Abstract: A circulation and heating device for a hot tub, consisting of a motor-pump-unit and a pipe forming a stand, whereby said pipe ends in a dry portion of the pump housing, and contains a rod shaped resistance heating element with the leads on one end which receive their power supply from inside said dry portion, and that the water conveyed through the pipe leaves through a lateral opening of the pipe which communicates with the suction side of the pump.

Abstract: There is disclosed herein a suspension system including a shipping stop arrangement for resiliently mounting a refrigeration motor-compressor unit within a hermetically sealed shell. The suspension system comprises a three point supporting arrangement employing a pair of laterally disposed springs, each having a single tapered portion, for providing vertical support to the motor-compressor, in combination with a single top spring for providing lateral stability. Lateral and vertical motion limiting shipping stops are also provided to prevent excessive movement of the motor-compressor, such as may occur during shipment thereof, from damaging the suspension system members. In addition, the system is capable of accommodating different size motor-compressor units in a standardized hermetic shell size by using simple spacers of different sizes.

Abstract: A high efficiency water hammer type pump and more particularly, an improved construction for such a pump including a construction whereby water expelled from a waste valve is returned to the supply line of the pump.
