Abstract
A gas and liquid massage system for a tub comprises jets. Each jet has a gas injector and a liquid injector. The jets concurrently inject liquid and gas. A liquid circuit feeds a flow of liquid to the liquid injectors. A gas circuit feeds a flow of gas to the gas injectors. A sequencer manifold in the gas circuit selectively closes the gas supply to some of the jets to intermittently inject gas with the injected liquid. A massage system controller operates the sequencer manifold in selectively closing the gas supply to some of the jets. A method for injecting fluids into the liquid of the tub is also provided.
Claims15
A gas and liquid massage system for a tub, comprising:
- a plurality of jets each having a gas injector and a liquid injector for injecting concurrently liquid and gas;
- a liquid circuit for feeding a flow of liquid to the liquid injectors of the jets;
- a gas circuit for feeding a flow of gas to the gas injectors of the jets;
- a sequencer manifold in the gas circuit for selectively closing a gas supply to some of the jets to intermittently inject gas with the injected liquid;
- and
- a massage system controller for operating the sequencer manifold in selectively closing the gas supply to some of the jets.
A method for injecting fluids in the liquid of a tub of the type having a plurality of jets each having a gas injector and a liquid injector, comprising:
- supplying pressurized liquid to the liquid injector of each said jet;
- and
- simultaneously supplying pressurized gas to the gas injector of only a portion of the jets;
- whereby gas and liquid exit the jet concurrently into the liquid of the tub.
