  • Publication number: 20200263400
    Abstract: A user interface (120) for controlling a shower system (100) includes at least one control (140) configured to be actuated by a user and generate one or more signals for controlling an operation of the shower system (100), and at least one indicator light (154) configured to illuminate in different patterns which are matched to different operational stages of the shower system (100). The at least one indicator light (154) may be configured to provide a first light pattern when the shower system (100) is in a first operational stage, and a second light pattern that is different from the first light pattern when the shower system (100) is in a second operational stage. The first operational stage may include when water in the shower system (100) is being warmed to a predetermined temperature, and the second operational stage may include when a temperature of the water has reached the predetermined temperature.

  • Patent number: 10625279
    Abstract: A shower head includes a fluid inlet configured to connect to a fluid source, a spray face having a plurality of fluid outlets, a fluid flow path from the fluid source to the spray face, and a diverter positioned in the fluid flow path which is configured to adjust the flow of fluid through the fluid flow path, the diverter being switchable between different spray configurations associated with different spray modes of the shower head. A user interface for selecting the shower spray mode is positioned on a peripheral portion of the spray face, the user interface including one or more touch-sensitive devices configured to receive one or more touch inputs from a user during operation of the shower head and configured to cause the diverter to switch from one spray configuration to another spray configuration in response to receiving the one or more touch inputs from the user.

  • Publication number: 20180193851
    Abstract: Described are embodiments of a shower assembly that includes modular components that can be removably attached and may be replaced or interchanged with corresponding components having different form factor or design. In some embodiments, the shower assembly includes a diverter unit fluidly coupled to a fluid source and the diverter unit is configured to selectively direct flow of fluid from the fluid source to one or both of a shower head and a hand shower. The shower head includes a first plurality of nozzles configured to dispense fluid and the shower head is configured to be removably fluidly coupled to the diverter unit. The hand shower includes a second plurality of nozzles configured to dispense fluid and fluidly coupled by a hose to the diverter unit and the hand shower is configured to be removably attachable to the diverter unit by a connector.
