However, even if an attempt is made to install a water conditioner in the shower room, the conventional water conditioner does not have sufficient waterproofness, so that electrical insulation is deteriorated due to water droplets and steam, resulting in leakage or rust. However, there is a problem that the water conditioner cannot be installed in the shower room.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to utilize a dead space in a shower room to provide a water conditioner and an electric valve for switching water channels. In addition, the shower room can be installed in a shower room that protects the device from water droplets and steam, and can selectively use alkaline ionized water, acidic ionized water, shower water, etc. in the shower room. It is to provide a water conditioner.

[0006]

A shower room water conditioner according to the present invention comprises an alkaline ionized water discharger 2 for discharging alkaline ionized water to the upper side of a counter 1 in the shower room, and an acidic ionized water for discharging acidic ionized water. Ionized water discharger 3,
A shower head 4 for discharging shower water and the like are arranged, and a water conditioner 5 for generating alkaline ionized water and acidic ionized water and an electric valve 6 for switching water channels are arranged in a space below the counter 1. The water conditioner 5 and the motor-operated valve 6 are respectively housed in a waterproof case 7, and by adopting such a configuration, the problems of the conventional example described above are solved. The object of the invention has been achieved.

[0007]

Thus, an alkaline ionized water discharging unit 2 for discharging alkaline ionized water, an acidic ionized water discharging unit 3 for discharging acidic ionized water, and a shower head 4 for discharging shower water are provided above the counter 1 in the shower room. And the like, and by arranging a water conditioner 5 for generating alkaline ionized water and acid ionized water and an electric valve 6 for switching the water channel in a space below the counter 1, the water controller 5, the water channel The switching electric valve 6 is disposed by effectively utilizing the dead space below the counter 1 in the shower room, and the alkaline ionized water discharged from the alkaline ionized water discharger 2 is used as drinking water in the shower room, The acidic ionized water discharged from the acidic ionized water discharger 3 can be used as beauty water, or the shower water can be discharged from the shower head 4 and used. In which it became a jar. Since the water rectifier 5 and the motor-operated valve 6 are housed in the waterproof case 7, respectively, even though the water rectifier 5 and the motor-operated valve 6 are arranged in the shower room, water drops and moisture can be prevented. It is now possible to prevent being invaded by.
