The present invention relates to a spa sprayer, and more particularly to a fixing structure of the spa sprayer which is fixed and removed easily and quickly.
A foot spa tub has a conventional spa sprayer mounted on a peripheral wall thereof, and water is sprayed out of the conventional spa sprayer after being suctioned from the foot spa tub and being pressurized by the conventional spa sprayer. In addition, the water is swirled forcefully to enhance blood circulation and metabolism of feet of a user.
The conventional spa sprayer is mounted on fixing orifices of the peripheral wall of the foot spa tub by inserting bolts through the conventional spa sprayer and the fixing orifice of the peripheral wall, and the bolts are locked with nuts respectively. However, a size of the foot spa tub is too large to mount the conventional spa sprayer by two people. For example, the bolts are inserted through a front face of the foot spa tub by one person, and the nuts are locked with the bolts on a back face of the foot spa tub by another person, thus mounting the conventional spa sprayer on the foot spa tub troublesomely and increasing installation and maintenance costs.
