Patent ID: 8689370

Claim:
A jet for a bathing system comprising: a jet body; a jet space partitioned within the jet body that allows aerated water to flow from a jet inlet to a jet outlet; a wheel space partitioned within the jet body with a water wheel disposed to rotate as unaerated water flows through the wheel space, the unaerated water received from a water wheel inlet and exiting through a water wheel outlet, the water wheel outlet directed toward an environment outside the jet body and the jet space, the water wheel outlet being uncoupled with the jet outlet and jet space; a water wheel control valve operably connected to the water wheel inlet to regulate flow rate of the unaerated water such that regulating flow rate of the unaerated water regulates rotation rate of the water wheel; a flow modifier operably connected to the water wheel, such that rotation of the water wheel rotates the flow modifier and induces a modification of the aerated water without changing flow rate of the aerated water that flows through the jet outlet; and a jet control valve operably connected to the jet inlet to regulate flow rate of the aerated water from the jet inlet to the jet outlet without changing flow rate of the unaerated water as the unaerated water flows from the water wheel inlet to the water wheel outlet.
