Abstract: A bath faucet system includes a housing, an internal waterway, and a diverter rod. The housing includes a water inlet, a water outlet, and a cavity extending between the water inlet and the water outlet. The internal waterway is disposed within the cavity between the water inlet and the water outlet. The internal waterway includes a water jacket coupled to the water inlet and comprising a hose connector and a separate aperture through the water jacket. The internal waterway further includes a hose coupled to the hose connector and the water outlet and configured to prevent water from contacting the housing as water flows through the internal waterway. The diverter rod extends through the aperture of the water jacket and is configured to move relative to the water jacket between an open position and a closed position.

Abstract: A showerhead system with a normally open, temperature controlled first water valve coupled between a hot water source supply inlet and a purge outlet. The first water valve is configured to move from its normally open position to a closed position to restrict water passing from the hot water source supply inlet to the purge outlet when the temperature controlled water valve reaches a predetermined temperature. In a first mode, the first water valve purges water from the hot water source supply inlet through the purge outlet until the thermal actuator reaches the predetermined temperature. In a second mode, the first water valve blocks water entering the first water valve from passing through the purge outlet toward the showerhead outlet. In an optional third mode, a normally closed, manual second water valve is open and passes water through the showerhead outlet.

Abstract: A sprayhead that includes a body and first and second diverters. The body has an inlet for receiving a fluid; first, second, and third chambers; and first, second, and third outlets for dispensing the fluid in first, second, and third modes, respectively. The first diverter moves between a first position wherein the second chamber fluidly connects to the inlet and the first chamber fluidly disconnects from the inlet and a second position wherein the first outlet fluidly connects to the inlet through the first chamber and the second chamber fluidly disconnects from the inlet. The second diverter moves between a first position wherein the second outlet fluidly connects to the second chamber and the third chamber fluidly disconnects from the second chamber and a second position wherein the third outlet fluidly connects to the second chamber through the third chamber and the second outlet fluidly disconnects from the second chamber.

Abstract: A water delivery system includes a mixing valve operable for delivering a water flow of adjustable temperature from a water source to a dispensing device downstream from the mixing valve; a thermochromic thermal indicator, fluidly coupled between the mixing valve and the dispensing device, that provides a visible indication of the water flow having achieved a predetermined temperature; and a diverter valve, fluidly coupled between the mixing valve and the dispensing device, and operable to direct the water flow selectively either to the dispensing device or back to the water source. The thermal indicator may be a thermochromic PVC conduit, or it may be a fitting having an inlet, an outlet, a thermochromic PVC element therebetween, and a barrier located between the inlet and the outlet so as to define a flow path that includes an interior surface of the thermochromic element.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and techniques for cleaning shower-enclosures are provided. In some embodiments, a shower-cleaning showerhead comprises a diverter housed in the showerhead, wherein the diverter is configured to divert water toward either a shower face of the showerhead or toward a cleaning nozzle of the showerhead. Before being expelled from the cleaning nozzle, water from the water supply may be mixed with cleaning solution, which may be pumped into the water supply or may be drawn in by the Venturi effect. In some embodiments, the showerhead may be configured to direct the flow of water along different flow paths in accordance with a shower mode, a cleaning mode, a rinse mode, and/or a pause mode. In some embodiments, one or more valves of the showerhead may be electronically and/or manually controlled.
