Abstract

A waterfall apparatus for producing an artificial waterfall having a waterfall apparatus including a chamber, an inlet for water into the waterfall apparatus, a primary outlet having an opening to allow water to flow out of the waterfall apparatus in a waterfall configuration, an attachment means for attaching the waterfall apparatus to a sidewall of a spa; and a removable baffle means located between the inlet and the outlet for more evenly distributing the water flowing out of the waterfall apparatus.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The present invention generally is in the field of devices for generating waterfalls, and more particularly is in the field of devices for generating aesthetically pleasing waterfalls in spas, swimming pools, tubs and the like. The present invention further relates to a more cost efficient design and installation system for waterfall apparatus in spas, swimming pools, tubs, and the like, that includes a removable baffle structure so that debris, sediment and deposits trapped inside or on the interior surface of the waterfall apparatus may be removed from the waterfall apparatus.[0003]2. Prior Art[0004]Few applications derive more benefit from the addition of waterfalls or fountains than artificial bodies of water such as spas, swimming pools, and tubs. The popularity of waterfalls and fountains in such structures is probably associated with the numerous aesthetic and practical applications that make waterfalls desirable. More...
