  • Patent number: 6685843
    Abstract: An internal spa filter for a spa, having a filter body with an inlet opening at its one end and a discharge orifice at its opposite end, the sides of such body are formed with auxiliary spa water inlet openings. The filter also includes 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 body from the main spa water inlet opening. Operation of the spa water circulation system draws spa water into the main spa water inlet opening through the filter bag pocket into the filter body while concurrently spa water is drawn transversely through the filter bag sheath and auxiliary spa water openings into the filter body, all of such spa water flows rearwardly out of the filter body through the filter body discharge orifice.

  • Patent number: 5665228
    Abstract: A mixing system for introducing ozone into water of a hydrotherapy spa includes filter for filtering water from said hydrotherapy spa. A pump draws water from said hydrotherapy spa through said filter. A first injector includes a first input for receiving filtered water from said filter, a second input for receiving ozone, and an output for providing a first mixture of ozone in solution with said filtered water and ozone not in solution with said filtered water. A recapturing unit, coupled to said output of said first injector, separates said ozone not in solution with said filtered water from said first mixture. A second injector, having a first input coupled to said recapturing unit, a second input coupled to said filter, and an output, provides a second mixture of said ozone not in solution with said filtered water and said filtered water at said output of said second injector means.
