Exercise Pool with Circulating Flow
A Exercise Pool is disclosed herein having a rigid frame modular in design to allow for improved delivery and assembling. As shown the system may be configured with a box like structure providing containment of the flow head and may be configured with a removable walk deck having an air gap built in. As disclosed the treadmill swimming pool system as its general configuration is safer for users as it inhibits and/or eliminates hair and body entrapment. As disclosed it has a balanced flow which better replicates or reproduces actual swimming conditions for an enhanced user experience. The propulsion system may be controlled with a variable frequency drive (VFD) to allow for improved swimming conditions and control of same.

Spa cabinet attachment
A spa cabinet construction system where horizontal panels on the sides are mounted with a horizontal clip strip that mates with horizontal snaps attached to vertical members, and where corner profiles are mounted with a vertical clip strips that mate with vertical snaps.
Above ground pool
This application teaches the construction of an above ground pool with minimal labor and time. The actual construction can be accomplished by one person. Through use of a series of interlocking panels, and rods to secure the panels in place the construction of a pool can be accomplished. Additionally the use of an outer skin provides both an aesthetic compliment as well as additional integrity to the structure of the pool.
Apparatus, system and method for assembling, aligning, leveling and squaring in-ground pool walls
An apparatus and system for assisting in assembling, aligning, and leveling the wall panels of an inground swimming pool, the apparatus comprising an adjustment member having an externally threaded shaft section, an internally threaded fastener which is rigidly attached in a hole in a bottom flange of a wall panel, and a cleat member which is adjustably connected under the bottom flange such that the wall panel can be supported on the cleat member, whereby the wall panel can be raised or lowered as needed during assembly, alignment, and leveling of the pool wall by rotatably adjusting the position of the adjustment member, whereby the tensile strength of the threaded shaft is less than that of the threaded aperture in the cleat member such that an area of the threads on the threaded shaft section spaced from the end of the shaft section are intentionally fractured or damaged, preventing prevent the cleat member becoming disengaged from the panel.
Encapsulated panel systems
This application describes insulated panel systems with first and second encapsulated foam core panels having foam cores, coated with or otherwise encapsulated in a shell material. Front and back overlap members may be fixed to the first encapsulated foam core panel or the second encapsulated foam core panel to allow the insulated panel system to removeably cover a container around a perimeter of the container (i.e., in a lateral direction relative to the container). A drip edge and overlap member may be fixed to the first encapsulated foam core panel to allow the insulated panel system to removeably cover a container vertically along a height of the container (i.e., in a vertical direction relative to the container).
Swimming pool with composite wall
A swimming pool wall, and method for forming same, including a plurality of layers of reinforced composite material. Each layer includes a thermoplastic resin and a plurality of elongate glass strands of reinforcing material. A first set of the plurality of layers has the strands running in a first direction, and a second set of the plurality of layers has the strands running in a second direction. The first direction is offset in angle from the second direction, and the first and second set of layers are fused together to form a unitary composite wall. The pool wall permits the use of a composite material which provides sufficient strength and resists degradation. The wall structure may be a plurality of interconnected panels both arcuate and arcuate and planar in shape to determine the overall shape of the composite wall enclosing an area where water or ice is retained.
STRUCTURAL FOAM POOL SYSTEMS
A structural foam pool system includes multiple sidewall sections and multiple bottom sections. Abutting sidewall sections are joined together. A sidewall section, from the multiple sidewall sections, is joined to a bottom section. A fluid-tight bond is formed between the abutting sidewall sections and between the sidewall and bottom sections with an adhesive. A sealant is disposed around and closely adjacent to the adhesive layer to prevent fluid leakage from the pool system. The system is then coated in multiple layers of reinforcing mesh with plaster and waterproofing, and finished using a variety of pool finish products, such as tile, plaster, paint, and vinyl liner.

Container assembly and method for making same
The invention is an assembly of prefabricated metal receptacles forming a swimming pool and a method for constructing the assembly. Among other features, the assembly is characterized by guided or unguided clamping structures that allow on-site construction without requiring on-site welding or access to the bottom or interior of the assembly.
