The invention comprises: a lower water inlet, an inner member, within an upper housing, suspended on a vertical axis within the lower water inlet. An inner member within the upper housing being free to revolve around a vertical axis and revolvably supporting; at least one nozzle assembly having at least one water inlet and an outlet jet and being supported on a horizontal axis. Means for variably tilting the nozzle assembly(ies) in a horizontal axis in accordance with the changing angular position of the nozzle around the central vertical axis when water pressure is introduced into the lower water inlet housing.
