Hydrotherapy jet with an extendable/retractable outlet

An extendable/retractable hydrotherapy jet system, comprising:

• a jet body;
• a water inlet to said body;
• a water nozzle within said body for forming water flowing through said inlet into a stream;
• an elongate water outlet having retracted and extended positions with respect to said body, said outlet extending from said body to said extended position in response to a stream of water from said nozzle and returning to said retracted position when the stream of water stops, said outlet having a plurality of segments, at least one of which rotatable about adjacent segments to direct the flow of water from said outlet.

A system for providing a hydrotherapy jet to a reservoir of water, comprising:

• a reservoir shell capable of holding water;
• a plurality of extendable/retractable hydrotherapy jets mounted around the reservoir shell;
• a water pump system that circulates water from said reservoir to said jets;
• each of said jets having an outlet providing a stream of water when said water pump is operated, said outlet extending into said spa shell in response to a stream of water and retracting when the stream of water stops, each of said jets comprises:
• a jet body;
• a water inlet to provide circulating water to said body;
• a water nozzle within said body for forming water flowing through said inlet into a stream;
• and
• said outlet housed within said body to discharge a stream of water from said nozzle into said reservoir;
• each said outlet having a plurality of segments, each of which are rotatable about adjacent segments to direct the flow of water into said reservoir.
