Claim:
A showerhead comprising an arm structure configured to couple to a water pipe to receive water flow therefrom; a first fluid conduit housed within the arm structure; a second fluid conduit housed within the arm structure; and a mode selector housed within the arm structure and coupled to the first fluid conduit and the second fluid conduit to receive water flow from the water pipe and distribute the water flow to either the first fluid conduit, the second fluid conduit, or both, the mode selector comprising a valve seal; wherein the mode selector defines a first chamber, a second chamber, and a third chamber; the first chamber is in fluid communication with the water flow from the water pipe; the second chamber and the third chamber are both positioned downstream from the first chamber; the mode selector further defines a first outlet port in fluid communication with the second chamber and a second outlet port in fluid communication with the third chamber; the mode selector is configured to transition between a first setting to direct water flow through an aperture from the first chamber to the second chamber and a second setting to direct water flow through the aperture from the first chamber to the third chamber; the valve seal seals against a substantially planar surface surrounding the aperture; the second chamber is in fluid communication with the first fluid conduit through the first outlet port; and the third chamber is in fluid communication with the second fluid conduit through the second outlet port; and a spray head coupled to the support structure, the first fluid conduit, and the second fluid conduit, wherein the spray head is operably coupled with and configured to receive and distribute the water flow from the first and second fluid conduits.
