         5 . The spa apparatus as defined in  claim 2 , wherein the footrest structure is coupled to the top post section. 
     
     
         6 . The spa apparatus as defined in  claim 5 , wherein the footrest-hose combination device includes a button that facilitates adjusting the extension of the top post section from the hollow post upon actuating the button. 
     
     
         7 . The spa apparatus as defined in  claim 5 , wherein the footrest-hose combination device includes a footrest adjustable mechanism that can tilt the footrest structure towards or away from the basin. 
     
     
         8 . The spa apparatus as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the footrest-hose combination device includes a mounting structure that attaches the footrest-hose combination device to the basin structure. 
     
     
         9 . A footrest-hose combination device comprising:
 a hollow post that houses a top post section and an elongated tube that extends in and out of the hollow post;   a footrest structure that is coupled to the top post section; and   a hose fixture that is coupled to the elongated tube, wherein the footrest structure and the hose fixture can be adjusted to extend in and out of the hollow post.   
     
     
         10 . The footrest-hose combination device as defined in  claim 9 , further comprising a hose mounting structure that the hose fixture can be mounted thereon. 
     
     
         11 . The footrest-hose combination device as defined in  claim 9 , wherein the hollow post includes a button that facilitates adjusting the extension of the top post section from the hollow post upon actuating the button. 
     
     
         12 . The footrest-hose combination device as defined in  claim 9 , further comprising a footrest adjustable mechanism that is coupled to and can tilt the footrest structure upward and downward. 
     
     
         13 . The footrest-hose combination device as defined in  claim 9 , further comprising a mounting structure that attaches the hollow post to a basin structure. 
     
     
         14 . A spa apparatus comprising:
 a basin;   a basin structure that houses the basin; and   a footrest-hose combination device that is mounted on the basin structure in front of the spa apparatus, wherein the footrest-hose combination device includes a hollow post that houses a portion of a footrest structure and a hose fixture.   
     
     
         15 . The spa apparatus as defined in  claim 14 , wherein the hollow post houses a top post section and an elongated tube that extends in and out of the hollow post. 
     
     
         16 . The spa apparatus as defined in  claim 15 , wherein the hose fixture that is coupled to the elongated tube. 
     
     
         17 . The spa apparatus as defined in  claim 16 , wherein the footrest-hose combination device includes a hose mounting structure that the hose fixture can be mounted thereon. 
     
     
         18 . The spa apparatus as defined in  claim 15 , wherein the footrest structure is coupled to the top post section. 
     
     
         19 . The spa apparatus as defined in  claim 18 , wherein the footrest-hose combination device includes a button that facilitates adjusting the extension of the top post section from the hollow post upon actuating the button. 
     
     
         20 . The spa apparatus as defined in  claim 18 , wherein the footrest-hose combination device includes a footrest adjustable mechanism that can tilt the footrest structure towards or away from the basin.
