Abstract

A showerhead according to the present invention includes a housing, a baffle located within the housing, a fluid-permeable absorbent element, and a fluid distribution element. The baffle and the upper lid of the housing define a fluid chamber that receives fluid from a fluid inlet. The fluid flows through seep holes in the baffle and into a second fluid chamber that contains the absorbent element. The fluid distribution element encloses the absorbent element within the second fluid chamber. The fluid distribution element includes a plurality of holes and a plurality of protrusions configured to release fluid from the second fluid chamber.
