Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2568096A1] The device has a filteration assembly (5) comprising a filter. A pump assembly (7) allows circulation of water of a swimming pool through the filteration assembly. A sensor measures depression near the filtration assembly. A home automation case is connected to the sensor such that the sensor returns a value greater than a threshold of depression. The case outputs a signal indicating that cleaning or replacing of the filter is to be needed. The threshold of depression lies between 20 millibars and 75 millibars according to a position of the sensor. An independent claim is also included for a method for detection of clogging of a filter pertaining to a filtration unit of a swimming pool.
