A water holding container (1) supported by a base (7, 8,9) that allows a Massage Therapist to administer massage therapy to a client immersed in heated water. An inclined floor base (2) at one end of the container positions a client's face above the water level. A removable toe support (4) helps a shorter client to keep his/her face above the water level.

A system for washing and treating infants includes components for keeping an infant under controlled sterile and warm conditions. The system also includes a device for washing the infant, which has a support frame and a flexible laminar element adapted to be secured thereto. The frame and the laminar element define a housing for receiving the infant while he/she is being washed and/or treated. The housing is adapted to be introduced into the washing and treating components and is accessible from outside. The frame has a single-unit structure composed of tubular members made of a medical-grade sterilizable metal or non-metal material.

A pumping compartment for a portable hot tub or swim spa. The compartment may include a hollow body disposed in an internal cavity of the hot tub, and a warming apparatus and a pumping apparatus connected to the hollow body. The warming apparatus may include an air conveyor and a fan driven by a fan motor. The pumping apparatus may include a water inlet conveyor, a water pump and a water outlet conveyor.

The shower head nozzle as disclosed herein includes a quick-connect coupling for selectively attaching the nozzle to a downwardly extending conduit or tube for directing tested water through a test unit and into a bucket or drain, wherein the test unit may include a flow meter for measuring real-time water flow rate and a temperature sensor for measuring real-time water temperature dispensed from the shower head, thereby reducing the testing time, more accurately determining flow-rate and water temperature, and decreasing the amount of waste water.

A valve for a plumbing system has a housing with an inlet and an outlet and a valve body movable in the housing between a throttle position with a decreased a flow cross section and reduced flow between the inlet and outlet and an open position with a large flow cross section and free flow between the inlet and outlet. Structure in the valve body applies hydraulic pressure from the inlet or outlet to the valve body to shift same into the throttle position when a pressure differential between the inlet and the outlet exceeds a specified value and into the open position in the absence of a pressure differential between the inlet and the outlet.

A cold plunge tub includes an insulated tub basin sized to receive a portion of a person. The cold plunge tub comprises an outer tub sidewall and an inner tub sidewall. A ceramic insulative material can be placed between the outer tub sidewall and the inner tub sidewall and/or a seal formed, the inner tub sidewall defining a reservoir for receiving water therein, the reservoir sized to receive the portion of the person; and a tub lid removably covering and upper reservoir opening of the reservoir.
