Abstract:
Maintaining optimal water quality in swimming pools is critical for ensuring safety, hygiene, and user comfort. Traditional methods often rely on manual and regular adjustments, which are time-consuming, prone to errors, and operationally inefficient. External factors can lead to excessive maintenance and unnecessary water waste, while under-maintenance could result in cloudy, discoloured, and dirty water. This research presents a SmartPool Internet of Things (IoT)-based solution that automates the maintenance and management of water quality using integrated sensors and actuators. The pool system measures parameters, such as pH, chloride, temperature, and water levels to preserve and control aesthetic and health parameters. The solution provides real-time data visualization and user interaction through a user-friendly dashboard and supports automated decisions. The developed prototype solution consists of a minimum-value product version of the presented architecture centred on a Raspberry Pi that incorporates camera and recognition algorithms to enhance pool safety, physical assets, a web interface, and a middleware open-source solution. This work demonstrates how Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical Systems technologies can automate pool parameter management by ensuring sustainability and improving efficient operations.
