As of December 2020, a project is underway to add monitoring and control automation to the pool systems.  This is strictly a volunteer effort, at no cost to the club.
== Overview ==


The reasons for this system are as follows:
A monitoring and control automation system was installed in the pump house during the 2020-2021 off-season.  It was custom designed and installed to aide in the management of the pool, ensuring the pool is safe and comfortable for all occupants while reducing effort for the staff.


* To monitor staff and key maintenance personal of abnormal operating conditions or situations requiring attention.
