POOL CLEANING CONTROL SYSTEM

A pool control system with a controller valve, a distribution valve, and a microcontroller. The controller valve has a primary water outlet and a bypass water outlet. The controller valve is configured to move between an open configuration in which the water passes from a water inlet to the primary water outlet and a closed configuration in which the water passes from the water inlet to the bypass water outlet. The distribution valve has an inlet port fluidly coupled to the primary water outlet and a plurality of outlet ports with an outlet port aperture. The outlet port aperture is configured to align with a new outlet port each time the controller valve moves from the open configuration to the closed configuration. The microcontroller is configured to discharge water from the pool control system by controlling the controller valve to change the configuration between the open and closed configurations.

Pool cleaning system controller valve

A controller valve with a valve body and a valve cartridge. The valve body has a water inlet, a primary water outlet, and a bypass water outlet. The valve cartridge is positioned within the valve body and has a diaphragm that fluidly isolates an upper chamber from a lower chamber within the valve cartridge. A piston is attached to the diaphragm and is configured to move within the valve cartridge between an upper position and a lower position. When the piston is in the upper position, the valve cartridge limits water flow through the primary water outlet and allows water flow through the bypass water outlet, and when the piston is in the lower position, the valve cartridge allows water flow through the primary water outlet and limits water flow through the bypass water outlet.

Non-discharge backwash filter system

A backwash filtration system comprising a backwash discharge port, a sedimentation collection and separation system, and a final filtration chamber. The backwash discharge port is coupled with a pool filter system and is configured to pass backwashed water from the pool filter system to the sedimentation collection and separation system. The sedimentation collection and separation system has a plurality of sedimentation chambers that are vertically stacked and a plurality of baffles configured to reduce the migration of sediment within the sedimentation chambers. A path for water flow passes down sequentially through each of the sedimentation chambers. The final filtration chamber receives the backwashed water from the sedimentation collection and separation system, filters the backwashed water through a final filtration medium, and passes the filtered water to a water return line of the pool filter system or to a pool of water.

In-floor swimming pool cleaning head

An incrementally rotating in-floor swimming pool cleaning head with a retainer body, a nozzle stem, a ratcheting pin, a removable stationary cam unit, a reversible bayonet, and a removable top ring. The cam unit is stationary in relation to itself and without moving parts. When the cam unit engages the ratcheting pin in a first orientation, the nozzle stem reciprocally operates to ratchet in a clockwise direction, and when the cam unit engages the ratcheting pin in a second orientation, the nozzle stem operates in a counter-clockwise direction. The reversible bayonet includes a plurality of lugs configured to couple to a bayonet connector of the nozzle stem in each of a first orientation configured for a spring powered retracting nozzle, and a second orientation configured for a weighted retraction nozzle.
