The invention claimed is: 1. A cap assembly for conveying air into the interior of a container and water from the interior of the container, the cap assembly comprising a valve moveable from a first position, in which the cap assembly is closed, to a second position, in which the cap assembly is open to permit the flow of air and water through the cap assembly, the cap assembly further comprising at least two outlets through which the air and water exit the container when the cap assembly is open, wherein the outlets are offset with respect to one another in a direction along the longitudinal axis of the cap assembly and the outlets comprise an inlet side and an outlet side and have at least one side wall which tapers outwardly from the inlet side to the outlet side. 2. The cap assembly of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the outlets is bean shaped. 3. The cap assembly of claim 2 , wherein at least two of the outlets are bean shaped. 4. The cap assembly of claim 1 , wherein the outlets are offset by at least 1 mm. 5. The cap assembly of claim 4 , wherein the outlets are offset by at least 3 mm. 6. The cap assembly of claim 5 , wherein the outlets are offset by at least 5 mm. 7. The cap assembly of claim 1 , wherein the outlets are evenly angularly spaced about the longitudinal axis. 8. The cap assembly of claim 1 , wherein the cross sectional area of each outlet is less than 10 mm 2 . 9. The cap assembly of claim 8 , wherein the cross sectional area of each outlet is less than 8 mm 2 .
