ABSTRACT:
A recirculating bathtub having a single manifold extending along each side of the tub to supply water from a pump and aspirated air to a plurality of tub inlets. Each manifold comprises integrally molded, preferably blow-molded, air and water conduits isolated from one another except at nozzle housings integrally formed in the water conduit and vented to the air conduit. A nozzle is positioned in each housing and is sealed in the housing to receive water from the water conduit and air from the air conduit. The integrally formed conduits and nozzle housings eliminate the need for clamped or welded joints, and it is unnecessary to drill or open the manifolds for nozzle installation or air passage. The pump and the manifolds are self-draining into the tub when the tub is emptied.
