1. A water delivery device, comprising:
an inlet connector for coupling the water delivery device to a water supply;
a sprayface assembly comprising a plurality of nozzles that are configured to produce at least three spray patterns; and
a selection engine fluidly coupling the inlet connector to the sprayface assembly and controlling flow to each one of the plurality of nozzles to determine the spray pattern produced at the sprayface assembly, the selection engine including:
a housing defining a bore, an inlet port, and at least four outlet ports; and
a plurality of disks rotatably received in the bore, the inlet port selectively fluidly coupled to a first pair of the at least four outlet ports by a first disk of the plurality of disks, and selectively fluidly coupled to a second pair of the at least four outlet ports by a second disk of the plurality of disks, the first disk arranged in parallel with the second disk, the selection engine configured to switch directly from any one of the at least three spray patterns to any other one of the at least three spray patterns in response to a single actuation of the selection engine.
