Introduction:
As a result of years of research and fine engineering, BWG introduces the Aqua-Fan Jet, an exciting new
sensation, into the hydro massage market. The patented jet derives its unique hydrotherapeutic massaging
action through the use of an oscillating wedge which converts the incoming stream of air/water mixture
into soothing, wave-like, pressure pulsations.

The Aqua-Fan Jet is to be located horizontally or vertically 4-18 inches below the water level on a flat wall

system with optional grouped or separate air/water combination.
