Patent number: 9151067Abstract: A method of attaching a cabinet assembly to a spa. The method includes providing a frame that has a channel that forms a perimeter. A spa is placed on the frame such that a flange or lip of the spa extends past the perimeter created by the channel. A plurality of slats are then secured between the flange of the spa and the channel of the frame in order to form a cabinet around the spa. The spa having a pan and a toe kick secured adjacent its bottom end.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2013Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: QUAD CITIES AUTOMATIC POOLS, INC.Inventor: Keith A. Hall

Patent number: 8084715Abstract: A control panel used in combination with a power unit to control the operation of a sauna. The control panel is equipped with a microprocessor that has software and proper circuitry to allow a user to use buttons to input information into the control panel regarding the time, temperature, and day on which heating within the sauna is to occur. Additionally, the power unit has a microprocessor with a pulse width modulation output that causes individual heating elements to continuously produce varying intensities of heat in order to maintain a consistent desired temperature, and/or intermittently radiate heat creating a wave of heat to be emitted by each individual heating element.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2006Date of Patent: December 27, 2011Assignee: Quad Cities Automatic Pools, Inc.Inventor: Keith A. Hall

Patent number: 5898958Abstract: The present invention relates to a control circuit for a whirlpool bath or pool. The control circuit is used to deliver water and/or air to outlet jets in a water-filled pool such as is typically used for hydrotherapy massage. The control circuit includes a pool with a water compartment, a plurality of air jets and water jets in the pool and in communication with the compartment. A water pump connects to the water jets. A rotary valve is interposed between the water pump and the water jets. The rotary valve can be rotationally operated to sequentially provide water to the water jets. Thus, a pattern or a wave can be established from the water jets. An air pump is also provided and connected to the air jets by a manifold and a three-way valve. The manifold is connected to the water jets by a plurality of conduits. Check valves are provided to prevent water from getting into the air system. The three-way valve allows air to be supplied and drawn into the water jets by venturi action.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 1997Date of Patent: May 4, 1999Assignee: Quad Cities Automatic Pools, Inc.Inventor: Keith A.

Patent number: 5897804Abstract: A control circuit for a sauna compartment has an electrical heater therein connected to a control circuit. The control circuit allows a high voltage to flow through a first heating circuit to permit ambient air in the compartment to reach a first high temperature, at which time voltage is provided to the heater only through the second heating circuit and thence to the heater so that the ambient air in the compartment will maintain said first high temperature to prevent a person in the sauna compartment from feeling immediately chilled when the first high temperature is reached and voltage through the first heating circuit ceases to move to the heater.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 1997Date of Patent: April 27, 1999Assignee: Quad Cities Automatic Pools, Inc.Inventor: Keith A.
