Claim:
A handshower assembly, comprising: a handle adapted for connection to a water supply; a nozzle head assembly having an outer sleeve with an inner chamber, wherein the outer sleeve has an array of outlets running from the inner chamber to an outer radial face of the outer sleeve, the nozzle head assembly being connected to the handle; and an axially extending waterway positioned in the inner chamber, the waterway having an axially extending channel and at least two sets of radially extending orifices, the outer sleeve being rotatable relative to the waterway to concurrently move all of the array of outlets on the outer sleeve from a first position where the axially extending channel is in communication with a first group of radially extending outlets to a second position where the axially extending channel is in communication with at least some of the radially extending outlets that are not in the first group; wherein, when the handle is connected to the water supply, water can selectively be directed to deliver at least two different spray patterns from the array of outlets on the outer sleeve by rotating the outer sleeve between the first position and the second position.
