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.

A method for treating water in a spa or a hot tub includes, for example, suspending a water treatment dispenser from an upper end of a filter cartridge disposed in a skimmer of the spa or the hot tub. The dispenser includes a water treatment material. A supply of water is passed from the spa or the hot tub into the skimmer and through the filter cartridge so that the dispenser suspended in the filtered water in the filter cartridge is operable to dispense the water treatment material from the dispenser, and a supply of treated filtered water from the filter cartridge is returned to the spa or the hot tub. A cover, for example, may be employed when the dispenser is not used.

A heating device is well-functioning, easy to install, aesthetically pleasing and convenient to use at the same time. It includes a frame having an upper face, which connects the rear and front faces and which generally has a step-shaped shape having at least two levels, which, in use, are at different respective heights and the highest level of which opens onto the rear face while the other levels are distributed substantially uniformly between a base of the frame and the highest level, such that, in use, a user may access the pool by successively walking on the levels of the step-shaped shape by climbing the levels from the ground to enter the pool and by descending the levels to the ground to leave the pool. The device also includes an air-water heat pump, arranged in an internal volume of the frame, which is defined between the base and the rear.

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.

A lift system for a spa cover includes a first lift assembly configured for coupling to a first side of a spa, the first lift assembly including a motor and a first lever arm, the first lever arm having a first end configured for driving connection to the motor, and a second end configured for operative connection to a spa cover, and a clutch assembly configured to transmit torque from the motor to the first lever arm, the clutch assembly including a drive plate rotatably driven by the motor, a clutch plate arranged parallel to the drive plate, and a plurality of projections extending from one of the drive plate and the clutch plate and being configured to engage a corresponding plurality of recesses in the other of the drive plate and the clutch plate.

A system and method for reinforcing a spa shell includes a structural support layer on an underside of the spa shell. The structural support layer may include an inner layer of rigidizer, a central foam layer, and an outer layer of rigidizer. The structural support layer may extend from a bottom side of the underside of the spa shell, across at least one sidewall of the underside of the spa shell to a lip of the spa shell, the structural support layer forming at least one rib along the sidewall of the underside of the spa shell.

An inflatable spa has improved strength. A water cavity of the inflatable spa may receive massaging air bubbles and/or jetted water.

A control box of a massage pool is provided and includes: a filtering water pump unit, including a filtering pump body, a filtering water inlet pipe connected between the massage pool and the filtering pump body, and a filtering output pipe. The control box further includes a massage pump unit, including a massage pump body, a massage inlet pipe connected between the massage pool and the massage pump body, and a massage output pipe. The control box further includes a water outlet pipe configured to output water to the massage pool, and a three- way connecting pipe fitting. The three-way connecting pipe fitting includes: a first branch pipe having a distal end connected to the filtering output pipe, a second branch pipe having a distal end connected to the massage output pipe, and a third branch pipe having a distal end connected to the water outlet pipe At least one valve is configured to alternately open and close a first flow path from the filtering output pipe through the first branch pipe.

Disclosed is a control box. The control box is internally provided with a first chamber, and the first chamber is used for accommodating a control component. The control box is also internally provided with an air supply system for supplying air to a water pool body. The air supply system comprises an air suction part having a housing, the housing is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, and the air inlet is communicated with the first chamber; the air suction part further comprises an air pump provided in the housing, and when the air pump is started, air in the first chamber can be suctioned into the housing by means of the air inlet. The air supply system further comprises a valve part provided with a pipeline, the pipeline is provided with an air intake port and an air supply port, the air intake port is communicated with the air outlet of the housing, and the air supply port is used for being communicated with the water pool body; when the valve part is opened, the air suctioned into the housing can flow into the water pool body along the pipeline. According to the present invention, the working environment in the first chamber can be kept dry, so that the service life of the control component is prolonged. The present invention further provides a massage water pool.

Systems, devices, and methods for treating wounds and infections by immersion therapy are provided along with methods for the use thereof. The systems and devices may include a basin and a heater-blower apparatus. The systems and devices aerate, agitate, and slow the cooling of a liquid in the basin to aid the blood-flow, debridement, and medication of a wound or infection.
