Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional spa pools are not portable and require complex disassembly and reassembly, making them difficult to move and use in different locations, with plumbing systems that can be challenging to connect and prone to leaks.
Innovation Solution
A modular portable spa pool design with separate inflatable sections, jet nozzle assemblies, and a bubble control system that allows for easy assembly and disassembly without special tools, minimizing leak points and enabling separate control of each nozzle, along with a simple water circulation system that prevents backflow.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional spa pools are designed with fixed plumbing systems and multiple nozzles connected by tubing, then the spa pool can provide jet nozzle functionality, but the complexity of assembly and disassembly increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The spa pool is divided into modular sections with integrated pump units that contain built-in nozzles. Each module is self-contained with its own plumbing, eliminating the need for complex external tubing connections between multiple nozzles. This segmentation allows users to simply connect modules together without dealing with intricate plumbing assembly.
2Reliability
If conventional spa pools use multiple tubing connections to link nozzles to the pump, then jet functionality is achieved, but the risk of leaks and malfunction increases
Solution Approach 1:
The nozzle assembly is merged with the pump unit into a single integrated component. This eliminates the separate tubing connections that link nozzles to the pump, thereby removing multiple potential leak points. The integrated design ensures that water flows directly from the pump through internal channels to the nozzles without external connections.
3Adaptability or versatility
If conventional spa pools are designed for portability with simplified plumbing, then ease of movement improves, but the functionality and control over jet sprays may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The spa pool is divided into modular sections that can be easily assembled and disassembled for portability. Each module contains integrated pump and nozzle units that maintain full functionality. The modular design allows the spa to be transported to different locations while preserving complete control over jet sprays through individual module operation.
Solution Approach 2:
Each modular pump unit is equipped with independent controls that allow dynamic adjustment of jet spray characteristics. Users can control the intensity, direction, and operation of each nozzle independently, even in the portable modular configuration, maintaining full versatility and adaptability.

AI summary
A spa pool assembly has a pool having an enclosing wall and a base that together defines an interior. The base has a plurality of inflatable sections that are divided by a plurality of air passages that includes a first air passage that has a plurality of small bubble openings, and a second air passage that has a plurality of large bubble openings. The small bubble openings eject bubbles that are smaller in size than the bubbles ejected from the large bubble openings. The spa pool assembly can also include a bubble controller that controls the ejection of bubbles from the small bubble openings and the large bubble openings.
