Abstract: A pool or spa control system includes a sensor system with one or more sensors in contact with a main body of water. The sensor system measures water condition data of the body of water and is mounted on a wall submerged in the main body of water. The pool or spa control system also includes a modem that facilitates data communications between the sensor system and communication equipment positioned at a different location from the main body of water.

Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to devices, apparatuses, systems, and methods for sharing operational parameters for operational control of a pool or spa. In an example, a process may include accessing a set of operational parameters, detecting proximity of a user device with respect to a pool system, and responsive to detecting the proximity of the user device, sending the set of operational parameters to the user device.

Abstract: A bypass mechanism for automatic swimming pool cleaners (APCs) is detailed herein. The bypass mechanism may be a valve or other mechanical device that limits operation of the APC by diverting water away from the APC or otherwise ceasing operation of the APC after a predetermined period of time (e.g., after the desired run-time for the APC has been reached). In this way, the bypass mechanism limits the time the APC operates, even if the pump that otherwise would drive the APC remains energized.

Abstract: "Just in time" operational techniques allow equipment of swimming pools or spas to achieve identified water temperatures at specified times. A user may supply information such as a desired water temperature ( i.e. a temperature set point) and a time at which the water is desired to be at the desired temperature. After receiving the user-supplied information, software may account as well for certain environmental conditions to devise a suitable schedule for controlling heating of the water of the swimming pool or spa. Adjustments may be made to the schedule based on then-current water temperatures or other changed conditions.

Abstract: Filter assemblies are described which may be rolled for use and unrolled for cleaning. Rolling an assembly (10) may form a spiral path for fluid to flow. Fluid also may flow through mesh panels (14) of the assembly unless such panels are obstructed, as by debris.

Abstract: Lighting assemblies principally for swimming pools and spas may produce ultraviolet (UV) radiation (i.e. black light). They also may supply visible light if desired. The assemblies may be submerged within pools or spas or located externally thereof, and the light sources may be controlled either collectively or individually.

Abstract: Detailed are valve assemblies (112) principally for use as part of in-floor cleaning systems for swimming pools. The assemblies use mechanisms for converting continuous rotation into discontinuous rotation, changing the timing of water distribution to different outlet of the assemblies. One such mechanism includes both an impeller (140), whose blades (180) are rotated continuously by impingement of pressurized water, and a Geneva drive (160), whose driven wheel (196) is rotated discontinuously by one or more associated drive wheels (184).

Abstract: Techniques and methods for wirelessly communicating underwater with automatic swimming pool cleaners (APCs) by sound signals. Such communication avoids any need for conventional wired communication with the APCs.

Abstract: Systems and methods of detecting when an automatic swimming pool cleaner (APC) has contacted a main drain cover or other object protruding from a surface of a swimming pool are described. An APC may include equipment for detecting a change in its pitch or yaw (or both its pitch and yaw). Changes in pitch and yaw may be determined as a function of time, identifying encounters of the APC with certain protruding objects.

Abstract: A bonding lug assembly includes a bonding lug and a set screw. The bonding lug includes a body that defines a first channel and a second channel. The first channel defines a first conductor path extending in a first direction, and the second channel defines a second conductor path extending in a second direction that is different from the first direction. The set screw is configured to selectively engage the bonding lug and retain a bonding conductor within at least one of the first channel or the second channel.
