Abstract

A shower head contains a shower head housing with a jet disc having jet outlet openings. A water inlet leads into the shower head housing and adjoins a changeover valve that switches between three water supplies. Each water supply leads to a different group of jet outlet openings in the jet disc. An opening closed by a seal of deformable material is provided between each two groups of jet outlet openings. The seal is designed such that the opening opens when pressure is applied from one side and the opening closes when pressure is applied from the other side.
