    Abstract: Systems, units and methods for monitoring water of at least one swimming pool (SP) by: obtaining non-manipulation data of the SP water or one or more samples thereof before/without applying any manipulation to water of the SP sample(s) thereof; applying at least one manipulation over the SP water or one or more samples thereof; obtaining manipulation data of the SP water indicative of responsivity of the SP water or one or more samples thereof to each manipulation applied thereto, using one or more sensors; and analyzing the non-manipulation and manipulation data to determine one or more characteristics of the SP water including for example concentration of one or more substances in the SP water. In some embodiments, at least one manipulation may include dechlorination of the SP water.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for estimating water turbidity using image data, comprising analyzing a plurality of images of one or more objects submerged in water captured under water from a plurality of distances, calculating a luma value for each of a plurality of pixels along one or more gradient lines across the object(s) in each of the plurality of images, calculating, for each image, a respective maximal intensity change between a lowest luma value and a highest luma value of the pixels along the gradient line(s) in the respective image, evaluating a turbidity of the water based on mapping of the respective maximal intensity change to each of the plurality of distances, and initiating one or more actions in case the turbidity exceeds a certain threshold.

    Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatuses using: (i) a flow control unit including: piping inlets and outlets for connecting thereby to different parts located at different locations of a water facility (WF) and of the apparatuses themselves and multiple controllable valves, each being deployed at a different inlet or outlet of the multiple piping inlets and outlets; (ii) a detection unit including at least one sensor for sensing characteristics of the WF in various locations and/or states of the WF; and a controller, configured to control operation of the valves, for measuring one or more characteristics of a selected detection location or state of the WF or of water manipulated within the apparatuses. The methods, systems and apparatuses may further be configured to apply manipulations over a water sample, sampled from the WF and/or over water from the WF and measure responses to the applied manipulation(s).
