Waterfall waterjet with spa sidewall mount

Abstract

A device for producing a waterfall comprising a waterfall waterjet with at least one chamber, at least one primary outlet, at least one debris outlet, a water source fluidly connected to the waterfall waterjet, a means of opening and closing the debris outlet, and a means of anchoring the waterfall waterjet to a spa.

1 . A device for producing an artificial waterfall comprising: 
 a) a waterfall waterjet including at least one chamber;    b) at least one inlet for water into the waterfall waterjet;    c) at least one primary outlet having an opening to pass water out of the waterfall waterjet; and    d) at least one attachment means for attaching the device to a sidewall of a spa,    wherein the device is attached to the sidewall of the spa via the inlet and the attachment means.    
   
   
       2 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the device is structured such that only the inlet and the attachment means are located on a dry side of the spa, with the remainder of the device being located within the spa.  
   
   
       3 . The device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the inlet and the attachment means are round and are installed through round holes cut in the sidewall of the spa.  
   
   
       4 . The device as claimed in  claim 3 , further comprising fastening means for fixing the device to the sidewall of the spa.  
   
   
       5 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the attachment means is a threaded post and the fastening means is a threaded nut that screws onto the threaded post.  
   
   
       6 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising two attachment means located on opposite sides of the inlet.  
   
   
       7 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein one or more baffles are positioned in the at least one chamber.  
   
   
       8 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the at least one chamber transiently collects the water and transfers the water through one or more baffles positioned in the at least one chamber to a second chamber, and the second chamber channels the water to and through the primary outlet.  
   
   
       9 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , further including a means of illuminating the waterfall.  
   
   
       10 . A device for producing an artificial waterfall in an artificial water structure, comprising: 
 a) a waterfall waterjet comprising a first chamber, a second chamber, a water inlet into the first chamber, a distribution slot fluidly connecting the first chamber to the second chamber, a divider separating the first chamber and the second chamber from each other, and at least one primary outlet;    b) a water source fluidly connected to the waterfall waterjet for allowing water to flow from the water source through the water inlet into the waterfall waterjet;    c) means for fastening the waterfall waterjet to the water structure; and    d) at least one debris outlet having at least one opening to pass water and debris out of the waterfall waterjet,    wherein the device is structured such that only the inlet and the means for fastening are located on a dry side of the spa, with the remainder of the device being located within the spa.    
   
   
       11 . The device as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the means for fastening cooperates with at least one attachment means for attaching the device to a sidewall of a spa.  
   
   
       12 . The device as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the inlet and the attachment means are round and are installed through round holes cut in the sidewall of the spa.  
   
   
       13 . The device as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein the attachment means is a threaded post and the means for fastening is a threaded nut that screws onto the threaded post.  
   
   
       14 . The device as claimed in  claim 13 , further comprising two attachment means located on opposite sides of the inlet and two means for fastening.  
   
   
       15 . The device as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the divider and the distribution slot cooperate whereby passage of the water from the first chamber to the second chamber through the divider more evenly distributes the water within the waterfall waterjet so as to create a more uniform waterfall.  
   
   
       16 . The device as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the primary outlet extends lengthwise across the majority of a length of the waterfall waterjet.  
   
   
       17 . The device as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the means of opening and closing the at least one debris outlet is movable back and forth from a first closed position wherein water and debris are prevented from passing out of the at least one debris outlet to a second open position wherein water and debris are allowed to pass out of the at least one debris outlet.  
   
   
       18 . The device as claimed in  claim 17 , wherein the means of opening and closing the at least one debris outlet is selected from the group consisting of variable apertures, rotating dials, pivoting bars, pivoting levers, sliding bars, sliding levers, and plugs.  
   
   
       19 . The device as claimed in  claim 18 , wherein there are two debris outlets.  
   
   
       20 . The device as claimed in  claim 19 , wherein the means of opening and closing the at least one debris outlet is a sliding bar.
