Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8707499A1] An instant hydro-massage machine (12) in which the selectively-controlled shower heads (50) are attached by short pipe nipples (51) to the piping manifolds (48) strategically located inside the shower room. The pulsating, swirling streams of water jets coming out of these series and parallel shower heads (50) can be simultaneously directed to cover and massage the body giving instant, enjoyable and exhilirating pleasure to the user. After massaging the body, the water drips down and is collected by the tub (28) and the surrounding walls (15) of the enclosure (14), then drains to the water tank (16) below. The recirculating pump (32), connected to the tank (16) by a piping system, sucks the water through the filter (26) and suction pipe (24), pressurizing it and discharging it through the main pipe header (38), the subheaders (46), the pipe manifolds (48) and thereby jetting it out of the selectively controlled shower heads (50) with pulsating/continuous streams of fluid jets that produce instant massage. Instrumentation provides control to suit individual satisfaction.
