Shower Systems and Related Methods

A shower system comprising:

• a transfer device configured to selectively alternate between a drain state, in which water exiting a shower pan of a shower flows to a waste outlet, and a retention state, in which water exiting the shower pan does not flow to the waste outlet;
• a freshwater valve configured to selectively alternate between a freshwater state, in which freshwater from a freshwater source flows to a showerhead of the shower, and a recirculation state, in which freshwater from the freshwater source is prevented from flowing to the showerhead;
• a recirculation pump switchable between an on state and an off state and configured to, when in the on state, move water exiting the shower pan to the showerhead;
• a controller comprising one or more processors;
• and
• one or more non-transitory, computer-readable media comprised in the controller or communicatively coupled with the controller;
• wherein the one or more non-transitory, computer-readable media comprise instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• initiate switching of the transfer device between the drain state and the retention state;
• initiate switching of the freshwater valve between the freshwater state and the recirculation state;
• and
• initiate switching of the recirculation pump between the on state and the off state.
