Water driven roller massager

Abstract

A water driven massager mounted in an opening in the wall of a spa. The massager includes a main housing secured to the wall opening and extending outwardly from the wall (i.e., away from a spa user). A gear housing is mounted in the main housing and contains a drive mechanism rotationally connecting between a turbine and a rotating massager. The drive mechanism includes two in-series planetary gear sets for reducing Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) of the rotating massager. The rotating massager includes a plurality of rotating balls held in a ball plate residing proximal to the plane of a spa surface of the wall (i.e., the spa wall surface facing the user), and is covered by a boot providing a massager surface. The ball plate rotates at between 50 and 80 RPM thereby providing a rotating massage on the surface of the boot. The gear housing is easily removed through the wall opening for service and maintenance.
