Thai T Ton

A jet for use in spas and hydrotherapeutic reservoirs having a first set of nozzles aligned in a plane at the water entrance side of the jet and a second set of nozzles aligned one-to-one with the first set of nozzles at the water exit side of the jet. A chamber separates the two sets of nozzles and includes a slot which is used to introduce air into the fluid stream. The amount of air introduced into the chamber is controlled by the user by rotating the jet within its housing from a maximum air intake position to a 'no-air' intake position, air being introduced through a slot surrounded by a rectangular seal structure. A housing is provided to mount the jet within the wall of a spa comprising a rear wall mounting, an end cap, and a front wall mounting. Water is introduced to the multiple jet structure via a single horizontal water inlet. The servicing of multiple jets by the single water inlet and air line improves plumbing reliability and further reduces labor by minimizing the number of plumbing joints.

Gatling jet

A portable spa including a cover having two rigidly molded, interlocking halves, designed to conform with the contour of the rim of the spa. The rim includes a vertical extension which interfits with an extrusion used to attach an interchangeable decorative vinyl-covered skirt about the side surface of the spa. The spa structure is supported by an integral molded bottom pan, which provides an upper edge or rim against which the lower edge of the skirt is secured.
