Publication number: 20230277413Abstract: A pool or spa system includes networked pool or spa devices that can be dynamically configured with network addresses by a controller. The controller can transmit a device discovery request on a network and can receive a discovery response from pool or spa devices that require a network address. The system determines and assigns the network addresses for the pool or spa devices based on unique device identifiers associated with the responding pool or spa devices. The network addresses assigned to the pool or spa device are transmitted to the pool or spa device to be used by the pool or spa devices to communicate with the controller over the network. The system can be used to discover and assign addresses to various types of pool or spa devices, such as pumps, underwater lights, chlorinators, water feature controllers, remote controllers, and/or other types of devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Applicant: Hayward Industries, Inc.Inventors: David M. Blaine, Kenneth W. White, JR., Craig Andrew Horrocks, James Murdock, Douglas M. Sawyer, JR., Carl Brunetti, Robert Donald Heon, Linnette Rivera

Publication number: 20070233420Abstract: A programmable aerator cooling system for pools or spas is provided. The system selectively operates one or more aerator jets in a pool or spa to cool water in the pool or spa to a desired temperature. The system includes a microprocessor-based controller connected to a valve actuator for selectively actuating the one or more aerator jets, and one or more sensors. The sensors could include a water temperature sensor, and optionally, an ambient air temperature sensor and an ambient humidity sensor. The controller includes a user interface for allowing a user to interact with one or more stored control programs for controlling the water temperature of a pool or spa. Based on pool water and ambient conditions, the controller can activate the one or more aerators during optimal ambient conditions to cool the pool water.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2007Publication date: October 4, 2007Inventors: Kevin Potucek, Carl Brunetti, Gilbert Conover
