Systems, apparatus and methods for providing air and water to hot tub jets. The present teachings include jet assemblies, manifold assemblies, and related components, as well as methods of assembling hot tubs involving these components. In some cases, the present teachings describe the use of dual extrusion tubing to route air and water through adjacent, connected fluid conduits. In some cases, the present teachings describe a press-and-click method of connecting various components.

An integrated valve and manifold assembly includes a water valve configured to control water flow from one or two valve outlets. At least one of the outlets is coupled to a manifold. In some examples, the manifold is a dual-extrusion manifold having at least one air channel and at least one water conduit, and the water valve has a pair of air channels attached to a periphery of the water valve and configured to couple to the manifold air channels. In examples wherein at least one of the manifolds is a dual-extrusion manifold, a top portion of the assembly includes an air valve configured to control flow of air to air channel(s) of the dual-extrusion manifold. In other examples, the assembly includes a one-outlet or two-outlet water valve configured to couple to water manifolds, with no attached air channels or air valves.

A soaking chair comprising: a bucket seat comprising a seat back, a seat surface, and two armrests; and a support structure; wherein the chair is suitable for use in a shower; and wherein the seat surface comprises a reservoir and a moveable dam panel.

One or more systems are disclosed for producing microbubbles in a standard tub as well as a pedicure tub for performing pedicures on a user. The one or more systems include a microbubble generating device. The microbubble generating device includes its own housing and is portable or can be attachable to one or more structures such as a pedicure chair. The microbubble generating device includes a pump, an air mixing chamber, a solenoid valve, and electrical timer. After passing through the pump and the air mixing chamber of the microbubble generating device, the outgoing water is infused with microbubbles and redirected from an outlet of the microbubble generating device to the tub or pedicure tub. The system further includes an aerator assembly and one or more filters. Microbubbles are included in the water to provide deep cleaning and other health benefits to the user.

A soaking chair comprising: a bucket seat comprising a seat back, a seat surface, and two armrests; and a support structure; wherein the chair is suitable for use in a shower; and wherein the seat surface comprises a reservoir and a moveable dam panel near a front end of the seat surface.

A pedicure chair with a basin having an auto-fill system for depositing water into the basin while eliminating spillover is disclosed. The auto-fill system has a controller, a water supply valve, and a water level sensor. The water level sensor can be a proximity sensor attached to an external surface of the basin. The water level sensor can send a signal to a controller when the water level sensor detects a predetermined water level in the basin. The controller can be configured to shut on and off the water supply to the basin by sending a signal to actuate the water supply valve.
