Abstract: An air valve assembly has a valve block that is permanently secured to an article and has a passageway through which air can pass. The assembly further includes a valve body made from a flexible material defining a through bore, and having a wall with an inner annular indent. The assembly also includes an air block made from a rigid material. The air block has an outer wall with a flange provided on the outer wall, and a plurality of air holes and a central passageway. The flange is fitted inside the indent to attach the air block to the valve body. The assembly also has a valve flap having a disk and a shaft, with the shaft inserted through the central passageway of the air block.

Abstract: A spa pool assembly has a pool that has an enclosing wall defining an interior. The assembly further includes a jet nozzle unit removably coupled to the enclosing wall and positioned in the interior, the jet nozzle unit housing a plumbing system and at least one jet nozzle. The assembly further includes a control unit that houses a pump that is coupled to the jet nozzle unit. Alternatively, a pump unit is removably received inside a channel provided in the wall and has a jet nozzle that is directed at the interior of the pool when the pump unit is received inside the channel. The jet nozzle unit, the control unit, the pump unit and the pool are separate modular units that can be assembled together quickly and conveniently.

Abstract: A spa pool has an enclosing wall that has at least one inflatable chamber, and a plumbing system retained in the interior of the wall. The plumbing system includes a plurality of jet nozzles, and a plurality of hoses that couple the plurality of jet nozzles. The wall can have two openings that communicate the interior with the exterior of the spa pool, the two openings including a first opening coupled to an inlet for receiving water into the interior from a pump, and a second opening coupled to an outlet for delivering water from the interior to a pump.
