1. A method for remotely monitoring and controlling a pump for a pool or a spa, comprising the steps of:

  • assigning by a processor of the pump an Internet Protocol (IP) address to the pump;

    establishing a network connection between the processor of the pump and a remote device;

    providing for remote monitoring of operational parameters associated with the pump from the remote device over the network connection;

    providing for remote control of the pump from the remote device over the network connection;

    retrieving by the processor factory specified life expectancy data from a memory;

    determining by the processor a life expectancy alert threshold based on the factory specified life expectancy data;

    receiving at the processor operational data on runtime of the pump;

    determining by the processor if the runtime of the pump exceeds the life expectancy alert threshold; and

    controlling, by the processor, the pump based on the determination by the processor of whether the runtime of the pump exceeds the life expectancy alert threshold.
