Concepts and methods for pool system communication between connectable devices

A chlorinator system comprising:

• a swimming pool chlorinator;
• at least one transceiver configured to provide short-range communication between the swimming pool chlorinator and at least one pool and spa system component;
• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a short-range wireless communication request originating from the at least one pool and spa system component;
• establishing a short-range wireless communication link with the at least one pool and spa system component;
• receiving a wireless communication request from a remote computing device;
• establishing a wireless communication link with the remote computing device, wherein the wireless communication link comprises an additional short-range wireless communication link and a wireless internet communication link;
• receiving a control request from the remote computing device with instructions to control the at least one pool and spa system component;
• and
• controlling the at least one transceiver to wirelessly transmit control signals to the at least one pool and spa system component.
