Abstract

A spa pool assembly has a pool having an enclosing wall and a base that together defines an interior. The base has a plurality of inflatable sections that are divided by a plurality of air passages that includes a first air passage that has a plurality of small bubble openings, and a second air passage that has a plurality of large bubble openings. The small bubble openings eject bubbles that are smaller in size than the bubbles ejected from the large bubble openings. The spa pool assembly can also include a bubble controller that controls the ejection of bubbles from the small bubble openings and the large bubble openings.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A portable spa pool assembly, comprising:
 a pool having an enclosing wall and a base that together defines an interior, the base having a plurality of inflatable sections that are divided by a plurality of air passages, wherein the plurality of air passages includes a first air passage that has a plurality of small bubble openings and a second air passage that has a plurality of large bubble openings, with the small bubble openings ejecting bubbles that are smaller in size than the bubbles ejected from the large bubble openings.   
     
     
         2 . The assembly of  claim 1 , further including a bubble controller that controls the ejection of bubbles from the small bubble openings and the large bubble openings. 
     
     
         3 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second air passages extend around a periphery of the base. 
     
     
         4 . The assembly of  claim 1 , further including an air hose that delivers air from outside the pool to the air passages, the air hose extending partially inside the enclosing wall and being coupled to a U-shaped section extending outside the enclosing wall at a vertical level that is higher than the top of the enclosing wall. 
     
     
         5 . The assembly of  claim 4 , further including first and second bubble hoses extending inside the enclosing wall and fluidly coupled to the first and second air passages, respectively. 
     
     
         6 . The assembly of  claim 4 , further including a bubble controller that controls the ejection of bubbles from the small bubble openings and the large bubble openings, with the bubble controller being part of the U-shaped section. 
     
     
         7 . The assembly of  claim 1 , further including:
 a water circulation control unit positioned outside the pool, the control unit having a first tubing coupled to the control unit and extending through the enclosing wall into the interior of the pool, and a second tubing coupled to the control unit and extending through the enclosing wall into the interior of the pool.   
     
     
         8 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the enclosing wall is inflatable. 
     
     
         9 . The assembly of  claim 5 , further including a bubble controller having a chamber to which the air hose, the first bubble hose and the second bubble hose are connected, the bubble controller including a dividing wall that divides the chamber to control the flow of air from the air hose into one or both of the bubble hoses. 
     
     
         10 . A method of jetting bubbles into a spa pool, comprising:
 providing a pool having having a first air passage that has a plurality of small bubble openings and a second air passage that has a plurality of large bubble openings;   ejecting a first type of bubbles from the small bubble openings; and   ejecting a second type of bubbles from the large bubble openings, with the first type of bubbles being smaller in size than the second type of bubbles.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , further including:
 ejecting the first and second type of bubbles from a base of the pool.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10 , further including:
 providing a base in the pool, with the base divided into sections by the air passages.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 10 , further including:
 manipulating a bubble control to shut off the ejection of either the first type of bubbles or the second type of bubbles.
