  • Publication number: 20230400445
    Abstract: A water quality monitor for a swimming pool is disclosed. The water quality monitor has a base having a first end and a second end, a removable cover coupled to and enclosing the first end of the base, a flow cell jar extending from the second end of the base, and a sensor probe connected to the second end of the base and extending downwardly into the flow cell jar. The sensor probe is configured to measure a plurality of water quality parameters. The monitor further includes a debris filter provided in a fluid flow path between an inlet and a first side of the base, and a controller configured to provide a connection between the water quality monitor and a cloud storage system using a wireless network. The measured plurality of water quality parameters are transmitted through the wireless network to the cloud storage system.

  • Patent number: 11754545
    Abstract: A water quality monitor system comprising a base having a first end and a second end is disclosed. A cover is removably coupled to the first end of the base such that the cover surrounds and covers the first end of the base. A flow cell jar is connected to the second end of the base. A sensor probe is connected to the second end of the base and extends downward into the flow cell jar. The sensor probe is configured to measure a plurality of water quality parameters. The base includes an inlet and an outlet connected to opposing ends of the base and connected in-line to the plumbing of a pool recirculation system. A controller is configured to provide a connection between the water quality monitor and a cloud-based storage system, using a wireless network. The measured water quality parameters are transmitted to the cloud storage system.

  • Publication number: 20200095792
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a pool cleaner including a housing, a cavity defined within the housing, and a removable debris container received within the cavity. The pool cleaner includes a modular components that may be individually accessed and/or removed for servicing or replacement without disturbing other system components. The pool cleaner can include electronics modularly housed in an electronics housing. The pool cleaner can include a modular drive system for moving the pool cleaner, and a modular hydraulic system that draws water and debris into the housing, and discharges filtered water, providing thrust to the pool cleaner. Also, scrubbers individually coupled to the housing can include helical vanes configured to guide debris into a debris inlet of the pool cleaner.
