ABSTRACT:
A shower system and a method for receiving and delivering fresh water for a washing operation and also for recirculating the water, comprises a showerhead, a basin, a fresh water inlet, a waste water outlet, a pump means connected to the showerhead and adapted to deliver waste water thereto, and a general valve means. The general valve means has operative connections to the showerhead, to the basin, to the fresh water inlet, and to the waste water outlet. The general valve means has at least three operating positions. In first, second, and third operating positions, respectively, flow connections are made, respectively, between the fresh water inlet and the showerhead; from the basin through the pump to the showerhead; and between the basin and the waste water outlet. Various automatic control features are provided, including overflow control, which is designed to open the waste water outlet after inflow continues beyond a predetermined length of time, and water consumption control which interrupts the inflow when the inflow continues beyond a predetermined length of time.
