1. A controller suitable for identifying an abnormal operational condition in a bathing system, the bathing system including a set of bathing unit components, each bathing unit component being adapted for acquiring an actuated state and a non-actuated state, the bathing unit components drawing an electrical current when in the actuated state, said controller comprising:

  • a. a memory unit adapted for storing measurements indicative of electrical currents drawn by the bathing system under normal operating conditions, each measurement being indicative of the electrical current being drawn by a respective bathing unit component when in the actuated state;

    b. a processing unit in communication with said memory unit, said processing unit being adapted for acquiring a self-programming state and a monitoring state, wherein;

    i. in the self-programming state, said processing unit being operative for;

    1. obtaining measurements indicative of electrical currents drawn by the bathing system under normal operating conditions;

    2. storing the measurements obtained in 1. on the memory unit;

    ii. in the monitoring state, said processing unit being operative for detecting an abnormal operational condition associated with the bathing system at least in part on the basis of measurements stored on the memory unit.
