ABSTRACT:
A hand held apparatus particularly configured to derive maximum energy from a tap water supply (typically, .gtoreq.20 pounds per square inch) operating at a low flow rate (typically, .gtoreq.3.0 gallons per minute) to propel a discharge orifice along a travel path while discharging a water stream of sufficient intensity to impact a user's body to provide a pleasing massage. Preferred embodiments are characterized by a handle housing and a head housing mounted for relative movement with respect to one another for operating an internal mode selector valve. The selector valve directs the supplied tap water to either a hydromassage outlet or a shower spray outlet (e.g., continuous or pulsed spray).
