  • HYBRID HEATER FOR POOLS AND SPAS
    Publication number: 20230213238
    Abstract: A swimming pool or spa may include hybrid heater. The hybrid heater includes an enclosure, a first heat source within the enclosure, and a second heat source within the enclosure. The first heat source may include an electric heater. A method of heating a swimming pool or spa using the hybrid heater includes receiving information about a desired temperature of the pool, determining an operating mode of the hybrid heater based on the received information, and controlling the hybrid heater pursuant to the determined operating mode.

  • Integrated Anode For A Heat Exchanger
    Publication number: 20230084544
    Abstract: A water heater can include a heat source and a heat exchanger that transfers heat to the water. A header attached to the heat exchanger provides an inlet and an outlet for water to flow into and out of the heat exchanger. The header can also include an anode assembly that releasably attaches to the header. The anode assembly can be located at a bottom of the header so that an anode in the anode assembly remains in contact with the water when water is flowing through the heat exchanger.

  • Systems And Methods For Managing Bodies Of Water
    Publication number: 20220136270
    Abstract: A managed water system can include a first body of water contained in a vessel. The managed water system can also include at least one sensor device that measures at least one parameter associated with the first body of water. The managed water system can further include a circulation system that circulates the body of water relative to the vessel. The managed water system can also include a controller communicably coupled to the at least one sensor device and the circulation system. The controller can control the circulation system, and receive measurements of the at least one parameter made by the at least one sensor device. The controller can also evaluate the measurements using multiple algorithms, and communicate a result of evaluating the measurements.
