Spa shower and controller
First Claim
1. A system for controlling temperature and pressure at a plurality of water sources comprising:
- a housing adapted to be located within a wall;
an input and display unit;
an electronic processing unit in electrical communication with the input and display unit; and
a plumbing control unit located inside the housing, comprising;
a thermostatic control valve having inputs in fluid communication with hot and cold sources of water and an output for outputting a mixture of hot water and cold water; and
a manifold having an input in fluid communication with the output of the thermostatic control valve, and a plurality of outputs positioned on one side wall of the manifold and in fluid communication with a corresponding plurality of water source supply lines, each of said plurality of outputs of said manifold having a corresponding electronic fluid control valve positioned on another side wall of the manifold and located within the housing.

Abstract
Systems and method for providing automated control over both water and temperature and pressure for a plurality of shower heads or other sources of water. The automated systems and methods for providing automated control over both water pressure and temperature make use of three distinct modules which comprise an input and display unit, and electronic processing unit, and the mechanical plumbing control unit. The electronic processing unit receives signals from the input and display unit and translates the received signals into the appropriate control signals for the mechanical plumbing control unit. A user is able to control the output water temperature from each of the shower heads or water sources as well as the individual water pressure from each of the shower heads or water sources. In the preferred exemplary embodiment, the housing of containing the electrical mechanical elements of the system is dimensioned such that the housing will advantageously fit within the cavity of the typical wall.
