SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FLUID HANDLING IN A SHOWER OR BATH
Showerhead devices incorporate sensors to control bath fill levels. Showerheads have interchangeable attachments, including bristle attachments. Oral care devices are attachable to standard shower arms. Pump devices allow various lotions and fluids to be used in conjunction with showers. Shower organizing devices provide for ordered storage and access to accessories. Bathtub spouts including sensors and valves to control bathtub filled levels.
POWERED DENTAL CLEANING DEVICE
Powered toothbrush systems that provide improved bristle posi-tioning and bristle contact with tooth surfaces that reduce the time and effort re-quired for effective brushing. Some embodiments use alternating or oscillating pneumatic pressure and suction to move a toothbrush head. Various configuration of the brush head provide different areas of coverage ranging from individual tooth to quarter mouth (U-cross section), to half (U-cross section or H-cross section) or whole mouth (U-cross section or H-cross section) coverage. Some embodiments include flexible fingers and/or bladders to keep the bristle tips properly engaged with the teeth and gums, providing bristle contact over a wide variety of malocclusion. The shape of the brush heads adapts to conform closely to the shape of the user's dental tray and to any malocclusion that may be present. The powered toothbrush automatically generates motion of the brush head that simulates the Modified Bass Method of brushing.

Water Powered Back Scrubber
The present invention relates generally to the field of personal hygiene devices, and to a back scrubbing device for use in bathing or showering for cleaning and/or exfoliating an individual's own back. Primarily the invention provides an improved water powered back scrubber or back washing device that easily mounts in a hand shower or on wall and provides a large cleansing surface having rotating scrubber that do not require electricity and are easily adjustable so as to accommodate users of differing heights, and is capable of regulating water pressure. The water powered back scrubber or back washing device of the current invention uses wash rag as scrubbing device and the water from the hose for continuously turning of the scrubbing device. The device consists of double ended paddle wheel shaft installed side to side by sponge covered cylinder attached to shaft with mini hooks to grab wash rags.

Brush system
A brush system having a storable hose and multiple brushes which can be interchangeably attached to the hose depending on the desired spray characteristics. A hose spool is disposed for rotation in the hose housing, and a spray hose is stored on the hose spool. A brush coupling assembly terminates at a distal end of the spray hose. Various brushes of different design are interchangeably attachable to the brush coupling assembly. A flow control valve is connected to the spray hose through a supply hose. The flow control valve is connected to a source of pressurized water through a source hose. Accordingly, pressurized water may be supplied to the brush through the source hose, flow control valve, supply hose, spray hose and brush coupling assembly, respectively. A water spray is discharged from the brush onto an item to be cleaned.

WASHING APPARATUS
A washing apparatus for viewing an obscured surface to be cleaned via a camera includes a base tube defining a base channel and an extension tube defining an extension channel. The extension tube is removably attachable to the base tube such that the base channel and the extension channel are in fluid communication with each other. A cleaning attachment is removably attachable to either one of the base tube and the extension tube and may be shaped to allow fluid to flow from the base channel or the extension channel and toward a surface to be cleaned. A camera is attached to the extension tube and is oriented to face the cleaning attachment when the cleaning attachment is attached to the extension tube.
