Abstract
A spa apparatus includes a basin for retaining fluid, a removable foot rest plate positioned within the basin, an impeller, and a motor coupled to the impeller to create a high pressure zone in the basin underneath the foot rest plate. The foot rest plate may be made of a plastic material. A seal is provided between the foot rest plate and the basin such that the seal is maintained even if the foot rest plate is deflected or distorted by the water pressure underneath it.
