The invention claimed is: 1. Water delivery system comprising a showerhead with two delivery points, at least one of which has an on-off valve, and at least one supply pipe carrying untreated water, characterized in that said showerhead comprises two separate conduits connecting the two delivery points with a coupling at the base of a handle thereof, one of the two conduits being located at least partly inside the other of the two conduits, the two conduits being distinct from and not in fluid communication with one another, and one of the two conduits being configured to deliver water only out of one of the two delivery points and the other of the two conduits being configured to deliver water only out of the other delivery point, said supply pipe carrying untreated water being associated with a secondary supply pipe carrying treated water, both supply pipes being enclosed in a flexible tube, a proximal end of said flexible tube being coupled with said showerhead coupling, and a distal end of said flexible tube being intended to disappear from the user's sight, said distal end having two distinct supply ends, one supply end adapted to be connected to the supply pipe carrying untreated water and the other supply end adapted to be connected to the supply pipe carrying treated water, respectively. 2. Water delivery system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the two showerhead delivery points are distinct and one of the two separate conduits delivering treated water is cut-off by a valve normally kept in a closed position and which may be operated manually. 3. Water delivery system as claimed in claim 2, wherein said valve has the shape of a longitudinally translatable stem and is provided with a shutter, the stem protruding outward from the conduit with an operating button and being arranged so that the shutter is pushed in a closed position by the pressure of the water in the conduit. 4. Water delivery system as claimed in claim 3, wherein the stem of said valve slides within an S-shaped portion of the corresponding conduit and comes out orthogonal to an L-shaped end portion of said conduit. 5. Water delivery system as in claim 1, wherein an inlet for one of the two conduits is adjacent to and at least partially surrounded by an inlet for the other of the two conduits. 6. Water delivery system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said flexible tube consists of an outer flexible casing, which houses said separate and flexible supply pipes, and a first and a second connection body, the first connection body being intended to connect said flexible supply pipes with the coupling of said showerhead, the second connection body being intended to connect said flexible supply pipes to the two outlets of distribution systems delivering treated water and untreated water. 7. Water delivery system as claimed in claim 6, wherein said flexible supply pipes are one inside the other. 8. Water delivery system as claimed in claim 7, wherein said first connection body consists of a flange from which projects a first hollow cylindrical element inside which projects a hollow cylindrical element, of a smaller diameter, but of a greater length than the first one, such two cylindrical elements being arranged so as to fit an end of each of said flexible supply pipes thereon. 9. Water delivery system as claimed in claim 8, wherein said connection body further comprises an alignment feature to ensure a univocal angular coupling with the showerhead coupling. 10. Water delivery system as claimed in claim 8, wherein said connection body is integrally molded. 11. Water delivery system as claimed in claim 9, wherein said connection body is integrally molded. 12. A showerhead comprising: a first outlet and a distinct second outlet; a first conduit and a distinct second conduit located at least partially inside the first conduit, the two conduits not being in fluid communication with one another; the first conduit configured to be in fluid communication with a first water supply and the second conduit configured to be in fluid communication with a distinct second water supply; the first conduit configured to deliver water from the first water supply to the first outlet and the second conduit configured to deliver water from the second water supply to the second outlet; and the showerhead configured to allow selective delivery of water from the second conduit. 13. The shower head of claim 12, further comprising a valve connected to the second conduit configured to allow the selective delivery of water from the second water supply out the second outlet. 14. The shower head of claim 12, wherein the second water supply is from a centralized distribution system of treated water. 15. The shower head of claim 14, wherein the first water supply is from an untreated water source. 16. The shower head of claim 15, wherein the showerhead is configured to allow selective delivery of treated water through the second conduit and out the second outlet while untreated water is simultaneously delivered through the first conduit and out the first outlet. 17. The shower head of claim 16, wherein the selective delivery is accomplished by manual selection of a valve means connected to the second conduit. 18. The shower head of claim 17, wherein said valve means has the shape of a longitudinally translatable stem and is provided with a shutter, the stem protruding outward from the second conduit with an operating button and being arranged so that the shutter is pushed in a closed position by a pressure of the treated water in the second conduit.
