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 sauna having various heating, lighting, or other electrically operated elements is equipped with galvanically isolated current detection circuitry and galvanically isolated voltage detection circuitry, each in communication with a processor. The processor is operable to monitor, store and analyze voltage and current data to detect latent malfunctions and to predict and prevent future malfunctions, and to provide reports to users or operators. In various embodiments the processor may alert users to malfunctions or potential problems and may further actuate circuitry to cut power to the sauna upon detection of a malfunction.

A bathing installation system includes a controller configured to communicate with one or more sensors, and interfaces, and is electrically connected to load devices of the bathing installation, the load devices including a heater. The controller is configured to generate a host authentication query for transmission to the heater, and to receive heater authentication responses received in response to the host authentication query. The heater includes a heater element and a client authentication IC configured to receive the authentication query from the controller and to generate a heater authentication response in response to the received authentication query. The controller system is configured to enable normal operation of the heater if the received heater authentication response matches the host authentication response, and, if not, to generate a notification to a bathing installation user that the heater is not an authentic heater or other action.

Systems and methods are provided for the control of pool or spa device circuits. A control system load center may control pool or spa device circuits in response to command data received from local or remote client devices. 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.

A sauna operational state control system has a controller comprising an I/O interface interfacing a heater, a state controller configurable in a plurality of sauna operational states including standby and heating states and a heater controller which operably controls the heater via the I/O interface. The state controller is configured to receive schedule data, calculate a session start time according to the schedule data, calculate a heating time period, and calculate a heating time period start time according to the session start time and the heating time period. The state controller monitors time and, at the heating time period start time, enters the heating state wherein the heater controller operates the heater. As such, the present state controller allows for time-based anticipatory operational state control of a sauna including ensuring reaching of temperature setpoint parameters.

A pedicure chair with a basin for receiving a quantity of water therein. An autofill system can be incorporated with the basin to automatically manage spillover. The auto fill system can have a controller, a water supply valve, and a water level sensor. The water level sensor can be a proximity sensor attached externally 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 is configured to shut off the water supply to the basin by sending a signal to actuate the water supply valve. A steamer can be used with the pedicure chair to provide heat and a therapeutic steam bath.

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.

The invention relates, on the one hand, to a mobile vehicle with water bathing facility for entertainment purposes that comprises at least one suitable motor vehicle, an either open or covered pool (m) mounted on this vehicle as a superstructure or converted from the body of the car where the pool (m) concerned is filled with water, and where the water-level control to suit the current road conditions is executed by means of the screw jacks (h), hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders (h), effectuated by a pool-moving unit (1), and the stability of the water mass swaying on account of braking and acceleration is ensured by the flood diverting unit (2) and water flow and sway controlling unit (3). The aforesaid units together with the central control unit (v) constitute one system, which is the water-level controlling system (6) of a pool (m) filled with water that is mounted on a motor vehicle. On the other hand, the invention relates to an application for transportation of people in a pool (m) mounted on a motor vehicle and filled with water which vehicle is utilised as a sightseeing bus comprising the complete range of services provided by the mobile bathing vehicle, such as sightseeing tours, bachelor parties, hen nights, school trips and any function or social event.

A pool or spa system includes networked pool or spa devices that can be dynamically configured with network addresses by a controller. The controller can transmit a device discovery request on a network and can receive a discovery response from pool or spa devices that require a network address. The system determines and assigns the network addresses for the pool or spa devices based on unique device identifiers associated with the responding pool or spa devices. The network addresses assigned to the pool or spa device are transmitted to the pool or spa device to be used by the pool or spa devices to communicate with the controller over the network. The system can be used to discover and assign addresses to various types of pool or spa devices, such as pumps, underwater lights, chlorinators, water feature controllers, remote controllers, and/or other types of devices.
