A control system for a bath includes one or more processors and one or more sensors. The one or more sensors are arranged to sense water flow parameter data as a user fills the bath and to transmit the water flow parameter data to the one or more processors. The one or more processors are arranged to determine water flow parameter values suitable for use to fill the bath based on the water flow parameter data, and store the determined water flow parameter values as a pre-set bath-fill option arranged to be used to automatically fill the bath for future use.

Bath filling

A controller is provided for use in a wet environment such as an ablutionary setting. The controller includes a base member, an input member, a seal extending between the input member and the base member, and a sealed internal volume defined at least partially by the base member, the input member, and the seal. The input member is moveable relative to the base member between a neutral position and a control position. The seal biases the input member towards the neutral position.

Controller

A control system for a bathing apparatus includes a pairing station associated with the bathing apparatus and having a pairing interface, and a portable user device arranged to be used to control the bathing apparatus, the portable user device being able to control one or more functions of the bathing apparatus only while it is paired with the pairing station. The portable user device is paired with the pairing station by activation of the pairing interface when the portable user device is in a pairing region.

Bath control security

A reconfigurable bathing apparatus includes a first showerhead, the first showerhead being connected to a first fluid outlet; a second showerhead, the second showerhead being connected to a second fluid outlet; and a processor, the processor being arranged to control fluid flow through the first fluid outlet in response to a first control action and to control fluid flow through the second fluid outlet in response to a second control action. The processor is arranged to be able to receive and implement a request to reconfigure its response to the control actions such that the first control action controls the second fluid outlet and the second control action controls the first fluid outlet.
