ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for boosting the flow energy of water in a showerhead comprising an air inlet port for providing ambient air; a water conduit for receiving water from a water supply source and at least one mixing chamber being in fluid communication with the water conduit and the air inlet port for receiving the water and the air. The at least one mixing chamber has a rearward opening which tapers towards a forward reduced portion such that the velocity of the water entering the opening is increased and such that the air is mixed with the water within the chamber to provide a turbulent mixture of air and water. The above described apparatus is completely contained within a showerhead or embodied as an adapter unit which may be installed between a water outlet pipe and a typical prior art showerhead.
