SYSTEM FOR TURNING OFF POWER TO POOL EQUIPMENT UPON THE DETECTION OF A DROP IN WATER LEVEL

摘要

Some embodiments of the present invention include a concealed system for preventing water being supplied into a pool upon a detection of a predetermined drop in water level in the pool. The system may include a controller capable of detecting the predetermined drop in water level, the controller being configured to interrupt a circuit that provides power to a pool pump and a water supply valve upon detection of the drop in water level. The predetermined drop in water level may correspond to the drop of the water level from an acceptable range to an unacceptable range, the acceptable range having a greater depth than the unacceptable range. The float switch may be situated within a water leveler container, which may be positioned within a pool deck so as to be concealed from view.

主权项

1. A system for deactivating a circuit providing power to pool equipment upon detection of a drop in water level of a pool from an acceptable water level to an unacceptable water level, the system comprising:
a controller electrically connected to the pool equipment, the controller detecting whether the water level falls within a first depth range or a second depth range, wherein the controller deactivates the circuit that provides power to the pool equipment when the water level falls within a second depth range, wherein:
the first depth range corresponds to the acceptable water level and the second depth range corresponds to the unacceptable water level;the acceptable water level has a greater depth than the unacceptable water level; andwhen the circuit is deactivated, water is prevented from being pumped out of the pool by the pool equipment.
