User-selectable multi-jet assembly for jetted baths/spas

A multi-jet assembly for jetted baths/spas comprising:

• a housing having an inlet for receiving a flow of water under pressure;
• a faceplate assembly rotatably connected to said housing and rotatable by a user between first and second user-selectable positions, said faceplate assembly having at least two nozzles of a first type and at least two nozzles of a second type;
• and
• a water distributor within said housing for directing water to said at least two nozzles of said first type when said faceplate assembly is in said first position and to said at least two nozzles of said second type when said faceplate assembly is in said second position, said water distributor interrupting flow to said nozzles when said faceplate assembly is in a position intermediate said first and second user-selectable positions and said water distributor having a valve plate in engagement with said faceplate assembly and rotatable therewith, said valve plate having an opening in registration with a water distribution tube when said faceplate assembly is in either of its user-selectable positions.

A multi-jet assembly for jetted baths/spas comprising:

• a housing having an inlet for receiving a flow of water under pressure and a water-receiving chamber within said housing;
• a water-distributing stator within said housing for distributing water into a plurality of distribution tubes;
• and
• a water-controlling rotor cooperating with said stator for selectively interrupting water flow through said plurality of distribution tubes as a function of the rotary position of said rotor relative to said stator;
• said water-controlling rotor including a faceplate assembly rotatably mounted in said housing and movable between first and second user-selected positions, said faceplate assembly having at least a first plurality of nozzles of a first type equal in number to said plurality of distribution tubes and a second plurality of nozzles of a second type therein equal in number to said plurality of distribution tubes, said rotor having a valve plate connected to said faceplate assembly and having a number of bores therein for movement in registration with said distribution tubes when said faceplate assembly is in a user-selected position and whereby rotation of said faceplate assembly and connected valve plate interrupts water flow to distribution tubes at positions intermediate said first and second user-selected positions.
