Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0864700A2] The object of the invention is a shower arrangement, the operation of which is controlled by a position-sensitive sensor (7). The sensor (7) detects objects in two different distance ranges, that is in a proximal field (8) and in a remote field (9). A control block (10) stops the water inlet upon an object in the remote field (9) leaving the remote field or upon the sensor receiving another perception from an object in the proximal field. The shower arrangement according to the invention is easy to use and decreases the waste discharge of water. <IMAGE>
