Next, the operation of the shower device having the above configuration will be described. The water introduced from the water inlet pipe 2 passes through the flow regulating valve 13, the flow detector 14, the water shutoff plug 15 and is supplied to the cylinder 17 provided with the heater 18 for heating. The connected shower hose 7, with the shower nozzle 8, hot water is sprayed out. The shower hot water temperature at this time can be obtained by adjusting the heating value of the heater 18 according to the water temperature and flow rate. In order to obtain a comfortable shower hot water temperature, use the hot water temperature adjustment knob 5 to pre-select and adjust to the desired shower hot water temperature, use the control circuit 30 to detect the thermistor 21 of the hot water temperature of the cylinder 17 and the hot water temperature regulator 16 Each resistance value is compared and the energization rate of the heater 18 is controlled, thereby adjusting to the desired shower hot water temperature. A safety device 26 is provided in the cylinder 17 to prevent abnormal heating, and to cut off the power supply to the heater 18 when the temperature rises abnormally. Connect between the hot water discharge pipe 25 connected to the outlet side of the cylinder 17 and the shower hose 7 with the connecting member 27, and the shower hose 7 guides the hot water to the shower nozzle 8; 27 is connected to the vent hose 22 in a watertight manner, which is connected to the outlet 28 of the above-mentioned air supply mechanism 19, and the vent hose 22 passes into the shower hose 7 and is inserted near the front end of the shower nozzle 8. .
