Abstract
One aspect of the invention provides a system including: a liquid filter configured for fluidic communication with a fluid repository; a flow sensor in fluidic communication with the liquid filter; a variable-speed pump in fluidic communication with the liquid filter and the flow sensor; and a processor in electronic communication with the flow sensor and the variable-speed pump. The processor is configured to: activate the flow pump at a specified flow rate; monitor a positioning of the flow sensor during the specified flow rate; and determine a performance status of the system from the flow sensor positioning.
Claims14
A system comprising:
- a liquid filter configured for fluidic communication with a fluid repository;
- a flow sensor in fluidic communication with the liquid filter;
- a variable-speed pump in fluidic communication with the liquid filter and the flow sensor;
- and
- a processor in electronic communication with the flow sensor and the variable-speed pump, the processor configured to:
- activate a calibration procedure comprising:
- activating the variable-speed pump at a plurality of specified calibration flow rates in a descending order;
- determining a specified calibration flow rate when the flow sensor is in a closed position;
- and
- identifying an underperforming-status threshold from the specified calibration flow rate;
- activate the variable-speed flow pump at a specified flow rate, wherein the specified flow rate meets or falls below the underperforming status threshold;
- monitor a positioning of the flow sensor during the specified flow rate;
- identify the flow sensor is in a closed positioning;
- determine an underperforming performance status of the system from the flow sensor positioning.
