No screen showerhead

 Let the chunks thru!
  (+4)
(+4) 		 

Most showerheads disperse water by forcing it thru a screen of small holes. That is fine unless your water is full of chunks of sediment which then blocks the holes.

The no screen showerhead sends water into a series of grooves which then spiral out along the inside of the conventionally trumpet shaped showerhead. Water emerging from the end of the showerhead continues along its prior trajectory. Chunks are borne along in the flow. One spreads the water available to optimally wet the shower-taker without any screens or holes in the way.

       There's a jet-engine fuel injector that works somewhat like the description. (There are also jet engines that centrifuge the chunks out of the air on the way in.) [+]
