    Abstract: Spa systems may be used all year round and in colder weather provide an enjoyable experience for users through the cold ambient outdoor temperature and the heated water of the spa. However, failures in respect of the water circulating pump and/or heater of the spa system either mechanically, electrically or through overall power outages mean the water in the spa system and its pipework can easily freeze if ambient conditions are cold enough leading to cracks in the spa system or pipes and hence leaks when the water thaws requiring costly repair or replacement of components or entire systems. Accordingly, a freeze protection system is provided that uses a backup thermal management system discretely or in combination with other backup systems. These freeze protection systems offering backup when mechanical failures, electrical failures etc. arise by providing thermal input to the spa system through alternate thermal paths and providing alarms.

    Abstract: A muscle massaging assembly includes a leg ring which comprises a first half hingedly coupled to a second half such that the leg ring forms a closed loop to surround a user’s leg. A plurality of balls is each integrated into the leg ring to compress against the user’s leg when the leg ring is positioned around the user’s leg. A tensioning unit is movably integrated into the leg ring and the tensioning unit is in communication with the plurality of balls. Each of the plurality of balls is either urged away from the leg ring or toward the leg ring when the tensioning unit is either tightened or loosened. A pair of handles is each coupled to the leg ring and each of the handles can be gripped by the user for urging the leg ring upwardly and downwardly along the user’s leg.
