of the flow section by means of which water is conveyed from the main pool to the flow section, at least one adjustable guide device in the wave pool at a distance downstream from the lower end of the ramp, wherein the wave pool is positioned above the main pool, wherein the at least one pump unit, during operation, being adapted to produce a liquid level in the wave pool sufficient to produce a defined resistance to water flowing down the ramp which will enable formation of the standing wave at the at least one adjustable guide device by a change of the flow velocity of the water, and an overflow via which water is able to flow back from the wave pool into the main pool, the overflow being provided with an adjusting mechanism that enables the water level in the wave pool to be regulated in a manner enabling, in a resting state, retaining of a total amount of water to fill the main pool and wave pool to a level sufficient to provide said defined resistance upon commencement of operation.
