A lift system for a spa cover includes a fist lift assembly associated with a first side of a spa, and a second lift assembly associated with an opposed, second side of the spa. The first lift assembly includes a motor for applying an uncovering force to a spa cover. The second lift assembly includes a compression spring exerting a generally downward force on the cover when the cover is in the closed position, and a generally upwards force on the cover when the cover is moved towards an open position to assist in an uncovering operation. The second lift assembly also includes a tension spring configured to exert an upward force on the cover when the cover is in the open position to assist the first lift assembly in a covering operation.

A reconfigurable water distribution system for a walk-in tub bathing installation including two or more types of discharge ports for discharging water. The system includes a single motorized pump having an input connected to a suction port of the bathing installation, and an output port delivering pressurized water. A pipe system selectively connects the pump to the two or more types of discharge ports to selectively direct the pressurized water to the different ones of the types of discharge ports. The system selectively enables the bathing installation to perform a plurality of different functions using a single pump.

Hot tubs are disclosed herein that include a rigid outer shell having at least two seats formed therein and a footbed below the at least two seats. The at least two seats are either positioned equidistantly from the footbed or at unequal distances from the footbed. The hot tub includes at least two pumps and each pump is configured to pump water to a single seat. The hot tub has an equal number of seats and pumps as well as a skimmer positioned on a sidewall of the rigid shell. The skimmer extends at least one foot in a vertical direction and is configured to supply water to the pumps when a water level in the hot tub is as low as sixteen (16) inches from the footbed and when the water level in the hot tub is at least thirty (30) inches from the footbed.

A walk-in hot tub which can enable one or more users to walk into and out of a hot tub in a dry state may include a hot tub compartment. The hot tub compartment may have a hot tub compartment interior. A tub transfer compartment may be disposed adjacent to the hot tub compartment. The tub transfer compartment may have a transfer compartment interior. An openable transfer compartment door may provide walking access to a user from outside the tub transfer compartment into the transfer compartment interior of the tub transfer compartment. An openable hot tub compartment door may provide walking access to one or more users between the hot tub compartment interior of the hot tub compartment and the transfer compartment interior of the tub transfer compartment.

A SPA pool is provided including a pool body, the pool body including a pool bottom and a pool wall together defining a water cavity. The SPA pool further includes: an inflatable seat defining therein a second air chamber and disposed in the water cavity; a first nozzle assembly, wherein at least a part of the first nozzle assembly is accommodated within the inflatable seat, and a first end of the first nozzle assembly is in fluid communication with the water cavity. The pool body further includes a fluid pipeline disposed in the first air chamber, the fluid pipeline being in fluid communication with a second end of the first nozzle assembly, so that the first nozzle assembly provides fluid communication between the water cavity and the fluid pipeline.

A pet bath may include a tub, a cover connected to an upper rim of the tub, a jet provided in the tub to discharge bubbles, an air outlet provided in the tub to discharge air, and a sterilizer to sterilize the tub. The tub may have a bottom plate that is raised and lowered relative to a bottom frame having a drain and a filter assembly so that liquid in the tub flows between edges of the bottom plate and an inner surface of the tub toward the bottom frame to be drained and filtered.

The mist generating device includes a housing 11 having a water tank 12; a shaft portion 13 provided in the housing and extending in a vertical direction; an impeller 14 disposed on the shaft portion to be rotatable by means of the motor in a horizontal direction about a rotation axis that is the shaft portion; a nozzle 15 for jetting the water in the water tank toward the impeller; and a pump 21 for delivering the water in the water tank to the nozzle. The impeller includes a plurality of blades 14a arranged along a rotation direction of the impeller and configured to collide with the water jetted from the nozzle. The water jetted from the nozzle collides with the blades to thereby smash the water and generate mist. The housing includes a mist releasing port 18 for releasing the mist generated in the housing outwardly of the housing.

The foot spa has a rotating drive hub and a pump. The hub has North and South pole domains encircling a rotation axis in alternating relation. The pump includes a housing and an impeller, the housing having a pair of sides and defining: a cavity having a center and a periphery; an intake that communicates with the cavity center; and one or more ports communicating with the periphery. The impeller is mounted in the cavity and: defines blades which are adapted, upon rotation of the impeller in the cavity, to draw water through the intake and eject water through the one or more ports; and includes a portion that is ferromagnetic and a portion that is not ferromagnetic, the portions: being adapted such that rotation of the drive hub causes rotation of the impeller and abutting one another, one being axially displaced from the other.

A foot spa tub includes a tub basin, a first magnetic drive member rotatably coupled to a drive motor, and a first casing supporting the magnetic drive member. The first casing is disposed against an exterior surface of a sidewall of the basin. A second magnetic drive member is rotatably coupled to a blade. The first and second magnetic drive members are magnetically coupled to each other so that the blade is drivingly coupled to the drive motor. A nozzle houses the second magnetic drive member and the blade. The nozzle is detachably securable to an interior surface of the sidewall by a magnetic attraction force between the first and second magnetic drive members. A method of circulating liquid in a foot tub spa is also provided.

A jet pump has an impeller with a magnet that can be rotated by a shaft having a magnetic drive plate and wherein the impeller and the magnetic drive plate are separated from one another by at least one solid wall surface. The impeller can be located in a pump housing having a base and a cover. The base can have a surface bearing so that the impeller can contact therewith and rotated against the surface of the surface bearing.
