A water tap, comprising: a casing having a hot water intake hole at one side, a cold water intake hole at an opposite side, a first water passage at the middle in vertical direction, said first water passage having two opposite ends terminating into a first water outlet hole at the top and a second water outlet hole at the bottom, said second water outlet hole being attached with a water outlet pipe, an opening on the front face thereof at the center in transverse direction connected to said first water passage, a locating flange projecting outwards from the front face thereof, a second water passage and a third water passage spaced from each other and respectively disposed in transverse direction, said second water passage being to guide cold water from said cold water intake hole into said first water passage for discharging through said first or second water outlet hole, said third water passage being to guide hot water from said hot water intake hole into said first water passage for discharging through said first or second water outlet hole; a water flow rate control fastened in said casing to regulate flow of water from said cold and hot water intake holes, said water flow rate control comprising a second plunger fastened in said second water passage and rotated to close or open the passage between said cold water intake hole and said first water passage, a third plunger fastened in said third water passage and rotated to close or open the passage between said hot water intake hole and said first water passage, and a control knob mounted on said casing and rotated to alternatively move said second and third plungers back and forth, causing said second and third plungers to close or open the passage between said hot or cold water intake hole and said first water passage, said control knob having a raised portion movably stopped against said locating flange on said casing for revolving range control, a first guide track for controlling the movement of said second plunger and a second guide track for controlling the movement of said third plunger, said second and third plungers each being sleeved with a compression spring and having a tongue at one end releasably inserted in said first or second track, two spaced o-rings at the middle, and a screw rod at an opposite end, said screw rod being attached with a gasket, a locating ring and a lock nut; a water flow direction control fastened in said casing to alternatively close or open said first and second water outlet holes, said water flow direction control comprising a first plunger inserted in said first water passage, said first plunger having an annular groove at the middle and two O-rings at two opposite ends, a driving rod inserted in said opening on said casing and rotated to alternatively move said first plunger up and down causing said first plunger to block up said first or second water outlet, and a rotary cap mounted on said control knob to drive said driving rod to rotate; a shower switching control unit fastened in said first water outlet hole to control flow of water to a shower head, said shower switching control unit comprising a tubular casing having one end fastened in said first water outlet hole and an opposite end attached with a shower head, and a shower head holder attached to said tubular casing for holding said shower head, said tubular casing having a side tube at right angle, a valve seat fastened therein, said valve seat having a valve port for the passing therethrough of flow of water from said first water outlet hole, a valve moved to close or open said valve port, an actuating rod fastened in said side tube and forced by a torsional spring to hold said valve in said valve seat; and wherein rotating said rotary cap causes said first plunger to close said first or second water outlet hole permitting intake flow of water to flow through said second or first water outlet hole; rotating said control knob causes said second and third plungers to be moved forwards or backwards in proper sequence so as to let intake flow of water from said cold and hot water intake holes pass said second and third water passages for discharging through said first or second water outlet hole; removing said shower head from said shower head holder causes said valve to move away from said valve seat permitting flow of water from said first water outlet hole to discharge through said shower head; hanging said shower head on said shower head holder causes said valve to block up said valve port so as to stop flow of water from flowing toward said shower head.
