9. A system for monitoring, analysis and maintenance of swimming pools, the system comprising at least:
(i) at each swimming pool:
at least one sensor configured to sense at least one characteristic of the swimming pool and output sensor data associated with the at least one characteristic of the swimming pool; and
at least one local processing unit; and
(ii) at least one server remotely located from each of the at least one local processing unit of each of the swimming pools, the at least one server being configured at least to:
receive sensor data from the at least one sensor of each of the swimming pools;
receive non-sensory data pertaining to each of the swimming pools, said non-sensory data of a specific swimming pool from the swimming pools, being pertinent at least to planned activities in the specific swimming pool, wherein said planned activities pertain at least to a predicted number of pool occupants predicted to be in the specific swimming pool for at least one given time period; and
apply one or more machine learning algorithms, configured to analyze the received sensor data and non-sensory data, of each one of the swimming pools, for obtaining, for each swimming pool an optimal policy of maintenance of the swimming pool for a predefined future period, based on analysis of the received sensor data and non-sensory data of each of the swimming pools also including a predicted number of pool occupants of the swimming pool, wherein the optimal policy of each of the swimming pools comprises one or more maintenance actions and schedules thereof, for maintenance of the swimming pool by controlling one or more instruments of the swimming pool.
