1 - 14 . (canceled)  
   
   
       15 . A water vessel, the improvement comprising: 
 a housing assembly having a mounting surface for providing a flush mount to the inside surface of the tub;    said housing assembly having an input orifice and an output orifice, and a shape to enable drainage;    said input orifice having a vertically oriented faceplate;    an ion generator located adjacent to said faceplate or attached to said faceplate;    said ion generator releasing ions into water having a high velocity water flow, whereby said water is directly induced into a suction line of the whirlpool bathtub leading to the water pump; and    wherein said ions inhibits growth of a microorganism in the water vessel during water vessel use or between whirlpool bathtub usages.    
   
   
       16 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the housing assembly further comprises a non-electric cavitation port to shut down a suction force of the pump if the faceplate screen is removed.  
   
   
       17 . The apparatus of claim  1 S, wherein the housing assembly further comprises a non-electric cavitation port to shut down a suction force of the pump if said input orifice is blocked.  
   
   
       18 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the housing assembly further comprises a filter located adjacent to said faceplate.  
   
   
       19 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the faceplate further comprises a chemical dispenser.  
   
   
       20 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the housing assembly further comprises an electric shut off mechanism to shut down a suction force of the pump if the faceplate screen is removed or said input orifice is blocked.  
   
   
       21 . The apparatus of  claim 15  further comprising a skimmer to intake a low velocity water flow at the fill line of the tub.  
   
   
       22 . The apparatus of  claim 15  further comprising a screen mechanism to prevent debris from the tub from flowing into the output jets and entering the closed loop piping system.  
   
   
       23 . A water vessel, the improvement comprising: 
 a housing assembly having a mounting surface for providing a flush mount to the inside surface of the tub;    said housing assembly having an input orifice and an output orifice, and a shape to enable drainage;    said input orifice having a vertically oriented faceplate;    an ion generator located adjacent to said faceplate or attached to said faceplate;    said ion generator having an anode and a cathode;    a power supply that provides current;    said ion generator releasing ions into water having a high velocity water flow, whereby said water is directly induced into a suction line of the whirlpool bathtub leading to the water pump; and    wherein said ions inhibits growth of a microorganism in the water vessel during water vessel use or between whirlpool bathtub usages.    
   
   
       24 . The apparatus of  claim 23 , further having a chemical dispenser located adjacent to said faceplate or attached to said faceplate.  
   
   
       25 . The apparatus of  claim 23 , further having a filter located adjacent to said faceplate.  
   
   
       26 . A water vessel, the improvement comprising: 
 a housing assembly having a mounting surface for providing a flush mount to the inside surface of the tub;    said housing assembly having an input orifice and an output orifice, and a shape to enable drainage;    said input orifice having a vertically oriented faceplate;    an ion generator located adjacent to said faceplate or attached to said faceplate;    said ion generator having an anode and a cathode;    a power supply that provides current;    a current limited device that limits current to electrodes;    said ion generator releasing ions into water having a high velocity water flow, whereby said water is directly induced into a suction line of the whirlpool bathtub leading to the water pump; and    wherein said ions inhibits growth of a microorganism in the water vessel during water vessel use or between whirlpool bathtub usages.    
   
   
       26 . The apparatus of  claim 25 , fturther having a chemical dispenser located adjacent to said faceplate or attached to said faceplate.  
   
   
       27 . The apparatus of  claim 25 , further having a filter located adjacent to said faceplate.  
   
   
       28 . The apparatus of  claim 26 , said chemical chamber having a single chemical release opening.
