Abstract: Apparatus for releasable attachment to a tub or spa to hold reading material, beverage containers and other articles. The apparatus includes two tables movable relative to one another and structure enabling the apparatus to be used with tubs or spas of different sizes and shapes.

Abstract: A pillow for use in tubs or spas that is capable of supporting the head of a person. The pillow is substantially waterproof and integrally houses an electronic audio device and at least one speaker. The electronic audio device and speaker are removable from the pillow and can be housed in waterproof casings. The pillow includes a first portion and a second portion, the first portion for contacting a surface ledge of a tub, and the second portion for contacting an inner wall of the tub during use. The first portion and the second portion form a substantially L-shaped configuration. The center of mass of the pillow is located within the first portion. The center of mass is such to create a moment sufficient to balance the first portion of the pillow on the surface ledge of the tub during use.

Abstract: Apparatus for directing in air flow toward the face or other body area of a bather includes a housing connected to the bathing tub and an air nozzle movable relative to the housing between a retracted position and an extended position.

Abstract: A shower dryer system includes a dryer tower with nozzles for directing heated air into a shower enclosure interior. A programmed controller controls the rate of air flow and the temperature of air flow to and through the air nozzles.

Abstract: Apparatus for filtering spa water includes a therapy pump and a circulation pump. A filter of unitary construction includes a surface loading filter element for filtering water passing through the therapy pump and a depth loading filter element for filtering water passing through the circulation pump. A connector releasably interconnects the two filter elements.

Abstract: A pillow structure is releasably connected to a hot tub shell. The pillow structure includes a border pillow having an opening providing access to the border pillow interior and an insert pillow releasably attached to the border pillow. When in place, the insert pillow covers the opening for preventing manual access to and viewing of connector structure utilized to attach the border pillow to the shell.

Abstract: A spa weir includes a support member forming an opening between a spa body interior and a filter housing interior. Two or more spa doors are located at the opening to control the flow of water through the opening, the spa doors being pivotally connected to one another and one of the spa doors being pivotally connected to the support member.

Abstract: A pump and filter assembly comprising a filter cover secured onto a filter body by a locking ring. A one-piece latching mechanism, integral to the locking ring and composed of flexible material, biases a latching end of the latching mechanism against the locking ring, causing the latching end of the latching mechanism to project through a slit in the locking ring into a notch on the outside of the filter body when the filter body is completely threadably engaged with the locking ring. The latching portion of the latching mechanism is easily biased away from the slit and the notch, facilitating disengagement of the locking ring from the filter body and filter cover. The entire latching mechanism is itself easily removed from the locking ring, facilitating repair or replacement of the latching mechanism.
