A shower head for purifying water includes a filter cartridge positioned
within in a holding part, a purified water flow path passing through a
purification material and a raw water flow path not passing through the
purification material. A flow path switching valve switching between the
purified and raw water flow paths is incorporated in a head part. A
delivery flow switching valve positioned downstream of the flow path
switching valve switches between a straight delivery port and a shower
delivery port. The valves are controlled independently of each other. A
germicidal ceramic and/or sintered magnetic body is installed in the flow
path between the valves.
