A functional unit ( 1 ) for a shower toilet ( 2 ), having at least the features listed below: at least one shower device ( 3 ) for dispensing a liquid; a liquid heater ( 5 ) for heating the liquid; and a limescale filter ( 6 ) for filtering the liquid. Additionally, a shower toilet ( 2 ) having such a functional unit ( 1 ).

The invention relates to a plumbing fixture ( 1 ) for a shower system ( 2 ), at least comprising a supply line ( 3 ) for supplying at least one liquid towards an outlet ( 4 ) of the plumbing fixture ( 1 ); a first connection ( 5 ) to the supply line ( 3 ) for switchably connecting the supply line ( 3 ) to a compressed-air line ( 6 ); wherein a liquid present in the supply line ( 3 ) can be purged through the outlet ( 4 ) via the compressed-air line ( 6 ).

A water faucet having an adjustable cartridge for the infinitely variable mixing of a cold-water flow and a hot-water flow to form a mixed-water flow, having a first adjustability, and having an operating lever, which is connected to the first adjustability via a transmission mechanism such that the mixing ratio of cold water and hot water can be set by a temperature setting motion of the operating lever, the temperature setting motion being a rotary motion about an axis of rotation, the transmission mechanism having a stop, which limits a movement of the first adjustability in the direction of more hot water at a threshold setting, the stop being designed such that the operating lever is brought into an unlocking position by an unlocking motion deviating from the temperature setting motion, such that further movement in the direction of more hot water is made possible beyond the threshold setting.

The present invention relates to a screen. The screen a) is annular, b) is designed to filter water in a thermostatic valve, c) can be transferred from a first state into an additional state, d) has a first circumference in the first state, and e) has an additional circumference in the additional state. The screen is characterized in that the additional circumference is greater than the first circumference. The invention also relates to a thermostatic valve comprising the screen; to a thermostat fitting comprising the thermostatic valve; to a method comprising connecting the screen to a thermostatic valve body; and to a use of the screen in a thermostatic valve or in a thermostat fitting or in both.

A sanitary shower ( 1 ), at least comprising: a housing ( 2 ) having at least one feed duct ( 4 ) for a liquid, opening into a pulsator chamber ( 3 ), a spray plate ( 5 ) having a great number of outlet nozzles ( 6 ) for the liquid, a plurality of chambers ( 7, 8 ), each of which is connected to the pulsator chamber ( 3 ) via a chamber inlet ( 9, 10 ), wherein the liquid can be supplied through each of the chambers ( 7, 8 ) to at least one outlet nozzle ( 6 ) of the spray plate ( 5 ), and a pulsator disk ( 11 ) arranged in the pulsator chamber ( 3 ) and movable by the liquid in such a way that the pulsator disk ( 11 ) can at least partially close at least one of the chamber inlets ( 9, 10 ) in an alternating manner.

This invention relates to a system for detecting leakages in a fluid-bearing structure, the system comprising at least a local arrangement arranged at a fluid-bearing structure and comprising at least a valve for closing a fluid line of the fluid-bearing structure to create a hydrostatic subnetwork within the fluid-bearing structure, a pressure sensor ( 2 ) for measuring the fluid pressure in the hydrostatic subnetwork, a processing unit ( 3 ), an operating unit ( 10 ), whereby the processing unit ( 3 ) is adapted to direct the valve to close itself, to direct the pressure sensor ( 2 ) to measure the fluid pressure, to transmit a measured designated value to the operating unit ( 10 ), to direct the valve to open itself, whereby the operating unit ( 10 ) is adapted to receive a measured designated value from the processing unit ( 3 ), to command the processing unit ( 3 ) to direct, to determine a leakage likelihood and a measurement duration associated with the arranged fluid-bearing structure based on a calculated fluid pressure difference, to build a multi-dimensional latent space model based on multiple pressure differences between the measured fluid pressure and a predefined reference fluid pressure and based on the corresponding measurement duration of each pressure difference, to apply a clustering method to the built latent space in order to define at least two clusters, whereby the clusters represent different confidence levels regarding the detection of a leakage, to transform consecutive pressure measurements into a multi-dimensional data representation representing an individual fluid-bearing structure, to determine to which cluster the transformed multi-dimensional data representation belongs in order to yield the leakage confidence level of the corresponding fluid-bearing structure.

A sanitary faucet ( 1 ) having a mixing valve ( 2 ) for mixing cold water and warm water to form mixed water having a desired mixed-water temperature, wherein the mixed-water temperature can be set by rotating a control disk ( 3 ) of the mixing valve about a first axis of rotation ( 4 ); and a first control element ( 5 ), which can be rotated about a second axis of rotation ( 6 ) for actuating the control disk ( 3 ), wherein the second axis of rotation ( 6 ) does not extend in parallel to the first axis of rotation ( 6 ).
