Abstract: A system and method for monitoring and controlling power for connected aquatic devices includes a power module designed to generate power and transmit the energy to an energy storage module. A controller can be connected to one or more pool components of a connected aquatic system and one or more peripheral devices connected to the pool components. The system can receive and process requests from the pool components and peripheral devices, including low-power notifications, to provide the energy stored in the energy storage module.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for filter detection are provided. A filter detection system includes a filter for a pump, the filter having a filter element, and an identification element associated with the filter. A controller is designed to detect the identification element, determine a filter characteristic based on the identification element, determine a remaining lifetime period of the filter element based on the filter characteristic and a runtime of the pump, and provide an alert indicating the remaining lifetime period of the filter element.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for filter detection are provided. The filter detection system includes a filter provided in the form of a filter element, a housing surrounding the filter element, and an identification element. A controller is designed to detect the identification element, determine a filter characteristic based on the identification element, determine a remaining lifetime period of the filter element based on the filter characteristic, and provide an alert indicating the remaining lifetime period of the filter element.

Abstract: A heater for a pool or a spa is provided. The heater is provided in the form of a housing with an outlet disposed in the housing. The outlet is in fluid communication with the pool or spa. The heater also includes a first dosing mechanism that is designed to meter an amount of a waste condensate generated by the heater to the pool or spa. The waste condensate, by virtue of being imparted with an acidic pH, alters the pH value of water in the pool or spa. The heater is also in electrical communication with a controller. The controller is designed to control the first dosing mechanism such that the first dosing mechanism can provide at least a portion of the waste condensate to the pool or spa.

Abstract: A connected aquatic equipment system is provided. The connected system includes system components, such as pool equipment, which can be automatically detected and configured based on identification elements and operating parameters of the pool components. The connected system can update the configuration settings of the pool components based on the addition of new pool components. The connected system is also designed to monitor and update the operating parameters of the pool components based, at least in part, on the status and performance of other pool components of the system.

Abstract: A laminar device is provided. The laminar device includes a collar, an arm lid plate, a first bracket, a second bracket, and a laminar body. The arm lid plate is rotatably enclosed in the collar. The first bracket is opposite the second bracket and extends downwardly in a same direction from the arm lid plate. The laminar body is rotatably coupled to the first bracket and the second bracket and rotates and tilts to create one or more water features.
