A crown portion has elastic sections and non-stretchable sections, open sections devoid of both elastic sections and non-stretchable sections for ventilation purposes, and a top and a bottom. The open sections include plural open sections closer to the top than to the bottom and plural open sections closer to the bottom than to the top. A circumferential portion has elastic sections and non-stretchable sections, a lower edge, a front, a back, a left side, and a right side. The circumferential portion adjacent to the lower edge is coupled to the bottom of the crown portion.

A submersible bilge pump is used within a tub to provide a Jacuzzi-type jet spray. A mounting assembly enables the bilge pump to be located below the water in the tub, yet the mounting assembly allows for effective mounting to the tub to provide the water jet type action. The mounting assembly also allows for the submersible bilge pump to be rotatably fastened to the tub to provide a whirlpool type action when desired.
