Abstract:
A shower system includes an inlet configured to receive water from a supply conduit and a plurality of spout outlets configured to discharge water from the shower system. A diverter is configured to receive water from the inlet and deliver water to the plurality of spout outlets, and the diverter is actuatable to change a water discharge mode of the plurality of spout outlets. A valve is configured to receive water from the inlet, and the valve is actuatable to a first position and a second position. A diverter actuator is configured to receive water from the valve in the second position. The diverter actuator is actuatable from an unactuated position to an actuated position upon receiving water from the valve, and the diverter actuator thereby actuates the diverter to change the water discharge mode of the plurality of spout outlets.
