Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de détection du déploiement d'un élément de recouvrement sur un bassin, notamment d'une piscine.The present invention relates to a device for detecting the deployment of a covering element on a pool, in particular a pool.

Par exemple, il est connu de disposer d'un électrolyseur. Afin de prévenir le développement d'algues et de bactéries dans un bassin, il est nécessaire de traiter l'eau. Or, le développement d'algues et de bactéries est accéléré par la photosynthèse et le réchauffement de l'eau. Ainsi, lorsque le bassin est couvert, il est possible de réduire de 95% la puissance du traitement de l'eau, n'étant quasiment plus soumise à la photosynthèse. Le traitement de l'eau est en général réalisé par des électrolyseurs ou des producteurs d'ozone ou autres.For example, it is known to have an electrolyzer. To prevent the development of algae and bacteria in a pond, it is necessary to treat the water. However, the development of algae and bacteria is accelerated by photosynthesis and the warming of water. Thus, when the pond is covered, it is possible to reduce by 95% the power of water treatment, being almost no longer subjected to photosynthesis. The treatment of water is generally carried out by electrolysers or ozone producers or others.

- B. détecter le passage de l'élément de recouvrement de l'une des première et deuxième configurations vers l'autre configuration ;
- C. commander l'au moins un équipement de piscine de manière à ce qu'il fonctionne selon le premier mode de fonctionnement lorsque l'élément de recouvrement occupe la première configuration, et selon le deuxième mode de fonctionnement lorsque l'élément de recouvrement occupe la deuxième configuration.
