  • the invention provides a shower head with a water inlet, one or more jet outlet openings and a device for adding additives to the shower water.
  • the device comprises a chamber for Receiving solid and / or liquid additives, which is arranged between the water inlet and at least one jet outlet of the shower, the additives are washed by the flowing water and mixed with this and flow out in conjunction with the water from the shower.
  • the chamber for receiving the additives is provided with a feed device which has a passage direction and a blocking direction. This means that although additive can be introduced into the chamber from outside to inside through the feeding device, but that additive or the water-mixed additive or the water flowing through the chamber can not escape through the feeding device.
  • additives also in showers in the water steel is becoming increasingly popular considering the "wellness" trend.
