An air pump for dispensing air massage therapy to a basin is provided. It may be used and with a disposal liner. The air pump includes a motor, an air generator, a mounting housing member, a gasket or seal, and an air nozzle. The air pump assembly includes the air pump and the air dispenser. The air pump preferably also includes a printed circuit board (PCB), a PCB cover, an LED light, an infrared light, and a contactless fluid sensor. The present invention is also directed to a pump apparatus that includes an air pump as described, a power source, and/or a control apparatus.

An inflatable massage pool is provided including pool body including a pool wall and a pool bottom. A water holding chamber is defined by a pool wall and a pool bottom. The pool further includes a control box configured to control a massage function. The pool wall includes an air chamber, an accommodating chamber sized to accommodate the control box therein, and a chamber wall separating the air chamber from the accommodating chamber. The chamber wall includes a first opening through which the control box can be placed.

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.

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 bathtub includes a bathing well having a rim and an inner well defined in the rim. The bathtub further includes a rim cap disposed over the rim and an electronic component disposed in at least one of the inner well or the rim cap.

A spa control system where the spa's heater is disconnected from the power source anytime the water in the heater is at a higher temperature than that set by the user by a prescribed amount, or more an absolute value that is higher than normal operating temperatures. Since the control system has a regular temperature management system this will only occur because of a problem in the spa or the control system itself. Independent paths between a pair of temperature sensors in the heater and the relays that connect line voltage to the heater are provided to meet the safety requirements of UL. Two sensors in the heater are co-located in a metal tube, placed near the heater.

An inflatable float tank for providing a therapeutic sensory deprivation session. The inflatable float tank includes opaque inflatable sidewalls including a drop-stitch material. The drop stitch material includes opposing walls with stitched threads extending at acute angles from one another. When uninflated these internal stitch structures are allowed to collapse and provide substantially foldable and pliable deflated sidewalls as opposed to substantially rigid sidewalls upon inflation. The inflatable float tank is filled with float solution including water and Epsom salt heated to skin temperature so as to provide a highly buoyant float environment with a lack of sensory stimulation. The inflatable float tank exhibiting improved insulation within the tank and ease of assembly. The inflatable float tank and assembly thereof doesn't require rigid support structures such as poles and joints. And, the inflatable float tank is substantially foldable in an uninflated state and is substantially rigid in an inflated state.

Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and devices for implementing a rotating control panel. Systems include an enclosed space of a sauna comprising a plurality of walls, an opening in at least one of the plurality of walls, and a control panel configured to be coupled with at least one heating element. The control panel includes an axis of rotation and a plurality of controls. Systems also include a rotating mount coupled with the control panel at the axis of rotation to enable the control panel to rotate at least 180 degrees within the opening of the a wall of the enclosed space of the sauna without disconnecting the at least one electrical connector. Systems include an insulating seal coupled with the control panel and configured to contact the opening when the control panel is coplanar with the wall while allowing the control panel to rotate freely within the opening.

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 shower heater system and method is described herein. The shower heater system includes a housing, a fan, a fan motor, a fan control, a fan outlet, a main temperature control component, a heater element, and a flexible hose. The housing has an exterior housing wall, a housing inlet, and a housing outlet. The fan outlet is coupled to a heater element inlet. The main temperature control component includes a heater control component disposed on the exterior housing wall. The heater control component has a first heater setting. The main temperature control component adjusts a heater element according to the first heater setting. The heater element is coupled to the heater element inlet. The heater element outlet is coupled to the heater element and the heater element outlet is coupled to the housing outlet. A flexible hose is coupled to the housing outlet.
