Abstract
A water diverter for placement in a water delivery spout, and a water delivery spout in association with the water diverter. The diverter has a water diverting member for directing water flowing through the spout to a selectable delivery destination, a temperature sensor to be disposed in the flowing water, and a temperature display for reporting the temperature of the water as measured by the temperature sensor. Preferably, the water diverter member, temperature sensor and temperature display are connected to each other, with a hand-operable knob disposed exteriorly of the spout to effectuate movement of the water diverting member while being in communication with the temperature sensor to thereby function as the temperature display.
