Abstract
A pump health monitoring system is provided. Such a system includes one or a plurality of data capture devices that together collect a multiple variable data set relating to a device being monitored such as a water pump device for a pool or spa and/or an underwater submerged pump device. A programmable processor receives the multiple variable data set, retrieves a set of processing rules that are specific to the identity of the pump and processes the operating details with the set of processing rules to identify a current operational status or health status of the device.
Claims15
A pump health monitoring system, comprising:
- a plurality of data capture devices that together collect a multiple variable data set relating to a pump, the multiple variable data set including at least one or more identifying details of the pump and operating details of the pump;
- and
- a first programmable processor that receives the multiple variable data set, extracts the identifying details from the multiple variable data set, determines an identity of the pump from the identifying details, retrieves a set of processing rules that are specific to the identity of the pump, and processes the operating details with the set of processing rules to identify a current operational status of the pump,
- wherein, the first programmable processor initiates a display of information documenting one or more operational problems on a display device when the current operational status indicates that the pump is currently experiencing the one or more operational problems.

A method for monitoring health of a pump system, the method comprising:
- receiving a multiple variable data set, the multiple variable data set relating to a pump and including at least identifying details of the pump and operating details of the pump;
- extracting the identifying details from the multiple variable data set;
- determining an identity of the pump from the identifying details;
- retrieving a set of processing rules that are specific to the identity of the pump;
- processing the operating details with the set of processing rules to identify a current operational status of the pump;
- and
- initiating a corrective action when the current operational status indicates that the pump is experiencing one or more operational problems.

A pump health monitoring system, comprising:
- a user device including a user device processor, a first network interface, a plurality of data capture devices, and a user device non-transitory computer readable medium;
- a cloud server including a cloud server processor, a second network interface, and a cloud server non-transitory computer readable medium;
- a communication link that operatively connects the user device and the cloud server via the first network interface and the second network interface;
- first program instructions stored on the user device non-transitory computer readable medium, the first program instructions being executable by the user device processor to cause the user device to perform the steps of:
- capturing a multiple variable data set relating to a pump with the plurality of data capture devices, the multiple variable data set including at least identifying details of the pump and operating details of the pump;
- sending the multiple variable data set to the to the cloud server via the communication link;
- receiving information documenting one or more operational problems of the pump from the cloud server;
- and
- displaying the information documenting the one or more operational problems of the pump on a display of the user device;
- and
- second program instructions stored on the cloud server non-transitory computer readable medium, the second program instructions being executable by the cloud server processor to cause the cloud server to perform steps of:
- receiving the multiple variable data set from the user device;
- extracting the identifying details from the multiple variable data set;
- determining an identity of the pump from the identifying details;
- retrieving a set of processing rules that are specific to the identity of the pump from a memory device coupled to the cloud server;
- processing the operating details with the set of processing rules to identify a current operational status of the pump;
- and
- sending the information documenting the one or more operational problems of the pump to the user device via the communication link when the current operational status indicates that the pump is experiencing the one or more operational problems.
