Heated seating system for pools

Abstract

A heated seating system for integration within an in-ground pool is provided that selectively channels heated water from a source of heated water directly through one or more seating structures disposed within the pool. Heated water is selectively channeled to thus distribute the heated water through the seating about where individuals are designed to sit and/or recline. The seating areas receiving the heated water may be integrally formed with the pool or otherwise may be detachable therefrom. The seating may also be utilized with both fiberglass and concrete pools.

 a. an in-ground pool defining an interior pool surface;   b. a source of hot water coupled to said pool operative to deliver heated water to the interior pool surface via at least one outlet;   c. a seating member disposed within said interior surface of said pool and about said at least one outlet, said at least one seating member having at least one aperture formed thereon to define a flow pathway whereby said heated water is delivered from said outlet through said at least one aperture and into said pool interior.   
   
   
       2 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said at least one seating member is detachably fastenable to said pool interior.

       6 . The system of  claim 1  comprising a multiplicity of seating members and a multiplicity of outlets, each respective seating member being operatively positionable about a dedicated one of said outlets. 
   
   
       7 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said at least one seating member has a plurality of apertures. 
   
   
       8 . The system of  claim 6  wherein each respective one of said seating members has a plurality of apertures formed thereon. 
   
   
       9 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said seating member is configured as a stool. 
   
   
       10 . The seating system of  claim 1  wherein at least one seating member is fashioned as a bench.
