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 automatic foot cleaner and callus remover is provided. Through the use of multiple flexible cleaning bands configured to scrub the heel and sole of a user's foot, as well as a toe cleaning mechanism, the automatic foot cleaner and callus remover is capable of cleaning the user's foot and removing any calluses on the user's foot. Optionally, the automatic foot cleaner and callus remover is filled with a liquid such as infused water to assist with the cleaning process.

A foldable foot bath device includes a support rod, an upper frame, a base, and a basin wall connected between the upper frame and the base. A cover plate is arranged on the upper frame. The basin wall is made of flexible material and foldable. When the basin wall is unfolded to form a foot bath area, the basin wall is supported by the support rod. The support rod is located in the space surrounded by the basin wall, and an upper end of the support rod is rotatably connected to the cover plate. The support rod is supported between the cover plate and the bottom side of the base after the basin wall is unfolded, thereby forming the support for the basin wall. The support rod is flipped and then approaches the cover plate after the basin wall is folded.

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.

An ionized pedicure chair system provides a pedicure treatment experience to a user with treated water. The system includes a built-in ionizer device configured to adjust the pH level of the water used for the pedicure as desired in the 2.5 to 6.0 pH range. The system includes a base supported built in water lines, a reclinable chair, and a double bowl system. The double bowl system includes an inner bowl and an outer bowl provided a decorative feature and eliminates spills from the inner bowl.

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 method of treating or preventing one or both of a bacterial infection or fungal infection of a foot of a subject includes combining a diluent and at least one of a clindamycin solution or an erythromycin solution to form a footbath solution. The method may further include topically administering the footbath solution to the subject. Administering may include contacting with the footbath solution a skin area of the foot of the subject that is infected or suspected to be infected.

A boot assembly and method that simulates, in a static equine animal (stalled or hauled), the natural mechanical action of walking or other gaited exercise. The assembly has a boot, containing a shock absorbing pad that is fitted with one or more pulsing bladders disposed under or inside the shock absorbing pad. Pressuring and relaxing the pulsing bladder in the bottom of the boot rhythmically pushes against the sole and frog and against the toe of the equine hoof in much the same way that the hoof is exercised when the animal is moving. The pulsing action helps stimulate blood flow through the hoof and is beneficial to shod, injured, and transported horses. The assembly may be fitted on one or more hooves, and may be automated to provide timing and sequencing to simulate different gaits of the animal. In some aspects, the assembly is disposed in an ice boot or ice spa boot to also provide cryotherapy as well as simulated exercise.
