An irrigation system for use with a spa includes a water heating circuit, an automatic water fill valve connected to a water source, and an irrigation pump in fluid communication with the spa through a first irrigation line and electrically connected to a power source through a switch arrangement. The irrigation pump is adapted to pump water to at least one irrigation head. The automatic water fill valve then refills the spa from the water source. The system may include a fertilizer injector, a skin-product injector, a water softener, and various sensors running through an irrigation application on a smart phone to control the irrigation system and operation of the spa. The system may be installed

A method and a control panel are described for facilitating the control of a bathing unit system so that the bathing unit system is caused to transition between operating in accordance with a first operational mode to operating in accordance with a second operational mode. A control signal is generated in response to a unitary user input event performed by a user at a control panel of the bathing unit system, the control signal conveying an ambiance activation command associated with a specific ambience setting, the generation of the control signal comprising selecting the specific ambience setting from a set of ambience settings stored in a memory device. The control signal is then transmitted from the control panel to the controller over a communication link where it is processed to cause the bathing unit system to transition from being in the rest mode to operating in accordance with the specific ambience setting. The method and a control panel may allow simplifying the control of the bathing unit system in order to achieve a desired total effect by allowing a user to cause the bathing unit to operate in accordance with an ambience setting by way of a unitary user input event performed at the control panel.

A pool pump is provided which includes a housing, and a control panel arranged on the housing, with a control unit connected to the control panel to form a capacitive touch control. The housing may be provided with at least one accommodation cavity, the control panel is arranged in a flippable manner at the housing, and the control panel and the end cover are in a horizontal position and at least one preset angle position. The pool pump is detachably connected to a pool pump cover, which includes: a cover body; a base connected to the cover body; and at least one functional device arranged on the cover body for implementing communication, electrical charging and music play. The pool pump adopts a pool control system for a massage pool unit of an inflatable pool, including an intelligent controller configured to generate multiple water circulation modes.

The present invention relates to a stimulation device (1) configured for interacting with an external body portion of a user, in particular the user's back. The interaction consists of exerting a mechanic action upon the user's body, 5 such as massage stimulation and/or skin scrubbing stimulation. For this purpose, the stimulation device (1) comprises a frame (50) provided with at least one upright element (2) extending along a longitudinal direction (L) preferably corresponding, in use, to a body height of the user, and stimulation means (4), slidably coupled with the upright element (2) according to the 10 longitudinal direction (L). Further, the stimulation device (1) is apt to be installed, in use, in a wall unit (100) for a shower cabin assembly (1000).

An apparatus and method for providing therapeutic bubbling massage of a person's body. The apparatus may be adapted to float on, for example, a pond, lake or pool. The apparatus may be formed of pressurized pneumatic tubing having an interior volume that is pressurized with air. The pneumatic tubing may form a frame allowing a user to sit, lie, recline or otherwise be disposed on upper surfaces of the pneumatic tubing. The weight of a user disposed on the upper surfaces of the pneumatic tubing may force a portion of the pneumatic tubing below the surface of the fluid in which the apparatus is floating, such that bubbles are formed when the pressurized gas is allowed to escape the pneumatic tubing through openings, impacting the body of the user. The gas may be heated or may be infused with an aroma.

Control boxes with segregated low- and high-voltage components are described. Service technicians (or others) requiring access to one set of components may do so without necessarily accessing the other set. Dual user interfaces may be utilized, further, with one interface being present at the control box and the other being remote therefrom.

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.
