3. The showerhead assembly of claim 2 wherein at least one of said supplemental showerhead's one or more nozzles is connected to said passageway by a ball and socket joint connector which permits said at least one supplemental showerhead nozzle multidirectional pivoting movement relative to said housing.
4. The showerhead assembly of claim 1 wherein at least one of said supplemental showerhead's one or more nozzles is connected to said passageway by a ball and socket joint connector which permits said at least one supplemental showerhead nozzle multidirectional pivoting movement relative to said housing.
5. The showerhead assembly of claim 1 further comprising a metal plate for being affixed to the wall by said adhesive and a magnet affixed to said supplemental showerhead's housing.
6. A showerhead assembly comprising:
a wall;
a pipe connected to a water supply, said pipe projecting through said wall and having a male threaded outlet;
a hollow diverter having a female threaded inlet, a first outlet, a second outlet, and a valve assembly, said female threaded inlet attached to said male threaded pipe of a water supply to receive water into said diverter, said first outlet longitudinally aligned with said inlet, and said valve assembly including a rotatable knob connected to a valve which selectively permits or obstructs water from flowing through said first and second outlets;
a primary showerhead having a central conduit connected to said first outlet for receiving water from said diverter, said primary showerhead having nozzles connected to said central conduit for spraying water;
a hollow flexible hose having a first end and a second end, said hose's first end connected to said diverter's second outlet to receive water from said diverter for conveyance to said hose's second end;
a supplemental showerhead having a housing, a hollow passageway within said housing connected to said flexible hose's second end, and one or more nozzles connected to said passageway for spraying water; and
an adhesive which affixes said supplemental showerhead to said wall.
7. The showerhead assembly of claim 6 further comprising a ball and socket joint connector which connects said primary showerhead to said diverter, said ball joint and socket joint connector which permits said primary showerhead to pivot multi-directionally relative to said diverter.
8. The showerhead assembly of claim 7 wherein at least one of said supplemental showerhead's one or more nozzles is connected to said passageway by a ball and socket joint connector which permits said at least one supplemental showerhead nozzle multidirectional pivoting movement relative to said housing.
9. The showerhead assembly of claim 6 wherein at least one of said supplemental showerhead's one or more nozzles is connected to said passageway by a ball and socket joint connector which permits said at least one supplemental showerhead nozzle multidirectional pivoting movement relative to said housing.
10. The showerhead assembly of claim 6 further comprising a metal plate affixed to said wall by said adhesive and a magnet affixed to said supplemental showerhead's housing.
