A multi-compartment walk-in bathtub is disclosed that allows for a first compartment of the walk-in bathtub to be filled with a quantity of water while a second compartment of the walk-in bathtub allows the user to enter the bathtub. A first movable gate contains a volume of water in the first compartment while the second compartment is in an unfilled condition. A second movable gate is operable to open and close an entry sidewall of the bathtub, allowing the user to enter the second compartment. The second movable gate is then moved to a closed position. When the second movable gate is in the closed condition, the first movable gate may be moved to an open condition to release the volume of water and fill the walk-in bathtub to a filled condition. A seat may be provided that is selectively elevated and lowered by drive mechanism.

Described is a multi-piece shower pan. The multi-piece shower pan includes a shower pan piece and a seat piece. The seat piece is formed to overlap a portion of the show pan piece during installation. The shower pan piece includes a drain hole designed to fit a drain pipe such that when the drain pipe is fastened to the shower pan piece, the drain pipe extends ½ to 2 inches above the bottom of the shower pan piece. Thus, when cement or other adhesive is floated on the interior surface of the shower pan, tiles of varying thickness can be installed in such a manner that the top surface of the tiles are flush with the top portion of the drain pipe. The shower pan piece also has a water dam with a fin as added protection against water migration outside the shower pan.

The present invention relates to a urine specimen capture device comprising a capture bowl to capture a urine specimen, a mounting frame connected to the capture bowl to support the capture bowl within a toilet bowl and one or more flush water capture flange for capturing flush water emitted from a toilet bowl rim during a toilet flush cycle and diverting the flush water to the capture bowl to rinse the capture bowl of the urine specimen.

A bathtub/shower arrangement (1) having a bathtub (2), a bathtub inlet (3), a shower head (4) and a switchover valve (5), by way of which switchover valve a water flow (6) is able to be switched between the bathtub inlet (3) and the shower head (4). The bathtub inlet (3) is arranged above the bathtub (2) at a first distance (7) from an upper edge (9) of the bathtub (2), and the shower head (4) is arranged at a second distance (8) above the bathtub (2) from the upper edge (9) of the bathtub (2), at least the first distance (7) is greater than the height (11) of a side wall (10) of the bathtub (2).

Providing a water treatment system with which it is possible to efficiently share a plurality of water utilization means including a shower, and with which it is possible to use drain water in environments in which it is difficult to secure water. The water treatment system containing shower stalls which, when input water is used by a user, output the used water as drain water, wherein treated water sensors are capable of detecting a given physical amount, or an amount based thereon, pertaining to at least a portion among the water input to each information processing device controlling the shower stalls and the drain water output from each of the shower stalls. An information generation unit generates information pertaining to the use by a user of each of the shower stalls based on at least a portion of the results from the treated water sensors.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a water treatment system with which it is possible to efficiently share a plurality of water utilization means including a shower, and with which it is possible to use drain water in environments in which it is difficult to secure water. Provided is a water treatment system containing shower stalls 5-1 to 5-4 which, when input water is used by a user, output the used water as drain water, wherein treated water sensors 4C-1 to 4C-4 are capable of detecting a given physical amount, or an amount based thereon, pertaining to at least a portion among the water input to each information processing device controlling the shower stalls 5-1 to 5-4 and the drain water output from each of the shower stalls 5-1 to 5-4. An information generation unit 102 generates information pertaining to the use by a user U of each of the shower stalls 5-1 to 5-4 on the basis of at least a portion of the results from the treated water sensors 4C-1 to 4C-4. This thus solves the abovementioned problem.

Movable bathtub assembly characterized in that all arms, joints and mechanism mounting structures are arranged below an upper edge (29) of a bathtub (1) supported by its legs (7) on a base (30) and situated in the bathing position, in principle horizontally, completely inside the space defined by the upper edge (29) of the bathtub (1), the base (30) and walls (36) adjusted to the bathtub (1), in such way, that the bathtub is displaced following the rotation of arms (2, 3) from its bathing position to its vertical position, where the concave side of the bathtub is directed towards the place of its center in the bathing position.
