Abstract: One feature of the present invention provides a method for optimizing water filtration in a closed body of water. The method includes circulating the water through a closed loop filtration system to remove contaminates, where a pump forces the water from the closed body of water through plumbing to a filter; measuring a clarity of the water passing through the plumbing using one or more sensors connected to the plumbing; providing an output of the one or more sensors to a system controller operatively coupled to a motor of the pump, via a motor controller for comparing the measured water clarity to a desired water clarity to determine an optimal filter rate and time to achieve the desired water clarity; and providing power to the motor, via the motor controller, driving the motor to operate the pump at the optimal filter rate and time.
