Claims12
A bathing system comprising:
- a shell molded to define a containment for containing water;
- a hollow molded in the shell extending upward from a base of the hollow;
- at least one fluid connector located near or at the base of the hollow and associated with a fluid supply system to supply fluid to the connector;
- a removable jet panel with a jet plate and at least one jet on the jet plate, the jet plate dimensioned and constructed to fit over the hollow and constructed such that when the removable jet panel is in an installed position in the hollow, the jet is disposed to inject fluid into the containment;
- the removable jet panel having at least one fluid port with fluid communication between the fluid port and at least one jet on the removable jet panel;
- the fluid port and the fluid connector disposed such that the fluid port and the fluid connector are connected when the removable jet panel is in the installed position to provide a fluid supply from the fluid supply, through the fluid connector and fluid port, to the jet.

A removable jet system comprising:
- a base;
- at least one fluid connector located near or at the base and associated with a fluid supply system to supply fluid to the connector;
- a removable jet panel with a jet plate and at least one jet on the jet plate, the jet panel constructed such that when the removable jet panel is in an installed position, the jet is disposed to release fluid;
- the removable jet panel having a fluid port with fluid communication between the fluid port and the jet on the removable jet panel;
- the fluid port and the fluid connector disposed such that the fluid port and the fluid connector are connected when the removable jet panel is in the installed position to provide a fluid supply from the fluid supply, through the fluid connector and port, to the jet.
2 more elements
A removable jet panel system for injecting fluid into a bathing system comprising:
- a removable jet panel with a jet plate and at least one jet on the jet plate, the jet panel constructed with a fluid port at or near its base, with fluid communication between the fluid port and the jet on the removable jet panel;
