Abstract: A system and a method for performing an automated winterization process for a swimming pool or spa are provided. A temperature sensor collects a sensed temperature value, which is transmitted and processed by a control system of a connected aquatic system. Based on the sensed temperature value, the swimming pool or spa control system executes the automated winterization process for the swimming pool or spa. The automated winterization process includes displacing water with air using an air-moving device in a first loop path and a second loop path using one or more actuated automatic valves.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling a variable speed blower of a gas-fired heater associated with a swimming pool or spa are provided. A gas heater may include an air-fuel mixture chamber and a circuit. The circuit may be configured to receive a signal to initiate heating water and output a first control signal that operates a variable speed blower associated with the gas heater at a first rate of speed for a first time duration during ignition of the gas heater. The variable speed blower draws air into the air-fuel mixture chamber where the air is combined with gas fuel to ignite the air and the gas fuel to heat the water. The circuit may also be configured to output a second control signal that operates the variable speed blower at a second rate of speed after the first time duration has expired and after the gas heater is ignited.

Abstract: A system and a method are provided for controlling one or more pool devices. An example system for controlling the pool device may include a receiver designed to receive information from at least one mobile application of a mobile device, wherein the information is associated with a swimming pool from one or more mobile applications. The system may further include a controller in communication with the receiver and the at least one pool device associated with the swimming pool, wherein the controller is designed to determine a schedule of a user based at least in part on the information and receive a signal indicating a status of the pool device, and determine an action associated with the pool device based at least in part on the status of the pool device and the schedule of the user.
