  • Patent number: 12044033
    Abstract: A low profile spa jet having a structure allowing for the use of a jet housing for both threaded/nut and grommet installation, wherein the jet protrudes into the spa tub less than 0.5?. The low profile spa jet also can have a jet face/flange that is interchangeable between threaded and grommet jet bodies without changing the relationship to the spa wall, wherein the jet protrudes the same amount in the installed state for both styles of jet body. The low profile spa jet also can have a jet face/flange that is removable and/or interchangeable before and after the jet body and jet internal are installed in the spa.

  • Patent number: 11905728
    Abstract: A multi-weir door assembly is coupled to a skimmer body near a front entrance of the skimmer body such that a flow of water received in the front entrance is incident on a front side of the multi-weir door assembly. The multi-weir door assembly comprises multiple weir doors that are rotationally coupled to the skimmer body by at least a first hinge assembly. Each of the weir doors has a respective buoyancy, and at least first and second weir doors of the multiple weir doors have first and second buoyancies that are different from one another such that the flow of water incident on the multi-weir door assembly affects the first and second weir doors differently in terms of an angular degree to which the incident flow of water causes the first and second weir doors to rotate about first and second axes of rotation, respectively.
