Abstract: An induction heating system for a basin of a pedicure chair and a pedicure chair with one or more pumps and one or more heating sources are disclosed. A conducting object is located on an interior side of a first wall of the basin, with an induction heater located on the exterior side of the first wall. The conducting object is separated from the induction heater by a solid portion of the first wall. The induction heater is configured to generate a high frequency field that passes through the solid portion of the first wall and causes the conducting object to generate heat. A controller is configured to turn on/off the induction heater to maintain a desired temperature in the basin.

Abstract: A pedicure chair with a basin having an auto-fill system for depositing water into the basin while eliminating spillover is disclosed. The auto-fill system has a controller, a water supply valve, and a water level sensor. The water level sensor can be a proximity sensor attached to an external surface of the basin. The water level sensor can send a signal to a controller when the water level sensor detects a predetermined water level in the basin. The controller can be configured to shut on and off the water supply to the basin by sending a signal to actuate the water supply valve.

Abstract: A jet pump associated with a heat source, such as a heating element or heating coils, is disclosed. The heating element is located in a housing chamber and coaxially with an impeller. An electrical motor rotates the impeller and circulates water within the chamber and between coils of the heating element. The heated water is then discharged into a basin found in a pedicure chair or other devices requiring agitated, heated water.
