A showerhead system with a normally open, temperature controlled first water valve coupled between a hot water source supply inlet and a purge outlet. The first water valve is configured to move from its normally open position to a closed position to restrict water passing from the hot water source supply inlet to the purge outlet when the temperature controlled water valve reaches a predetermined temperature. In a first mode, the first water valve purges water from the hot water source supply inlet through the purge outlet until the thermal actuator reaches the predetermined temperature. In a second mode, the first water valve blocks water entering the first water valve from passing through the purge outlet toward the showerhead outlet. In an optional third mode, a normally closed, manual second water valve is open and passes water through the showerhead outlet.
A showerhead system comprising:
A showerhead system comprising a temperature controlled first water valve coupled between a hot water source supply inlet and a purge outlet wherein the first water valve is configured to selectively purge water from the hot water source supply inlet through the purge outlet until the thermal actuator reaches the predetermined temperature and close when the thermal actuator reaches the predetermined temperature, directing water flow to a showerhead outlet separate from the purge outlet.
A showerhead water flow controller comprising:
