    Subject: oxijet water nozzle

    A suggestion from someone in the UI physics department.

    The Felton Oxijet™ volumises the stream with air giving you a more luxurious shower.

    Traditional flow restrictors work by simply reducing flow and pressure, whereas the Oxijet™ uses flow energy to draw air into the water stream.
