A shower head is disclosed that includes means for accessing its interior. A method for accessing the interior of the shower head is also disclosed. The shower head includes a main body with an interior, a proximal water receiving end for connecting to a water source and a distal water dispensing end. A face plate is movably affixed to the water dispensing end. The face plate has openings for water to pass therethrough to reach a user. The face plate is movable between a closed position where the face plate closes the distal water dispensing end of the main body and an open position where the face plate is displaced away from the distal water dispensing end of the main body to access the interior of the main body. The interior of the shower head is therefore easily accessible without the need for tools or plumbing expertise. The shower head may include a regulating device, also easily accessible, for controlling the flow or for treating the water passing therethrough.
