Foot spa tub pump and method

A foot spa tub, comprising:

• a tub basin;
• a drive motor;
• a first magnetic drive member rotatably coupled to said drive motor;
• a first casing supporting said first magnetic drive member, said first casing disposed against an exterior surface of a sidewall of said tub basin;
• a flow inducing member having at least one blade;
• a second magnetic drive member rotatably coupled to said flow inducing member, said first and second magnetic drive members magnetically coupled so that said flow inducing member is drivingly coupled to said drive motor;
• a nozzle housing said second magnetic drive member and said flow inducing member;
• a locking assembly operably associated with said nozzle for locking said second magnetic drive member and said flow inducing member in said nozzle;
• and
• a fixation assembly for detachably securing said nozzle to said sidewall having a first portion affixed to an interior surface of said sidewall and a second portion associated with said nozzle, said first and second portions cooperating to prevent movement of the nozzle with respect to the sidewall, wherein said first portion comprises at least one depression and said second portion comprises at least one projection, said at least one depression is formed into a plate which is attached to the sidewall of said tub basin.
