Description

Water supply facilities having the shower bath with an independent power plant}

The present invention relates to a water supply facility, and more particularly to a water supply installed in the bathroom and equipped with a self-powered shower with a far infrared lamp.

In recent years, the concept of consciousness has changed a lot as the tendency to pursue the benefits of life has become so strong that the word well-being has become popular. In particular, with the propensity to improve quality of life and increasing interest in health, the lifestyle of daily life has changed significantly.

Meanwhile, as it is found that far infrared rays have a good effect on blood circulation and skin health, various health apparatuses using the same have been developed. However, most of the far-infrared generators were manufactured as individual apparatuses, which was rather cumbersome to use regularly, and the power consumption for driving the lamps generating far-infrared rays was not so small that continuous use of the far-infrared generators was not easy.

Accordingly, the present invention has been devised to solve the above problems, and provides a water purification facility with a shower that can manage health by far infrared rays even during a shower that is performed daily, and does not burden the power supply for driving a far infrared lamp. There is a purpose.
