A hydrotherapy jet system has a segmented outlet that extends from the jet body in response to a water flow through the jet and retracts when the flow stops. Water flows into the jet body, where it is directed into a nozzle that tapers to accelerate the water into a venturi jet that can then be aerated if desired. The water then enters the segmented outlet, which is urged to a retracted position within the jet body by a spring. The pressure from the water causes the outlet to extend from the jet housing against the spring pressure, compressing the spring. When extended, the outlet provides a stream of warm or aerated water to a reservoir such as a spa, pool or bathtub and the outlet can be manipulated to direct the stream. When the flow of water is stopped the spring expands and causes the outlet to retract into the jet body.

The system includes a jet, a rotating member or &ldquo;eyeball&rdquo; housing a series of discharge nozzles that can be adjusted to vary the location of an outlet flow stream as well as the direction and speed of the eyeball's rotation. A high pressure water jet flows into the eyeball and exits through the discharge nozzles. Depending upon the adjustable orientation of the nozzles, relative to the rest of the eyeball, the eyeball can be rotated clockwise or counter-clockwise, and at varying speeds. The discharge nozzles are further positionable to permit them to be displaced in a common direction.
