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.

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.

A housing for a spa-side controller is disclosed, including a base having a top side and a bottom side. An aperture is positioned on the bottom side to permit the access of a controller to an electrical circuitry in electrical communication with a spa. A lid is pivotally engaged with the top side of the base, the lid permitting selective access to the controller.

An inflatable massage pool comprises a pool body defining an inflatable cavity and a water receiving cavity. A water inlet assembly, located in the inflatable cavity, is configured to provide one of a filtered water flow or a massage water flow to the water receiving cavity. The water inlet assembly includes a water inlet pipe and a water flow guiding device. The water inlet pipe has a water inlet passage in fluid communication with the water flow guiding device for delivering one of the filtered water flow or the massage water flow to the water receiving cavity. The water inlet passage and the water flow guiding device delivers the massage water flow and the filtered water flow into the water receiving cavity in different paths or the same path, thereby reducing welding points on a pool wall, lowering the manufacturing cost, and reducing the difficulty in pipeline arrangement.

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.

A gas heater for a swimming pool or spa includes a cabinet defining an interior, a combustion chamber enclosure, a heat exchanger positioned within the combustion chamber enclosure, a burner, a combustion blower configured to provide combustible gas to the burner, and electrical components positioned within the cabinet. The cabinet has a plurality of side panels and a top panel covering a top opening to the interior of the cabinet. The combustion chamber enclosure defines a combustion chamber, and is positioned within the interior of the cabinet. The combustion chamber enclosure also includes a burner opening in which the burner is positioned such that the burner is configured to dissipate combustible gas into the combustion chamber. At least one of the electrical components is configured to control the gas heater. The electrical components are accessible through the top opening when the top panel is removed.

A system for delivering oxygen to a substantially stationary patient without coupling a device to the body of the patient is disclosed. The system includes a source of oxygen coupled to a delivery system wherein the delivery system has a pump configured to pressurize oxygen and an elongate hollow member operatively coupled to the pump. The elongate hollow member has a proximal end and a distal end and is constructed to receive oxygen in its proximal end and deliver oxygen to the patient out the distal end. The length and diameter of the elongate member, the flow of oxygen through the elongate member, and the distance from the distal end of the elongate member to the face of the patient are optimized to collimate a stream of oxygen such that when the stream of oxygen reaches the patients face it envelops the face of the patient.

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 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.

An insulated spa cover (10) contains a thermal insulating core (30), a top cover (150) with an average permeance of at least 57.2 nanograms/Pascal*seconds*square meters, and a hydrostatic head test value of at least 5,000 Pascals, a vapor barrier (130) and optionally a bottom sheet (140) apart from the vapor barrier. Venting pathways are defined around the thermally insulating core to facilitate escape of water vapor.
