Abstract
A pump having a contactless, fluid sensor for dispensing a fluid to a setting and for use with a liner is disclosed. The pump includes a jet assembly, a motor assembly, and a contactless, fluid sensor. The pump may further include a mounting housing member, a gasket or seal, and a liner when a liner is not already present. The jet assembly is secured to or about the motor assembly. The jet assembly includes a jet assembly housing, and preferably also includes a printed circuit board (PCB), a PCB cover, a shaft assembly, and an impeller. The jet assembly housing includes a base, a top cover, an impeller-receiving chamber, at least one inlet aperture, and at least one outlet aperture. The present invention is also directed to a pump apparatus that includes a pump as described, a power source, and/or a control apparatus.
