Active Treatment of Water Chemistry for Swimming Pools Using Novel Automated System (NAS)

Area of Science:

• Pool maintenance technology
• Automated water quality management
• Robotics in recreational facilities

Background:

• Maintaining optimal chlorine and pH levels is crucial for swimming pool safety and water quality.
• Manual monitoring and treatment of pool water can be time-consuming and prone to errors.
• Surface debris removal is essential for pool hygiene and aesthetics.

Purpose of the Study:

• To introduce a novel automated system (NAS) for comprehensive swimming pool management.
• To develop a smart system capable of independent control of water chemistry and surface cleaning.
• To enhance swimming pool safety and reduce manual maintenance efforts.

Main Methods:

• The NAS utilizes a feedback control system for real-time monitoring and adjustment of chlorine and pH levels.
• Synchronous alerts are provided through voice, visual color cues, and digital screen messages.
• Independent chemical treatment is administered via a slide-in container, and surface debris is managed by a remote-controlled net.
• The system is constructed from lightweight aluminum with integrated mechanical and electrical components.

Main Results:

• The NAS successfully automates chlorine and pH level control, ensuring water quality.
• The system provides multi-modal alerts for immediate user awareness of water conditions.
• Independent chemical treatment capabilities address specific water imbalance issues effectively.
• Remote-controlled surface cleaning efficiently removes debris, improving pool hygiene.

Conclusions:

• The Novel Automated System (NAS) offers a unique and smart solution for swimming pool maintenance.
• NAS functions as an effective assistant security guard for pools, enhancing safety and reducing labor.
• The integrated features of automated water treatment and surface cleaning represent a significant advancement in pool care technology.
