Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the body-sensed temperature difference between the bathroom and bath-tub so as to make the bathing comfortable during the winter season by providing the bathroom with a sprinkler through which hot water is supplied to quickly fill the bathroom space with steam to raise the temperature and humidity in the bathroom. CONSTITUTION:When an operating switch 16 is pressed, a valve 12 is opened to cause water to flow to a sprinkler side hot water supply line 11. Upon such an operation, water is also caused to flow in the feed water line 4. Sensing the water flow, a water flow switch 5 outputs an ON signal which is detected by a controller 17 to activate a heater 3. At the same time, the controller 17 controls the heater 3 to equalize the values at a hot water temperature setting unit 15 and a temperature sensor 6, and hot water which is regulated by the temperature setting unit 15 is sprinkled from a sprinkler 13 into the bathroom 10 to cause the steam to fill and heat the bathroom space 10. The temperature and humidity in the bathroom can automatically be raised. By reducing the body-sensed temperature difference between the bath-tub and bathroom during the winter season, a comfortable bathing environment can be provided.
