A pool or spa system includes networked pool or spa devices that can be dynamically configured with network address by a controller. The controller can transmit a device discovery request on a network and can receive a discovery response from pool or spa devices that require a network address. The system determines and assigns the network addresses for the pool or spa devices based on unique device identifiers associated with the responding pool or spa devices. The network addresses assigned to the pool or spa device are transmitted to the pool or spa device to be used by the pool or spa devices to communicate with the controller over the network. The system can be used to discover and assign addresses to various types of pool or spa devices, such as pumps, underwater lights, chlorinators, water feature controllers, remote controllers, and/or other types of devices.

One aspect of the invention provides a computer-implemented method for controlling a swimming pool or spa system. The computer-implemented method includes: creating a data structure representing a plurality of swimming pool system components and fluidic connections between subsets of the plurality of swimming pool system components; receiving a request to control one or more of the plurality of swimming pool system components; calculating fluidic flows through the plurality of swimming pool system components based on one or more potential configurations of the plurality of swimming pool system components capable of fulfilling the request; and detecting whether the one or more potential configurations result in unsatisfactory conditions.

A spa accessory mounting assembly includes a lower anchor, and upright support, and an accessory mount. The lower anchor having a horizontal foot positionable under a spa. The upright support having a lower portion connected to the lower anchor, and an upper end positioned above the lower anchor. The accessory mount is connected to the upright support. At least one of: (i) the upright support is movable relative to the lower anchor between at least two upright support elevations, and the upright support is rigidly connectable to the lower anchor at each of the upright support elevations; and (ii) the accessory mount is movable relative to the upright support between at least two accessory mount elevations, and the accessory mount is rigidly connectable to the upright support at each of the accessory mount elevations.

A systemic human repair and enhancement system that provides stem cell therapy utilizing an apparatus and methods for administering a treatment schedule of non-invasive and drug-free narrow and specific 0.6180 Hz frequency continuous sine wave therapy to the patient's cells. The frequency therapy may be in-vivo and in-vitro applications. The frequency therapy stimulates systemic stem cell production, particularly at a tissue sites having loss of function due to a condition, aging, damage, and or disease. The frequency therapy system encompasses a narrow and specific ultra-low continuous sine wave frequency stimulation therapy that produces one or more of the enhanced cell production, release, viability, proliferation, migration and or engraftment of the human patient's own genetically compatible stem cells, and the therapy enhances the stem cell's secretions thereby safely enhancing the secretion's therapeutic effects during stem cell therapy and simultaneously systemically enhancing the patient's pre-existing cells and tissues.

An inflatable spa has improved strength. A water cavity of the inflatable spa may receive massaging air bubbles and/or jetted water.

Spa systems may be used all year round and in colder weather provide an enjoyable experience for users through the cold ambient outdoor temperature and the heated water of the spa. However, failures in respect of the water circulating pump and/or heater of the spa system either mechanically, electrically or through overall power outages mean the water in the spa system and its pipework can easily freeze if ambient conditions are cold enough leading to cracks in the spa system or pipes and hence leaks when the water thaws requiring costly repair or replacement of components or entire systems. Accordingly, a freeze protection system is provided that uses a backup thermal management system discretely or in combination with other backup systems. These freeze protection systems offering backup when mechanical failures, electrical failures etc. arise by providing thermal input to the spa system through alternate thermal paths and providing alarms.

A fog generator assembly includes a water vapor generator, a fragrance dispenser, and a mixing element fluidly coupled to the water generator and the fragrance dispenser. The mixing element is configured to mix a fog of water vapor from the water vapor generator with a fragrance from the fragrance dispenser to produce an aromatic fog.
