Means (9, 12, 13) for removably superimposing and fixing a water container (10) on said chamber (16) are provided. A float (17) is accommodated in said chamber and provided at the top with a shutter pin (19) engageable with said orifice (20) and disengageable therefrom according to the level of water in said chamber (16). A dripping device (24) is removably inserted into said opening (22) to allow the water to drip one drop at a time, and a substantially ogive-shaped delivery plug (27) is removably fixed at the lower end (26) of said vertically extending body (15). The delivery body (17) is provided with a terminal trap (28) for collecting the water falling from the dripping device (24) and with small lateral holes (29) for transferring the water collected in said trap (28).
