2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, there has been known a shower apparatus which discharges hot and cold water having a different spraying range and type from a top shower fixed on a ceiling surface or an upper wall surface of a bathroom unit. For example, the shower device is capable of performing any type of shower, such as hot water with a very small watering range, a squall shower with a medium watering range, and a mist with a large watering range. A plurality of buttons are arranged on the operation unit (touch panel) of the shower of the shower device in accordance with the type of tapping water, squall shower, mist, etc., and a bather presses a desired type of button. .

The temperature of hot water discharged from the top shower slightly decreases due to contact with air before it hits the body. Further, if the sprinkling ranges are different, even if the same temperature of hot water is discharged, the hot water temperature when hitting the body is different to the extent that it can be sensed. In particular, in the case of mist, even if hot water is discharged from the shower, the temperature drops to such a degree that cold water is felt.

Further, the conventional operation unit (touch panel) is compact, and buttons corresponding to various types of hot and cold water are concentrated at locations of substantially the same height. For this reason, it is easy to make an illusion that hot and cold water of the same temperature is applied to the body even when any type of button is pressed. The only way to press the appropriate button is to learn which button the appropriate temperature is applied to, and it takes some time to use it comfortably.
