The water tank 10 is rectangular and filled with water. The deck 11 is fixedly connected to the water tank 10. The deck 11 has a water intake opening 12 corresponding to the position of the water intake pipe 20 and a return water opening 13 corresponding to the position of the return water pipe 25. Both the water intake opening 12 and the return water opening 13 can be rectangular open shapes.

The outlet of the detection pipe 23 is connected to the return water pipe 25, and the inlet of the water jet propulsion device 22 is connected to the water intake pipe 20. Both the water intake pipe 20 and the return water pipe 25 extend below the water level in the pool 10, thereby enabling water to be drawn from and drained from the pool 10.

[0026] The inlet diameter of the diffuser tube 232 is 0.5-0.6 times the outlet diameter.

[0027] A corrugated expansion joint 234 is installed between the transition straight pipe 233 and the first straight pipe 235 to avoid obstructing the water flow. The corrugated expansion joint 234 can extend and shorten to adapt to changes in outlet water pressure caused by different power inputs.

[0028] A butterfly valve 238 is provided between the second straight pipe 237 and the third straight pipe 239 to control the flow rate and cross-section within the second straight pipe 237.
