Abstract: An improved shower apparatus allows for an overhead attaching secondary showerhead. Using a bi-directional water diverter with switch valve the shower water flow is split between an original showerhead and a flexible extension hose. The extension hose is connected along the shower stall wall and ceiling and allows for the secondary showerhead to be positioned at any point on the shower stall ceiling where it can be directed vertically downward. The water diverter valve controls the flow of water allowing the showerheads to be used separately or together. Due to the height, position and trajectory of the flow of water no excessive bending or twisting of the body, especially at the back, neck or knees, is necessary to position individuals directly under the flow of water, thereby allowing for the greatest pain and discomfort free ease of use for tall or injured individuals.

Abstract: A portable shower is formed of a base and upper shower ring carrying spray nozzles. The base and the ring each have sockets directed slightly outwardly from the vertical. Straight plastic pipes are fitted into the sockets to join the base and the shower ring, and, since the pipes have to be flexed in order to fit within the sockets, the pipes provide a tensioned fit which holds the unit together. At least one of the pipes carries a water inlet so that it can be connected to a hose and, so, carry water to the ring. Two hoses can be used, if desired, one for hot water and the other for cold; and then two of the pipes will carry water to the ring. In such event, a mixing chamber is provided in the ring so water of uniform temperature comes from each of the spray outlets in the shower ring. The base is a tank which holds water to provide weight and, so, stability to the shower.

Abstract: A shower apparatus is provided with a plurality of shower discharge ports. More specifically, a shower apparatus is provided, in which hot water remains in a hot water line, that is communicated with the shower discharge ports, after the discharge has been completed. The hot water, which has a lower temperature, is drained through a drain valve for disposal of the water in the hot water line and a drain line. At the beginning of the next shower discharge, cold water is thus prevented from being discharged. The operation of an opening and closing valve for effecting discharge and stoppage of each shower discharge port is controlled according to control programs, so that the shower discharge is automatically controlled. The content of the shower discharge, carried out according to the programs, can be changed by a user through the operation of a control section. Moreover, upon the start of the shower discharge, a sudden jet of water is prevented.

The operation of an opening and closing valve for effecting discharge and stoppage of each shower discharge port is controlled according to control programs, whereby the shower discharge is substantially controlled. The content of the shower discharge, carried out according to the programs, can be changed by a user through the operation of a central section. Moreover, upon the start of a shower discharge, a sudden jet of water is prevented.

Abstract: A water recycling system primarily adapted for use in shower facilities enabling the user to increase both the time duration of a shower and the quantity of water experienced by a user, by maintaining water in a semi-closed system, while both maintaining water and energy conservation. The system preferably operates with fresh and recirculated hot water. The system utilizes spent hot shower water located in the catchment area of a shower or tub and recycles this water to one or more spray heads located at or in the proximity of the regular water dispensing head or so-called "spray head" of that shower. A selected water temperature can be maintained by periodically introducing fresh water or continuously introducing the fresh water at a very low flow rate from a fresh water source, and mixing that water with the recycled water from a water catchment area. Recycled water can also be re-heated and issued again.
