The present invention is directed to a portable spa having a tray for centralized mounting of the various spa components. More specifically, the invention provides a portable spa or hot tub that utilizes a mounting tray for connection of the various spa components, including the ozonator, heater, control panel, and electrical connection interface. The tray is mounted to a support frame within a cavity residing between the spa tub and enclosure formed from exterior panels. The tray includes an arrangement of bays, wherein each bay is specifically dimensioned to receive a particular spa component and secure the component in a force fit. The bay arrangement includes a first bay that receives an electrical connection interface box or junction box. The mounting tray also includes a second bay that receives the control panel, a third bay that receives an ozonator, and a fourth bay that receives a heater and valves. The fist through fourth bays are arrayed about a central portion that is recessed from a flange of the tray.

The present invention is directed to a portable spa comprising a shell having a plurality of seats and an arrangement of water jet assemblies. At least one overlay panel is removably secured to a portion of the shell by the jet assemblies, wherein the jet assemblies extend through both the overlay panel and the shell. In one embodiment, the overlay panel is secured to an upper portion of a seat. The upper portion of the seat has a receiver that is recessed from the outer surface of the seat and cooperatively dimensioned with the overlay panel. The jet assembly comprises a stem that extends through a shell opening and a panel opening. Each jet assembly includes a sealing element that engages the panel and the shell to seal the shell opening. The jet assembly also includes a securing element that provides a clamping force to secure the overlay panel against the shell. In an installed position, the overlay panel is secured against the receiver and the seat by at least one jet assembly that extends through both the panel and the shell.

The present invention is directed to a portable spa comprising a shell with an arrangement of seats, and a water pulsation system associated with one of the seats. The pulsation system includes a pump that supplies water to a primary manifold that has a plurality of discharge ports. A secondary manifold assembly is connected to each discharge port, and has both a valve and a plurality of discharge ports. A grouping of jets is associated with each secondary manifold assembly. Each jet grouping includes a plurality of jets wherein each jet is connected to the respective discharge port of the secondary manifold assembly. A module has a plurality of programmed operating modes that control the operation of the valves in the secondary manifold assembly for sequenced distribution of water from the jets. During operation of the pulsation system, the pump, the primary and secondary manifolds, and the module collectively interact to supply water to the various jet groupings whereby the jets discharge the water into the shell in a phased manner according to the operating mode. The phased discharge of water from the jets provides a “pulsing” application of water upon the user's body which increases the spa's therapeutic benefits.
