An apparatus having a housing with a water channel, for instance a laminar water flow, flowing there through. A pliant member is provided together with an at least one water input, an at least one filter member and an at least one jetting element. The pliant member is oriented within the housing and about the water channel to absorb surges from the input of water flowing in from the at least one water input.

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus comprising: a housing with a water channel flowing there through; a pliant member; an at least one water input; an at least one filter member; and an at least one jetting element, wherein the pliant member is a tubular structure surrounding the water channel oriented in and coextensive with the housing and oriented within the housing and such that it surrounds the water channel absorbing surges from the input of water flowing in from the at least one water input. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising an at least one lighting element. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the at least one lighting element further comprises an at least one lighting tube and an at least one light source. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising an at least one baffle member. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a controller. 6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the controller further comprises a control input, the control input triggering the generation of an energy pulse wave that enters the water channel and interrupts the laminar flow in the water channel. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the pliant member is comprised of at least one of an at least one closed cell foam material, a rubber compound, a PVC and rubber compound, air pillows, gel filled members, and foam. 8. A laminar flow water jet, comprising: a housing having a laminar flow water channel; an at least one water input admitting water into the water channel; a hollow pliant member located within the housing and surrounding the water channel and extending substantially the length of the water channel; an at least one filter member contained within the housing and interspaced within the water channel; and an at least one jet outlet, wherein water enters through the at least one water input and the water is made laminar with the pliant member accommodating any pressure variations while adding to the laminarity of the laminar water flow as it is passed through the housing to the jet outlet and ejected as a tube of laminar water. 9. The laminar flow water jet of claim 8, wherein the water admitted into the water channel has a direction of flow and the hollow pliant member surrounds the water channel, the water in the water channel passing within the hollow of the pliant member in the direction of flow. 10. The laminar flow water jet of claim 8, further comprising an at least one lighting element. 11. The laminar flow water jet of claim 10, wherein the at least one lighting element further comprises a lighting tube and an at least one light source. 12. The laminar flow water jet of claim 11, wherein the lighting source is an at least one light emitting diode. 13. The laminar flow water jet of claim 8, wherein an interior is defined by an at least one wall of the housing member and the pliant member abuts at least one of the at least one wall of the interior of the housing. 14. The laminar flow water jet of claim 8, further comprising an at least one baffle member. 15. The laminar flow water jet of claim 8, wherein the at least one water input further comprises two water inputs. 16.

The laminar flow water jet of claim 16, further comprising a coupling element for connecting the two water inputs to test for water soundness. 18. A laminar flow water jet, comprising: a housing having a laminar flow water channel; an at least one water input admitting water into the water channel;. an at least one filter member contained within the housing and interspaced within the water channel; a hollow pliant member having an outer wall, an inner wall, and a hollow space within the inner wall, the pliant member being interspaced with the at least one filter member and surrounding the water channel and extending substantially the length of the water channel; and an at least one jet outlet, wherein water enters through the at least one water input and the water is made laminar with the pliant member accommodating any pressure variations while adding to the laminarity of the laminar water flow as it is passed through the housing to the jet outlet and ejected as a tube of laminar water. 19. A method for improving laminarity in a water channel, comprising the method steps of: pumping a water stream into a water channel through a water input with a direction of flow; admitting the water stream into a housing; passing the water stream through the water channel along a hollow pliant member that is oriented in the direction of flow of the water channel and surrounds the interior of the housing oriented in and coextensive with the housing to accommodate pressure variations and to aid in making the flow laminar in the water channel; and jetting the water stream from the housing. 20. The apparatus of claim 18, further comprising an at least one baffle member. 21. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the lighting element is a lighting system and the lighting system is at least one of an at least one conventional incandescent, halogen, fiber optic, and LED lighting system. 22.
