Abstract:
1. An improved pool/bath tub providing automatic and pre-set filling, cleaning and scrubbing functions, comprising in combination: a pool/bath tub structure having side walls and a bottom wall; hot and cold water valves to control the dispensing of hot and cold water into said pool/bath tub; a plurality of dispensing tanks associated with said pool/bath tub structure and in fluid communication therewith, each of said dispensing tanks containing a segregated ingredient for dispensing into said pool/bath tub; a pool/bath tub control means electronically interconnected to said dispensing tanks for controlling the dispensing of said segregated ingredients into said pool/bath tub and interconnected to said hot and cold water valves for controlling the filling of said pool/bath tub with hot and cold water; a drain plug system incorporated in said pool/bathtub for automatically draining and filling said pool/bath tub, and at least one readout control panel associated with said pool/bathtub control means, said readout control panel containing all data relating to dispensing segregated ingredients into said pool/bath tub in a programmed manner, and being in electronic communication with said drain plug system automatically affecting the alternately draining and filling of said pool/bath tub, whereby said control means may be programmed by said readout control panel to control the filling of said pool/bath tub with hot and cold water and dispensing any one of said segregated ingredients into said pool/bath tub as desired by the operator, said drain plug system includes control means for automatically draining and filling said pool/bath tub, said control means being electronically interconnected to said hot and cold water means to control the filling and draining of said pool/bath tub, and said control means including a user readout panel to display all program data therein and allow a user to select and control all filling and dispensing functions contained in said readout control panel incident to the use of said pool/bath tub, wherein said pool/bath tub includes a scrubber system for placement in said pool/bath tub to perform a cleaning and scrubbing function relative to said pool/bath tub; said scrubber system including means for effecting the movement of said scrubber system with said pool/bath tub, said scrubber system further provided with control means electronically interconnected to said scrubber system for controlling the cleaning and scrubbing operation of said scrubber system; and said control means being electronically interconnected to said pool/bath tub control in order to permit said readout control panel to accept programmed data for the cleaning and scrubbing operation and permit the operator to program and control the cleaning and scrubbing operation and review such data on the user readout control panel.
