A shower head is disclosed that includes means for accessing its interior. A method for accessing the interior of the shower head is also disclosed. The shower head includes a main body with an interior, a proximal water receiving end for connecting to a water source and a distal water dispensing end. A face plate is movably affixed to the water dispensing end. The face plate has openings for water to pass therethrough to reach a user. The face plate is movable between a closed position where the face plate closes the distal water dispensing end of the main body and an open position where the face plate is displaced away from the distal water dispensing end of the main body to access the interior of the main body. The interior of the shower head is therefore easily accessible without the need for tools or plumbing expertise. The shower head may include a regulating device, also easily accessible, for controlling the flow or for treating the water passing therethrough.
A shower head comprising a main body having an interior, a proximal water receiving end adapted to be connected to a source of water and a distal water dispensing end, a face plate movably affixed to the distal water dispensing end, the face plate having at least one opening to allow water to pass therethrough, the face plate being movable between a closed position wherein the face plate is in full engagement with said water dispensing end and prevents ingress to the main body, and an open position wherein the face plate is partially disengaged from the water dispensing end of the main body and provides access to said interior.
A shower head assembly, the shower head assembly comprising a main body with a proximal water receiving end adapted to be connected to a source of water, and a distal water dispensing end, a face plate affixed to the distal water dispensing end, the face plate having a plurality of openings to allow water to pass through the face plate, the face plate being movable between a closed position wherein the face plate closes the water dispensing end of the main body, and an open position wherein the face plate is at least partially displaced away from the water dispensing end of the main body to provide access to the interior of the main body, and a water regulating device within the main body adapted to control the movement and/or composition of the water passing through the main body.
A method of accessing the interior of a shower head, the method comprising the steps of:
