1. For use in conjunction with a fluid circulation pump in a tub or spa, a fluid suction fitting comprising:

  • a hollow body, having a perforated front wall, a perforated rear wall generally parallel with the front wall, and a circumferential wall joining the front and rear walls, for installation below fluid level in the tub or spa;

    a suction tube in fluid communication with the body, for coupling the body, through a wall of the tub or spa, to a circulating pump line; and

    means for mounting the hollow body such that it is held away from the wall, to permit water to flow through perforations in the rear wall, whereby the chance of complete blockage of the fitting is minimized by the presence of perforations in the rear wall.
