First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of operating an arrangement of a filter including a pipe system and a feed pump of a swimming pool in proportion to the degree of contamination of water in said pool, comprising the steps of:
- storing in a computer memory values representative of naturally occurring losses of said water (evaporation) per unit of time, of fresh water added, of water loss due to spillage, of said pipe system, and of the output of said feed pump and the flow resistance of said filter arrangement;
deriving a value a value indicative of the number of persons within said swimming pool;
processing said stored values and said indicative value to obtain a signal representative of said degree of water pollution; and
feeding said pollution signal to means for controlling the output of said filter arrangement.
