Abstract
A system for distributing water flow between jet stations in a bathing system, such as a spa, is disclosed. The outlets of two pumps are connected together by a water supply line looped around the water containment. Jet stations are disposed along the supply line and water controllers that selectively block or allow water to flow are placed between the jet stations. By blocking the flow with a water controller, the flow to the jet stations is divided between the two pumps. The distribution of water supply of the jet stations can thereby be adjusted by selecting a water controller where the pump supply line is to be divided between the pumps.
