ABSTRACT:
A shower head is disclosed for regulating water flow. Improvements enable a constant shower spray to be produced even though changes may occur in the pressure in the main lines. According to the invention, this is brought about by arranging outlet holes of the shower head in a flexible diaphragm-like disc held in the shower head casing by its edge. This disc reacts to slight changes in main line pressure to flex and adjust the volume of water within the head, thereby adjusting the resultant pressure within the head to compensate the change to main line pressure. This flexure of the disc also dislodges lime deposits and the like from the outlet holes, thereby providing a self-cleaning function.
