System and method for dynamic device discovery and address assignment
A pool or spa system includes networked pool or spa devices that can be dynamically configured with network address 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.
COMPACT DEVICE FOR PRODUCING FOAM FOR WELLNESS AND/OR HYGIENE APPLICATIONS
The device includes a vessel to be filled with a mixture of water and a component producing foam, where the vessel comprises a device for blowing air into the mixture to produce foam. It is provided according to the disclosure that the device comprises at least two vessels to be filled with the mixture arranged one above the other in a vertical direction in tiers, where the vessels comprise the device for blowing air into the mixture to produce foam, where the vessels are open towards an outlet region such that the foam produced in the vessels is merged in the outlet region.
Massaging boot
A massaging system including a boot assembly, a sock assembly, a hydrotherapy assembly and a remote assembly is disclosed. The boot assembly includes a boot with a reservoir for water that is filled through a valve and sealed with a valve cap. Within the boot is a cavity to suspend a sock of the sock assembly within. Along the perimeter of the cavity are jet nozzles to spray water from the reservoir to the sock to provide hydrotherapy to a foot of a user received within the sock. Openings are also located about the perimeter of the cavity allowing water to be returned to the reservoir for continued use. The hydrotherapy assembly includes a water pump and a water heater that cooperate with the jet nozzles to control the settings thereof. The user is able to control the jet nozzles with a remote to customize the hydrotherapy received.
Enclosed emergency wash cabinets
Various apparatus and methods for providing emergency washing including means for discouraging tampering of the various valves.
Irrigation system
An irrigation system for use with a spa includes a water heating circuit, an automatic water fill valve connected to a water source, and an irrigation pump in fluid communication with the spa through a first irrigation line and electrically connected to a power source through a switch arrangement. The irrigation pump is adapted to pump water to at least one irrigation head. The automatic water fill valve then refills the spa from the water source. The system may include a fertilizer injector, a skin-product injector, a water softener, and various sensors running through an irrigation application on a smart phone to control the irrigation system and operation of the spa.
HAND-HELD SANITARY DEVICE AND PERSONAL-HYGIENE SACHET FOR WASHING AND DRYING INTIMATE BODY PARTS
Disclosed is a hand-held sanitary device and to an impermeable and essentially biodegradable personal-hygiene sachet which can be filled with water and used for washing intimate body parts by gentle rubbing. The sanitary device chiefly includes a stop piece, a ring, a spring for keeping the personal-hygiene sachet sealed, a valve and connection to a water heater and dryer which is controlled by the valve. It can be used with running-water toilet bowls, without the need to use toilet paper. The sanitary device is particularly intended for the surface washing of intimate body parts, for vaginal washing, re-establishing pelvic-floor muscle tone, and pleasurable vaginal stimulation in women, using the hygienic sachet intended for each use.
Heating system for a sauna and sauna with such a heating system
The heating system for a sauna comprises an oven and an accumulator. The heating system is electrically connectable to a mains which provides a first electrical power. The accumulator is provided to provide a second electrical power. The oven is operable with the first and second electrical powers to increase the thermal power.
Whirlpool bath controller with intelligent load control to reduce power requirements
A control system for a whirlpool bath installation, including a single input source wiring for connecting to an input source of high voltage AC electrical power having a nominal current rating. A plurality of high voltage output connections are connected to the input source through a corresponding plurality of switches, for power connections to a respective high voltage load devices, whose cumulative nominal current draw ratings exceeds the current rating of the input source. An electronic controller controls states of the switches in response to user input commands. The electronic controller implements an algorithm or a set of rules preventing a system utilization of the high voltage loads from exceeding a total current draw exceeding said nominal maximum current rating.
SHOWER HEAD
A shower head includes a handle and a head portion. The head portion includes shower holes. The handle includes an upstream bubble generator that generates minute bubbles in water. The head portion includes a downstream bubble generator that generates minute bubbles in water in the same manner as the upstream bubble generator. The upstream bubble generator includes a constriction and a tapered portion. The downstream bubble generator has a swirling flow mode. Since minute bubbles are generated on the upstream and downstream sides, the amount of minute bubbles mixed in water becomes larger. This allows for showering by effectively using the function of minute bubbles.
ULTRAFINE OXYGENATED NANOBUBBLES HYDROTHERAPY
A method for enhancing tissue oxygenation by bathing the body or part of a body in water infused with oxygenated microbubbles.
