Shower apparatus, kit and method of using same

A shower stall kit, comprising:

• showerhead coupling means adapted to be disposed between a shower arm and a shower head and having a water source outlet and a water source inlet, wherein said water source outlet and said water source inlet are not in fluid communication with one another;
• sealed water chamber means adapted to be coupled to said shower head coupler means and having a side wall inlet and a top wall outlet wherein said side wall inlet and said top wall outlet are in fluid communication with one another through a volumetric space;
• and
• wherein said sealed water chamber means is further adapted to be coupled between said water source outlet and said water source inlet to help facilitate the even discharge of a source of water under pressure from said shower arm to said shower head through said volumetric space.

A method of using a shower stall kit, comprising:

• attaching a showerhead coupler between a shower arm and a showerhead, said showerhead coupler having a water source outlet and a water source inlet, wherein said water source outlet and said water source inlet are not in fluid communication with one another;
• attaching a sealed water chamber to said shower head coupler, said sealed water chamber having a side wall inlet and a top wall outlet wherein said side wall inlet and said top wall outlet are in fluid communication with one another through a volumetric space;
• and
• wherein said step of attaching includes:
• coupling said water source outlet to said side wall inlet;
• and
• coupling said top wall outlet to said water source inlet.

A kit for helping to facilitate the even discharge of a source of water under pressure from a shower arm to a showerhead, comprising:

• a water directing attachment for securing between the shower arm and the shower head to break the direct water flow path between the shower arm and the shower head, said water directing attachment having a fluid path from the shower arm to a water source outlet and another fluid path from the shower head to a water source inlet, wherein the water source outlet and the water source inlet are not in fluid communication with one another;
• a flexible thin walled bottle having a fluid receiving inlet and a fluid discharge outlet, said flexible thin walled bottle further having a sufficient volume capacity and a sufficient flexibility for helping to smooth out momentary fluctuations of water pressure changes from a source of water discharged into said bottle;
• a flexible conduit for establishing a water path from said water source outlet disposed at said water directing attachment to said fluid receiving inlet disposed at said thin walled bottle;
• another flexible conduit for establishing another water path from said fluid discharge outlet disposed at said thin walled bottle to said water source inlet disposed at said water directing attachment;
• and
• a sealing cap coupled to said another flexible conduit for sealing said flexible thin walled bottle from atmospheric pressure and for helping to extend said another water path to a volumetric space disposed within said bottle.

A showerhead compensator, comprising:

• a showerhead mount for supporting a showerhead in a position above an outlet source of fluid under pressure;
• a reservoir disposed below said outlet source, said reservoir having bottom floor, a reservoir inlet coupled to said outlet source, and a reservoir outlet;
• a closure for sealing said reservoir outlet to prevent the escape of air and water therefrom;
• an extender passing through said closure for providing a passageway into a volumetric space defined by said reservoir;
• said extender having a distal end disposed above said reservoir outlet and a proximal end disposed below said reservoir outlet, wherein the proximal end of said extender is disposed at about twice the distance from said bottom floor as said water inlet;
• a elongated coupler for extending a water tight passageway from the distal end of said extender to said showerhead to facilitate the discharge of water under pressure from said showerhead;
• wherein said water reservoir has a sufficient volume capacity for mixing water of substantially different temperatures to allow the different temperature waters to rapidly achieve an average water temperature for discharge to said showerhead;
• and
• wherein said closure and said reservoir outlet cooperate with one another to provide a air-tight seal to sufficiently compress any air captured above the proximal end of said extender to cause water flowing under pressure into said reservoir to be force out said water tight passageway and discharged by said showerhead.

A shower apparatus, comprising:

• a showerhead coupler disposed between a shower arm and a showerhead;
• said showerhead coupler having an incurrent fluid path and an excurrent fluid path wherein said incurrent fluid path and said excurrent fluid path are not in fluid communication with one another and wherein said incurrent fluid path and said excurrent fluid path include parallel segments for helping to maintain a substantially unmodified fluid discharge path from said showerhead;
• and
• a buffering arrangement for helping to make fluid fluctuations in an otherwise steady state flow of fluid along said excurrent fluid path unnoticeable to a showerhead user and for placing said incurrent fluid path and said excurrent fluid path in fluid communication with one another.
