Abstract:
1. A portable spa pool assembly, comprising: a pool having a planar base and a vertical enclosing wall extending from the base, the base and enclosing wall together defining an interior, the enclosing wall having an interior surface; the base having a peripheral edge, and a plurality of inflatable sections that are divided by two perpendicular air passages that intersect each other, the perpendicular air passages surrounded by a circumferential passage that extends around the peripheral edge of the base and which spaces the inflatable sections from the enclosing wall, with the perpendicular air passages and the circumferential air passages communicating with each other; a plurality of jet nozzle assemblies, with each jet nozzle assembly removably coupled to the interior surface of the wall, each jet nozzle assembly having a jet nozzle; a liner made of a meshed material that covers the surfaces of the base and the enclosing wall, the liner having holes that are aligned with the passages to allow air from the passages to flow therethrough; an air bubble generator that is positioned exterior to the pool; and an air hose having a first end that is connected to the air bubble generator and extends through the liner into the interior of the pool to a second end which fluidly communicates with one of the passages; wherein air is introduced via the air hose to the passages, circulates through the passages, and then exits through the meshed material and the holes provided on the base and the liner to the interior of the pool.
