Systems and methods are provided for the control of pool/spa device circuits. A control system may control such circuits in response to command data received from local or remote client devices. Feature circuits and light groups may be defined via a user interface to include a group of pool/spa device circuits or light circuits, respectively. Activating a feature circuit may involve performing an associated logic function. Multiple feature circuits may be assigned to a feature circuit group which, when activated, may activate all feature circuits assigned to the feature group. The control system may control the performance of freeze protection and automatic cleaner functions, and may control light circuits to synchronized, color-changing light effects. Commands may be issued to the control system and system data may be stored and retrieved from a remote database via web servers, web application programming interface servers, and/or inter-server communication buses.

The apparatuses and methods of making and using the same are directed to bathing apparatus to support an object while bathing the object with a fluid. The bathing apparatus may comprise a support assembly constituting a support structure of the apparatus; a support surface to support the object, the support surface supported by the support portion; and a fluid catch disposed on at least three sides of the support surface, the fluid catch serving as a basin for the fluid in such manner to contain the fluid separate from the support surface. The bathing apparatus may be used in combination with a support wall that includes a plurality of channels to hold household items.

A spa fixture lighting system assembly includes a wall-fitting nut having a threaded inner circumferential portion and an interior radial seat, and a light source disposed on a light source seat selected from the group consisting of the interior radial seat, an exterior radial sidewall of the wall-fitting nut, or an exterior circumferential sidewall of the wall-fitting nut.

A hot tub includes a body forming an interior area to be filled with water; a main section formed within the interior area; a secondary section partitioned off from the main section by a wall; and a drain extending from the main section and into the secondary section; the drain is to fill the secondary section from water within the main section.

This disclosure relates generally to induction systems for wirelessly transmitting electricity. Specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods and systems for wirelessly transmitting electricity to a light incorporated within, for example, a spa. In some embodiments, the systems include at least one pair of induction coils (e.g., receiving and transmitting coils) incorporated into a selectively removable spa seatback. The at least one pair of induction coils can be used to wirelessly transmit electricity to a light disposed within the selectively removable spa seatback. In some embodiments, a converter is incorporated into the system to adjust at least one characteristic of the light, such as brightness, color, and/or a lighting pattern.

A hybrid spa has a power adapter connected to a 120 V outlet, a battery connected to the power adapter, and a plurality of spa components connected to the power adapter and the battery. The plurality of components includes a jet pump, a circulation pump, a main heater, and a controller. The battery powers at least some of the plurality of spa components and the power adapter powers the rest. The hybrid spa can further include a secondary heater connected to the battery and a power outlet. The secondary heater can assist the main heater when water needs to be heated by more than 5? F.

A spa fixture lighting system assembly includes a wall-fitting nut having a threaded inner circumferential portion and an interior radial seat, and a light source disposed on a light source seat selected from the group consisting of the interior radial seat, an exterior radial sidewall of the wall-fitting nut, or an exterior circumferential sidewall of the wall-fitting nut.

A bath water heating device for use in a small water environment, such as a bathtub or the like, that is operable to maintain water in the small water environment at a desired temperature. The device may filter water as it is pumped through the device. Additionally or alternatively, the device may provide ambient relaxation and/or entertainment content to a user, such as a bather or the like. The device may be wirelessly connectable to external input/output devices.

Systems and methods for providing network connectivity and remote monitoring, optimization, and control of pool/spa equipment are provided. Internet-of-Things (IoT) functionality is provided for pool and spa equipment in a flexible and cost-effective manner. Network connectivity and remote monitoring/control of pool and spa equipment is provided by various components such as a network communication and local control subsystem installed in pool/spa equipment, and other components. Also disclosed are various control processes (pool logic) which can be embodied as software code installed in any of the various embodiments of the present disclosure.

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.
