Showerhead system with front or side mounted diverter control interface

A showerhead system for communicating a fluid supply, said showerhead system comprising:

• a fixed fluid dispensing unit supported at a location, said fixed dispensing unit comprising a plurality of nozzles in fluid communication with the fluid supply;
• a removable fluid dispensing unit releasably secured to a cradle receptacle established with said fixed dispensing unit forming an integral dispensing face with said fixed dispensing unit and comprising at least one additional plurality of nozzles being connected to a hose in fluid communication with the fluid supply when said removable fluid dispensing unit is dissociated from said fixed fluid dispensing unit;
• a fluid inlet associated with said fixed dispensing unit, a fluid diverter fluidly communicating said fluid supply with at least one of said fixed and removable dispensing units;
• and
• wherein said fluid diverter is actuated by said cradle receptacle, where said fluid diverter further comprises a bias spring with a downward bias that is overcome when the removable unit is in said cradle, and a trigger in mechanical communication with said bias spring, said trigger configured to push on a bottom portion of a check or T valve that pivots on a valve spring, so that fluid is allowed to flow to said fixed unit, as well as said removable unit when said removable unit is in said cradle;
• and
• wherein when said removable unit is removed from said cradle, the downward bias of said bias spring releases said trigger, and said trigger no longer pushes on the bottom portion of said check or T valve, and said valve spring provides a bias that closes said check or T valve so that fluid no longer flows to the fixed unit, and all fluid flow is diverted to said removable unit.

• a removable fluid dispensing unit releasably secured to a cradle receptacle established with said fixed dispensing unit forming an integral dispensing face with said fixed dispensing unit and comprising at least one additional plurality of nozzles being connected to a hose in fluid communication with the fluid supply when said removable fluid dispensing unit is dissociated from said fixed fluid dispensing unit;
• wherein the fluid supply is adapted to being in selective communication with at least one of said fixed and said removable fluid dispensing unit via a push pin diverter control, wherein said push pin diverter control is positioned intermediate between said fixed dispensing unit and said removable unit;
• and
• wherein when said removable fluid dispensing unit is resting in said cradle, fluid flow is available to both said fixed fluid dispensing unit and said removable fluid dispensing unit.
