Abstract: The feed tube of the shower head is connected with a pump system operable with muscle power independently of the pressure in a water main. The pump system includes two foot operable bellows which are operable with rocking and/or alternating steps of the user to draw up water from a source and/or into the feed pipe. The shower head is so constructed that the feed duct in the handle of the shower head is tapered toward the shower head and opens out tangentially in the upper curved or arched region of a bell shape portion of the shower head. A baffle plate is positioned centrally projecting interiorly near the water inlet to the bell shape portion of the shower head dividing the water stream and a shower plate is mounted in the lower part of the bell shape portion closing it. Advantageously the shower plate has a plurality of radially directed baffle members positioned interiorly between a plurality of shower outlet holes. This structure produces a stronger shower stream.
