A portable cleaning device for removing sediment from an enclosure
retaining water. The cleaning device includes a pump, a housing, and a
receptacle. The pump creates a fluid flow through the cleaning device.
The cleaning device draws water from the enclosure into the housing
through a tube. The housing includes an inlet passage and an outlet
passage defined within the housing. The fluid flow path through the
cleaning device is at least partially defined by the inlet passage, the
receptacle and the outlet passage. The inlet passage receives the fluid
flow from the tube and empties the fluid flow into the receptacle. The
outlet passage receives fluid flow out of the receptacle. A filter is
connected to the outlet passage and prevents relatively large particles
in the water from entering the outlet passage. The fluid flow proceeds
from the outlet passage toward the pump through an outlet tube.
