Claim Text:
1. A shower, a bath, sink, kitchen, or other faucet head or body assembly including a time-based water parameter display apparatus, said time-based water parameter display apparatus, comprising: an electronic display apparatus either connected by a water pipe union, joint mechanism, articulated joint mechanism, or located remotely to a shower, sink, bath, kitchen or other faucet head or body assembly, said water pipe union, joint mechanism or articulated joint mechanism having a wired communication means, or said remotely located display means having a wired or wireless electronic communication means; said electronic display including electrical circuitry, a microprocessor, and a power supply said electronic display optionally having activator or touch screen functionality; a timing parameter, said timing parameter monitoring and exhibiting the cumulative time since the water flow has been initiated on said display; a temperature sensor in communication with said electrical circuitry; a flow sensor in electrical communication with said electrical circuitry; said electronic display apparatus in electrical communication with said electrical circuitry, said electrical circuitry having a programmable microprocessor that is designed to simultaneously or sequentially show temperature, timing and water flow rate parameters on a said electronic display apparatus; a verbal or audio communication means designed to communicate with said electrical circuitry and said microprocessor for processing certain operational instructions; said microprocessor having programmed software instructions, and/or said electrical circuitry has audio filters, to reject, discern or attenuate certain frequencies that interfere with said audio or verbal commands, and; wherein said time-based water parameter display apparatus includes an over-ride mechanism in the situation where any audio or verbal commands are not properly received or misinterpreted, said over-ride mechanism comprising an electronic button or switch located on said kitchen, shower, sink, bath or other faucet head or body assembly that electrically communicates with said electrical circuitry.
