MONITORING AND CONTROLLING AN AQUATIC ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
1. A method for dynamically monitoring, controlling and optimizing an aquatic environment using an aquatic environment control system, said method comprising:
- monitoring an aquatic environment, the step of monitoring comprising;
recording data from at least one of a system control device and an associated sensor, storing the data, and making the data available for analysis;
performing a system anomaly analysis on the data; and
controlling the aquatic environment, the step of controlling further comprising;
presenting an output from the system anomaly analysis at a location using a communication means; and
regulating the system control device based on the output from the system anomaly analysis.

Abstract
A system and method for monitoring and controlling an aquatic environment thus regulating the aquatic environment and maximizing the stability of the aquatic ecosystem. This system uses sensor and data fusion algorithms to perform system anomaly analysis and predictive failure diagnostics based on the output of sensors associated with the aquatic environment control devices. Based on the system anomaly analysis and/or predictive failure diagnostics, the system may continuously adjust the system parameters to maintain an efficient and stable aquatic environment, alert local or remote monitors of failed or impending failure of control devices. In addition, the system may present the system anomaly analysis and predictive failure diagnostics information at a local or remote location to enable the monitor to address any problems presented in situ.
