Method, system and apparatus for an efficient design and operation of a pump motor

A hydraulic system for a pool, the hydraulic system comprising:

• a first water inlet from the pool;
• a first pool pump motor having a first input and a first output, said first input being connected to said first water inlet;
• a second water inlet from the pool;
• a second pool pump motor having a second input and a second output, said second input being connected to said second water inlet;
• and
• a connection for combining water from said first output and said second output, wherein the water is combined before being returned to the pool.

A controller system for a pool pump motor, the system comprising:

• means for setting an operating mode for the pool pump motor;
• means for setting a torque value for the pool pump motor corresponding to said operating mode;
• means for setting a high operating threshold and a low operating threshold corresponding to said torque value;
• means for operating the pool pump motor in a constant torque mode using said torque value;
• means for monitoring an operating parameter of the pool pump motor corresponding to a load on the pool pump motor;
• and
• means for discontinuing operating the pool pump motor when said operating parameter is higher than said high operating threshold or lower than said low operating threshold.

A method for controlling a pool pump motor, the method comprising:

• Steps for setting an operating mode for the pool pump motor;
• Steps for setting a torque value for the pool pump motor corresponding to said operating mode;
• Steps for setting a high operating threshold and a low operating threshold corresponding to said torque value;
• Steps for operating the pool pump motor in a constant torque mode using said torque value;
• Steps for monitoring an operating parameter of the pool pump motor corresponding to a load on the pool pump motor;
• and
• Steps for discontinuing operating the pool pump motor when said operating parameter is higher than said high operating threshold or lower than said low operating threshold.

A method for controlling a pool pump motor, the method comprising:

• Steps for setting an operating mode for the pool pump motor;
• Steps for setting a RPM value for the pool pump motor corresponding to said operating mode;
• Steps for setting a high operating threshold and a low operating threshold corresponding to said RPM value;
• Steps for operating the pool pump motor in a constant RPM mode using said RPM value;
• Steps for monitoring an operating parameter of the pool pump motor corresponding to a load on the pool pump motor;
• and
• Steps for discontinuing operating the pool pump motor when said operating parameter is higher than said high operating threshold or lower than said low operating threshold.

A hydraulic system for a pool, the hydraulic system comprising:

• a water inlet from the pool;
• a pool pump motor having a input and a output, said input being connected to said water inlet, wherein said water inlet is above said input and gravity feeds water into said pool pump motor in a flooded-suction manner;
• and
• an energy generating turbine configured to be inline between said water inlet and said input where said turbine generates electricity.
