Claim:
A bathtub monitor system for monitoring a water level in a bathtub, said system comprising: a faucet providing an incoming water flow for said bathtub; an input water unit receiving the incoming water flow from said faucet and capable of passing through or shutting off the incoming water flow; and a detecting unit capable of detecting said water level, said detecting unit receives the incoming water flow from said input water unit and passes the incoming water flow into said bathtub, said detecting unit including a plurality of telescopically joined tubes slidely disposed relative to each other; said plurality of telescopically joined tubes comprises: at least one non-lowest tube including an uppermost tube fixedly joined to said input water unit, said at least one non-lowest tube has sidewalls and is associated with at least one sensor, and a lowest tube built floatable, such that said lowest tube is capable of movement relatively to said uppermost tube following the water level, said lowest tube has sidewalls and is associated with a position indicator indicating said water level relatively to said at least one sensor; wherein: said at least one sensor is substantially associated with said position indicator; and said at least one sensor is associated substantially with said input water unit so that capable of causing a shutoff of said input water unit when said water level reaches a predetermined shutoff water level.
