Improvements to a fluid output controller
A system 1 for controlling the output of fluid from a shower outlet is disclosed. The shower outlet is in fluid communication with a hot water supply pipe and a cold-water supply pipe, with a mixing valve interposed between them. The mixing valve controls the overall flow of water to the outlet and the ratio of hot to cold water. Operation of the mixing valve is controlled by a processor and one or more modules stored on a memory and configured to be executed by the processor. The modules include instructions to detect contact with a touch sensitive display 5, detect the coordinates and movement of a contact within a pre-defined area of the touch sensitive display and processing the final coordinates of a contact into an actuation of the mixing valve. The processor is configured to actuate the mixing valve only upon detecting of the removal of contact with the touch sensitive display. The touch sensitive display may have a graphical user interface (GUI) 10 with an area 12 for controlling the temperature and flow rate of the water from the shower. The GUI provides and activates an indicator ring 18 which may be a cross. The GUI may incorporate a gauge 20 to provide an indication of the water temperature .The system may record and store user profiles.
