When the water is turned on, the water flows through the basin rinsing device. The water is able to pass through the basin rinsing device in one mode or cause the basin rinsing device to rotate and spray water in a second mode. The nozzles are angled so that that the sprayed water strikes the surface of a basin and facilitates removal of debris and dirt. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A device for rinsing basins comprising: a connector adapted to connect the device to a plumbing fixture; a propulsion unit adapted to direct water passing through the device in at least two directions; and a housing for the propulsion unit having at least one nozzle adapted to direct water in a circumferential direction from the housing to a surface of a basin, wherein directing water in the circumferential direction rotates the housing. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The device for rinsing basins of claim 1, comprising a wheel having a plurality of curved blades adapted to rotate the wheel when water strikes a surface of at least one of the curved blades. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The device for rinsing basins of claim 1, further comprising a bearing seat operably connected to the propulsion unit. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The device for rinsing basins of claim 1, wherein a direction that the at least one nozzle is directed to when the device is connected to the plumbing fixture is adjustable. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The device for rinsing basins of claim 1, wherein the at least one nozzle is one of a plurality of nozzles. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The device for rinsing basins of claim 1, wherein pulling of the device in a direction towards the surface of the basin changes alignment of holes through which the water flows. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The device for rinsing basins of claim 1, wherein twisting of the device in a circumferentially horizontal direction with respect to the surface of the basin changes alignment of holes through which the water flows. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The device for rinsing basins of claim 1, wherein the device is adapted to permit water to flow through without passing through the at least one nozzle. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The device for rinsing basins of claim 1, wherein the at least one nozzle is one of a plurality of nozzles and each of the plurality of nozzles is equidistantly spaced from each adjacent nozzle. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The device for rinsing basins of claim 1, wherein the at least one nozzle is adapted to rotate around an axis passing through a center of the device. ### Claim 11 A device comprising: a propulsion unit adapted to direct water passing through the device in at least two directions; and a housing for the propulsion unit having at least one nozzle adapted to direct water in a circumferential direction from the housing to a surface of a basin, wherein directing water in the circumferential direction rotates the housing. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The device of claim 11, wherein the propulsion unit comprises a plurality of blades arranged in a substantially circular arrangement adapted to rotate when water strikes a surface of at least one of the plurality of blades. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The device of claim 11, further comprising a bearing seat operably connected to the propulsion unit. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The device of claim 11, wherein a direction of any of the plurality of nozzles when the device is connected to a plumbing fixture is adjustable. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The device of claim 11, wherein the device is adapted to be connected to more than one type of plumbing fixture. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The device of claim 11, wherein pulling of the device in a direction towards the surface of a basin changes alignment of holes through which the water flows. ### Claim 17 (depends on 11) The device of claim 11, wherein twisting of the device in a circumferentially horizontal direction with respect to the surface of a basin changes alignment of holes through which the water flows. ### Claim 18 (depends on 11) The device of claim 11, wherein the device is adapted to permit water to flow through without passing through any of the plurality of nozzles. ### Claim 19 (depends on 11) The device of claim 11, wherein each of the plurality of nozzles is equidistantly spaced from each other adjacent one of the plurality of nozzles. ### Claim 20 (depends on 11) The device of claim 11, wherein the at least one of the plurality of nozzles is adapted to rotate around an axis passing through a center of the device.
