To provide a water spouting device capable of switching between spouting and stopping, flow volume adjustment, and spouted water temperature adjustment with a single operating portion. The present invention is a water faucet device () furnished with a flow volume adjustment function and a temperature adjustment function, including: an operating portion () capable of being pressed and rotated by a user; and flow volume/temperature adjustment means (), whereby in a stopped water state, spouting is commenced when the operating portion of this flow volume/temperature adjustment means is pressed; in a spouting state, spouted water flow volume is changed when the operating portion is pressed continuously for a predetermined long-press determining time; and water flow is stopped when pressing of the operating portion ceases in less than the long-press determining time.

Water faucet device

Disclosed is a showerhead () capable of preventing damages in major or peripheral components and water leakage even if it is increased in size. The showerhead comprises a lower plate () formed with a plurality of discharging holes () for discharging shower water therethrough, an upper plate () connected to the lower plate and formed with a water inlet port (), and a channel-defining member () disposed between the lower and upper plates to define an effective channel () for allowing hot water entered between the lower and upper plates from the water inlet port to be led to each of the discharging holes, and an ineffective channel, so as to reduce a pressure-receiving area of the lower or upper plate to be subjected to a water pressure.
