Abstract: A system for an aquatic application is provided in the form of a pump, a filtration system, a container, and a controller. The container is arranged to be in fluid communication with the filtration system and retains a chemical cleaning agent. The valve is positioned to be in fluid communication with the container and the filtration system. The controller is in communication with the valve. The controller is designed to determine a first permeability value associated with the filtration system at a first time period and initiates a cleaning procedure by providing the chemical cleaning agent to the filtration system when the first permeability value is below a permeability threshold value.

Abstract: A hybrid filter assembly for an aquatic application is provided in the form of a vessel, a first filtration stage, a second filtration stage, a bypass assembly, and a controller. The vessel includes a first port which receives fluid from the aquatic application. The first filtration stage and the second filtration stage are retained in the vessel. The first filtration stage is designed to filter particles imparted with a first size, while the second filtration stage is designed to filter particles imparted with a second size. The bypass assembly is in fluid communication with a second port the vessel. The controller is in communication with the bypass assembly, and the controller actuates the bypass assembly to alter an operational state of the hybrid filter assembly.

Abstract: A method of operating a filtration system including a hybrid filter assembly is provided. The method includes the steps of providing a pump that is in fluid communication with a pool or a spa, providing a hybrid filter assembly including a filtration module, providing a chemical cleaning system including a container configured to retain a chemical cleaning agent in which the container is in fluid communication with the hybrid filter assembly, and providing a controller in communication with the hybrid filter assembly and the chemical cleaning system. The method also includes the steps of determining via the controller an operational efficiency of the filtration module at a predetermined interval of time and initiating via the controller a chemical cleaning mode to clean the hybrid filter assembly.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring and controlling power for connected aquatic devices are provided. The system includes a power module designed to generate power and transmit the energy to an energy storage module. A controller can be connected to one or more pool components of a connected aquatic system and one or more peripheral devices connected to the pool components. The system can receive and process requests from the pool components and peripheral devices, including low-power notifications, to provide the energy stored in the energy storage module.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for bather load detection are provided. In one instance, a method for determining bather load in a pool comprises calculating a first permeability of a membrane filter at a first period of time by measuring a pressure differential across a membrane filter located in the pool, measuring a flow rate of pool water through the fluid circuit formed by the pool, determining a volume of the membrane, calculating a second permeability of a membrane filter at a second period of time, calculating a difference between the first permeability and the second permeability, and determining a bather load based on the calculated difference between the first permeability and the second permeability.

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.
