Patent ID: 10688505

Abstract:
There is provided a swim-in-place spa, comprising a basin for containing water, a circulation subsystem having a primary conduit extending from an inlet in the basin, a pump fluidly connected to the primary conduit to pump water from the inlet, a swim-in-place jet affixed to the basin, and a secondary conduit extending from the pump to the swim-in-place jet, in operation the pump inducing a flow of water toward the swim-in-place jet. The swim-in-place jet has a nozzle and a diffuser downstream of the nozzle relative to the flow of water, a nozzle outlet smaller than a diffuser inlet, the nozzle outlet and the diffuser inlet disposed in a spaced-apart relationship defining a gap for receiving a flow of entrained water. The circulation subsystem is configured for creating a water jet matching a cross-section of a swimmer.
