Pumping System with Power Optimization

摘要

The present invention provides a pumping system for moving water of a swimming pool, including a water pump and a variable speed motor. In one example, a target volume amount of water and an operational time period is provided, and the operational time period is altered based upon a volume of water moved. In another example, operation of the motor is altered based upon the volume of water moved. In addition or alternatively, a target flow rate of water to be moved by the water pump is determined based upon the target volume amount and a time period. In addition or alternatively, a plurality of operations are performed on the water, and a total volume of water moved by the pump is determined. In addition or alternatively, an optimized flow rate value is determined based upon power consumption.

主权项

1. A pumping system for at least one aquatic application, the at least one aquatic application including a pool, the pumping system comprising:
a pump; a motor coupled to the pump; and a controller in communication with the motor, the controller automatically determining a minimum power consumption value, an optimized flow rate, and an optimized operational time period for a particular volume of at least the pool in order to filter at least the pool.
