Abstract
A water filter assembly for use with a shower bath comprises a housing containing a filter and a bypass adapter which allows the filter to be displaced, e.g. downwardly, from the direct line leading from the water source to the shower head. The housing is also preferably adapted to hold containers for cosmetics or the like. Several forms of containers, particularly adapted for use in such a holder, are disclosed. Also disclosed are several preferred forms of filter adapted for this use, as well as improved quick disconnect type couplers allowing simultaneous operation of two adjacent such couplers.
