ABSTRACT:
The present invention is related to a shower apparatus provided with a plurality of shower discharge ports. More specifically, a shower apparatus is disclosed in which hot water remains in a hot water line connected to several shower discharge ports, after a discharge has been completed. Hot water within the hot water line which has lowered in temperature is drained through a drain valve in order to dispose of the water. At the beginning of the next shower discharge, cold water is prevented from being discharged. The operation of an opening and closing valve for effecting discharge and stoppage of each shower discharge port is controlled according to control programs, whereby the shower discharge is substantially controlled. The content of the shower discharge, carried out according to the programs, can be changed by a user through the operation of a central section. Moreover, upon the start of a shower discharge, a sudden jet of water is prevented.
