Claim:
A water return fitting that connects to a water return line of a swimming pool, spa, or the like and comprising: a nozzle having a vertical back plate with a water inlet hole and wherein a curved shell protrudes from said vertical back plate and terminates at a flat flange that surrounds a small outlet hole and faces a downward direction acutely angled relative to a horizontal; a mixing shell having a vertical back plate with a back hole and wherein a curved surface protrudes from said vertical back plate and terminates at a large outlet hole that faces in substantially the same direction as said small outlet hole; a plurality of louvers on said curved surface of said mixing shell; a mixing chamber formed directly underneath said louvers and within said mixing shell; a lock nut having a large hole that is centrally located; a tubular connector having a front end and a back end and that is in fluid communication with said water return line; wherein said nozzle is inserted through said back hole of said mixing shell until said vertical back plate of said nozzle abuts said vertical back plate of said mixing shell and wherein said mixing shell is inserted through said large hole of said lock nut that is then attached to said front end of said tubular connector; whereby water from said water return line flows through said back end of said tubular connector then through said water inlet hole of said nozzle and collides with said curved shell of said nozzle and with said flat flange of said nozzle such that said water accumulates within said nozzle until said water is pushed through said small outlet hole of said nozzle; and whereby said water pushed out of said small outlet hole of said nozzle creates a low pressure condition within said mixing chamber that draws pool water through said louvers into said mixing chamber.
