Claim 0:
1. In an inductive power coupling for powering a pool or spa component, the inductive power coupling having a first inductive coupling connected to a first power cable and a second inductive coupling connected to a second power cable and inductively coupled to the first inductive coupling, the first inductive coupling inductively transferring electricity to the second inductive coupling, the improvement comprising:
a swivel component allowing said second inductive coupling and said second power cable to swivel with respect to said first inductive coupling and a retainer ring configured to be removably secured within an opening in a wall of a pool or spa and including a surface facing a lateral face of the swivel component, the retainer ring retaining the first and second couplings and the swivel component in position within the wall of the pool or spa, wherein the swivel component includes: (i) an inner component having an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface of the inner component attached concentrically about a cylindrical outer surface of a housing of the second inductive coupling, and (ii) an outer component having an inner surface and an outer surface, the outer surface of the outer component attached to an inner surface of a wall fitting of the pool or spa, the outer component of the swivel component positioned concentrically about the inner component of the swivel component and the inner component of the swivel component positioned concentrically about the second inductive coupling, the outer component of the swivel component rotating with respect to the inner component of the swivel component to permit the second inductive coupling to swivel with respect to the first inductive coupling.
