Abstract: A shower system for controlling a spray pattern of water includes a housing, an electronic diverter, and a control device. The housing includes a plurality of outlets and configured to discharge water from the plurality of outlets to form a plurality of different spray patterns. The electronic diverter is configured to control the water discharged from the housing to form the plurality of different spray patterns responsive to an instruction signal. The electronic diverter is configured to transition between the plurality of different spray patterns within a time interval less than an amount of time required for the water discharged from the housing to form a spray pattern of the plurality of different spray patterns. The control device is configured to provide the instruction signal to the electronic diverter to cause the electronic diverter to transition between the plurality of different spray patterns.

Abstract: A shower system includes shower frame, a plurality of nozzles, and a shower seat. The shower frame includes a plurality of substantially coplanar frame segments forming at least part of a perimeter of the shower frame. The plurality of nozzles are distributed across the plurality of substantially coplanar frame segments and configured to spray water inward from the perimeter of shower frame. The shower seat is pivotally connected to the shower frame and configured to pivot between a seated position in which the shower seat is substantially perpendicular to the shower frame and a standing position in which is substantially parallel to the shower frame.
