I hate having to run up and down the stairs waiting to see
when my bath reaches the required level. The
"bath-o-matic"
would have a sensor which indicates when the bath is at
the
required level and turn off the taps. It could also
incorporate
a temperature guage to ensure that the water
is the
correct
heat - therefore solving the many trips up and down
worrying
if it is going to overflow.
Baked.

No guage though. [angel, Oct 16 2001, last modified Oct 04 2004]

There *must* be something like this, if not for proper baths, then for baby baths. You just need a thermometer connected to the taps and an alarm. But I cannot find anything (just thermometers that float in your baby bath, and things for chemists' laboratories). Where's PeterSealy and his magic websearch? |

Assuming gizmomum is the mother of gizmo (of the popular Esco-Slide invention), is this the first parent/child Halfbakery team? As long as you don't vote against each other's ideas all the time, it'll be fine. |

This was gizmo's idea, but it got past bedtime and I had to
air his views. He is fed up of me nagging him to check the
bath when he has far more important things to do - watch
the simpsons, play on game consoles - oh and homework.
It must have been thought of before, but I'm encouraging
his ingenuity. - Esco-Slide was a good one. |

Sad but true: I have run gallons and gallons of water onto the kitchen floor whilst filling the sink and then getting distracted on the, well, let's just say it was a fascinating website. gizmomum, you should hie thee to a patent orifice and register some simple device that warns distractible idiots when their fluids are about to overflow.

I thought I'd covered the [sp] bit in my own snidey way. |

my cousin lives in Japan where, he says, this is entirely baked. He chooses a temperature and runs the bath which keeps itself at that temperature; a sensor stops the water before it runs over. I suppose it keeps itself at the right temperature if he doesn't get into it immediately - rather like sitting in a cauldron. I haven't asked about that part. |

Toilets have fill-level cutoffs. Should be relatively simple to rig up the toilet mechanism into a bathtub. Hire a plumber. No temperature regulation that way, but you can also buy temperature regulator faucet thingies (angel's link). |

blissmiss, you haven't videod yourself doing the 'ankles on fire dance' at all, have you? Just curious! |
|
| |
Every tub I've ever seen already had an overflow drain. Bathroom sinks, too. Unfortunately, they can't drain as fast as the taps can fill, so it only buys you a little time. |
|
| |
As for Japanese tubs, I've never seen one, but I'm told that Japanese bathrooms tend to be rather luxurious, even for the middle class. I think it might have something to do with a general lack of physical space everywhere else (zB, small apartments, small cars, small island....). |

im in year ten at school and as my electronics project i am mking a battery powered device to tell the user when the bath is run and if it is dangerously hot so if anyone has any idea of how o make one any information posted would be useful |
