Abstract
A pool maintenance system for maintaining desired characteristics of a body of water in fluid communication therewith, includes a chlorine generator having an integral power supply input, a water circulation pump in fluid communication with the body of water and with the chlorine generator via a series of water conduits, and a heat pump in fluid communication the water circulation pump. The water circulation pump and/or the heat pump incorporate an integral power supply/transformer functioning as a single shared power source communicatively integrating the chlorine generator with the respective water circulation pump and/or heat pump. A wired and/or wireless interface is provided electrically connected to the power supply and transformer integrated with the respective water circulation pump and or heat pump. The interface may be configured for communication with an internet-connected user-accessible device and/or a user portable smart device to enable the user to monitor and control at least the operation of the pumps and the chlorinator.
