A liquid distributor valve assembly in which an impeller means is disposed in a housing and is rotatable in the housing by the force of liquid entering the housing. A valve assembly is adapted to rotate in the housing in a manner to selectively control the flow of fluid through a plurality of outlets, and a gear arrangement selectively rotates the valve means in response to rotation of the impeller means.
