Abstract

A household-type spa is presented which is based upon one single, major mold for manufacturing the water-containing vessel. The spa has attachment points over its walls and floor for mounting furniture such as benches and bucket seats. All furniture, regardless of type, has mounting points which correspond to those in the spa walls. Also, water and water/air jets can be directed from the spa walls outward to the person in a given seat which is spaced some distance from the spa wall, itself. The result is a spa concept which allows customers to chose a large variety of seating arrangement and jet-effect arrangements, all for a single vessel wall design.
