A shower system with the option for a programmed alternating hot and cold spray, to stimulate the skin, has a remote control valve (6) in the hot water feed line (2) and connected to a control box (9). The user is able to switch the hot water feed either manually or via a programme. The hot and cold (1) water feeds are connected to a mixing element (3) from where a single feed (4) takes the mixed water to the shower head (5).
