  • Patent number: 11427484
    Abstract: A salt water chlorinator assembly along a closed loop water circuit incorporates a chlorinator cell subassembly and a flow switch subassembly into respective fluidly connected chlorinator assembly housing interior portions. The chlorinator cell subassembly includes an electrolysis cell controlled by a chlorinator printed circuit board. The flow switch subassembly includes a flow sensor mounted upon a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA). A flow switch cable selectively attaches to a PCBA connector. Water flow rate data generated by the flow switch sensor, communicated via an external controller to a smart circulation pump, is used to enable automatic adjustment of the pump speed based upon the flow rate data. The external controller may further alert an end user of undesirable flow rate deviations due to a condition (e.g. a clogged pump/skimmer basket and/or dirty filter) along the closed loop circuit requiring attention.

  • Patent number: 10801225
    Abstract: A pool maintenance system for maintaining desired characteristics of a body of water in fluid communication therewith, includes a chlorine generator having an integral power supply input, a water circulation pump in fluid communication with the body of water and with the chlorine generator via a series of water conduits, and a heat pump in fluid communication the water circulation pump. The water circulation pump and/or the heat pump incorporate an integral power supply/transformer functioning as a single shared power source communicatively integrating the chlorine generator with the respective water circulation pump and/or heat pump. A wired and/or wireless interface is provided electrically connected to the power supply and transformer integrated with the respective water circulation pump and or heat pump.
