Abstract: A filtering system for a spa or pool that includes a closed filtering tank which houses a filter having a filter body which receives a filter bag having a sheath encompassing the exterior of the filter body and a pocket extending inwardly from the front end of the sheath into the filter. An O-ring encircles the upper portion of the filter bag to releasably retain such bag to the filter body during operation of the spa water circulation system. A pump is provided to force water from the spa or pool into the filtering tank, through the filter body and back into the spa or pool.

Abstract: An adjustable headrest for a spa tub includes a housing defining a first recess for receiving a pillow for supporting the head of an occupant. A spa tub defines a second recess for slidingly receiving the housing. A positioning device, coupled to the housing and the recess of the spa tub, allows adjustment of the height of the housing relative to the spa tub. A front surface of the housing and the pillow lie flush with adjacent surfaces of the spa tub. The adjustable headrest further includes a water jet, mounted on the housing below the pillow, for directing water (but preferably not air to reduce splashing) under pressure towards the neck of the occupant. The direction of the water leaving the water jet can be adjusted.

Abstract: A combination adjustable jet valve for use in a spa, tub or the like, having a valve body and nozzle assembly which can be easily manipulated to adjust the water jet flow, aeration of the water jet and direction of the discharging water jet. A flush mounted control grip on the spa valve body can be rotated to vary the water jet from off to full flow positions. The valve nozzle can be pulled to an on position, allowing the valves venturi effect to draw air into the water flow and aerate the discharging water jet. Alternatively, the nozzle can be pushed into the off position such that air is no longer drawn into the water flow and the discharging water jet is no longer aerated. The nozzle is mounted into a ball socket type arrangement within the valve, allowing directional adjustment of the discharging water jet. Also disclosed is an embodiment where both the water and air are controlled through manipulation of the spa valve nozzle.
