US patent US12724020

Water quality monitor system and method

Abstract

A water quality monitor for a swimming pool is disclosed. The water quality monitor has a base having a first end and a second end, a removable cover coupled to and enclosing the first end of the base, a flow cell jar extending from the second end of the base, and a sensor probe connected to the second end of the base and extending downwardly into the flow cell jar. The sensor probe is configured to measure a plurality of water quality parameters. The monitor further includes a debris filter provided in a fluid flow path between an inlet and a first side of the base, and a controller configured to provide a connection between the water quality monitor and a cloud storage system using a wireless network. The measured plurality of water quality parameters are transmitted through the wireless network to the cloud storage system.
