AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLED SYSTEM FOR MAINTAINING A SWIMMING POOL

摘要

This invention relates to an electronically controlled system for maintaining a swimming pool. The system includes regulating means for regulating the flow of water through selected conduits of a filtration system associated with the swimming pool. The regulating means includes rotatable selector means (32) arranged in association with a valve housing (11) having a number of inlet and outlet ports; biasing means (37) for biasing the selector means (32) into a seated position in the valve housing (11); and motorized means (39) operatively associated with the selector means (32) and adapted to rotate the selector means while it is in the seated position in the valve housing (11). The system further includes control means (50) for automatically controlling the regulating means in a predetermined manner wherein the control means includes a microprocessor. In addition, the system includes at least one sensor means for sensing at least one adjustable variable of the swimming pool water, the sensor means being connected to the control means (50), and adjustment means for adjusting such variable in response to a signal relayed from the sensor means to the control means (50).
