METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SANITIZING WATER IN A BATHING UNIT PROVIDING DIAGNOSTIC CAPABILITIES AND CONTROL INTERFACE FOR USE IN CONNECTION WITH SAME

摘要

A sanitizing system is provided for use in sanitizing water in a bathing unit system including a receptacle for holding water in which an halide salt has been dissolved and a circulating system for removing and returning water from and to the receptacle. The system includes a sanitizing device having a housing configured to be positioned in fluid communication with the circulation system and an electrolytic cell positioned within the housing so that when power is applied to the electrolytic cell, the halide salt dissolved in water is converted to an amount of free halogen. A controller controls an amount of power supplied to the electrolytic cell so as to control the amount of free halogen being generated. The controller measures a characteristic of the water and initiates a process at based on the measured characteristic. For example the controller may measure a resistance of the water in view of initiating a process for determining an amount of halide salt or an amount of water to be added to the receptacle. A user control interface for the sanitizing device is also provided.
