Abstract: The present invention provides a spa comprising a spa wall, a bar top region disposed on top of the spa wall, a cup holder disposed in the bar top region and a thermoelectric module for cooling the bar top region so that a beverage disposed within the cup holder remains cool, wherein the thermoelectric module is in thermal contact with the bar top region

Abstract: The present invention provides a spa comprising a spa area for a spa user and a thermoelectric module providing localized cooling for the spa user in the spa area, wherein the spa includes a spa wall and the thermoelectric module is substantially in contact with an outside surface of the spa wall adjacent to the spa area. The thermoelectric module is disposed substantially behind the back of the user when the user is in the spa area such that the thermoelectric module is maintains the spa user's torso at a lower temperature than that of the user's extremities.

Abstract: A curvilinear spa shell includes a top edge defining four rounded concave corners and four convex side walls in a “clover leaf” like arrangement. Each rounded corner has a radius that exceeds twelve inches. The top edge is substantially symmetrical about an axes that extend through the center of opposing side walls as well as through the center of opposing corners. The curvilinear spa shell can accommodate a water feature for generating a pleasing rushing water sound. The water feature includes a ridge in an interior area of the spa and having a top disposed near a water line of the spa. The water feature utilizes a water inlet adjacent to the ridge opposite a main body of water area in the interior area. The water inlet is placed lower than the top of the ridge. The water feature also includes a slope descending from the top of the ridge in the direction of the water inlet.

Abstract: An apparatus for producing a water feature in a spa/pool/hot-tub (“spa”) is disclosed. The apparatus includes a flume developer having internal dimensions that generate a water pressure from a water flow received from a water source associated with the spa. The flume developer further includes a head assembly having one or more apertures through which the water feature is produced based on the water pressure. The flume developer further includes a flange configured to abut against an outer surface of the spa. The flume developer is interchangeable in a water feature device body connected to the water source. A light source can be provided to illuminate the water feature.

Abstract: A gasket for a spa shell includes a body formed of an at least partially translucent material. The gasket includes a top ring configured to abut a top surface of the spa shell and a bottom ring configured to abut a bottom surface of the spa shell. In one embodiment, the gasket includes an indentation configured to receive light from a light source for transmission through the body. The gasket may be formed with an elastomer.

Abstract: A water feature for a spa having a water jet is provided by a water feature attachment. The attachment includes a water feature module having at least one water outlet configured to generate a dynamic water feature such as a fountain. The attachment further includes an attachment mechanism connected to the water feature module and configured for detachable connection to the water jet. A light source can be provided to illuminate the water feature.

Abstract: A spa control system controlled by an infrared beam. In one implementation, the spa control system has a sender device located at a target sender area of spa shell, and a receiver device located at a target receiver area of a spa shell. The system includes receiver electronics associated with the receiver device, in which the receiver electronics are configured to transmit a signal when a path of the infrared beam is interrupted. The system also includes one or more control units of the spa to receive the signal, and to adjust a function of the one or more control units according to the signal received.
