Abstract

A wind sensitive operating system for swimming pools would enable swimming pools to activate cleaning systems during times of high winds. Currently swimming pools cannot sense high wind conditions and altar their running conditions accordingly. This invention would have a control box which could sense high winds and start up swimming pool cleaning systems at a predetermined wind velocity and a predetermined time length of high wind.

Claims

1. A wind operated actuator for swimming pools, comprising:

a. a wind-speed detection system for enabling swimming pool systems to sense high wind conditions,

b. an activating system for enabling swimming pools to run accordingly for high or low wind conditions,

c. means for transferring knowledge of high wind conditions to activation of swimming pool systems,

whereby said actuator will be able to sense wind conditions and actuate swimming pool systems accordingly.
