Claim:
A bathtub spout covering system comprising: a faucet having a faucet body extending from a wall over a tub; and a bathtub spout cover comprising: A) a hollow body comprising: i) a front portion adapted to engage a forward end of the faucet body; ii) a top portion extending in a rearward direction from the front portion and adapted to engage an upper surface of the faucet body; iii) a left side portion extending in a downward direction from the top member and adapted to engage at least a portion of a left side of the faucet body; iv) a right side portion extending in a downward direction from the top member and adapted to engage at least a portion of a right side of the faucet body; and v) a bottom portion having a water outlet to allow water from the faucet to flow into the tub, the hollow body configured to receive the faucet body therein; B) a temperature sensor positioned within the water flow from the faucet; and C) the temperature sensor coupled to an electronic temperature display on the hollow body for displaying the temperature of the water sensed by temperature sensor and a temperature alarm on the hollow body comprising at least one of an audible alarm and a visual alarm, wherein the temperature alarm is configured to signal unsafe water temperature conditions sensed by the temperature sensor, wherein the display is mounted in a direction facing the tub and at an angle of at least five degrees relative to vertical, whereby the display is visible from any viewing height above the faucet, and the display includes a light source for backlighting of the display, the light source forms at least three distinct backlighting colors, and the displayed backlighting color is responsive to at least the tap water temperature as measured by the temperature sensor, wherein a first distinct backlighting color is indicative of water temperature that is below a desired range of water temperatures, a second distinct backlighting color is indicative of water temperature that is within a desired range of water temperatures, and a third distinct backlighting color is indicative of water temperature that is above a desired range of water temperatures.
