Bath-O-Matic Fills Your Tub for $8000

Fine, it's a little more complex than that. The Bath-O-Matic from Unique Automation is an automated bathtub filler that draws a bath just the way you like it. Through a touch screen interface, bathers can choose the temperature and height of the water, as well as any combination of oils, bubbles and fragrances.

The Bath-O-Matic is equipped to run on home automation equipment from AMX and Crestron if you want to fill your tub from the comfort of your couch, and can fit on tubs both old and new. It also includes a motorized plug so no water is wasted, and adjusts to pressure and outside temperature so you won't have to worry about getting burned. Just slap a toaster and an iPod on this baby, and I think we have a real winner. It sells for 4000 (about $8000) so you better get one before supplies run out. [Bath-O-Matic via CE Pro]

I'm betting you could mod one of those automatic drink maker setups to do this much cheaper. Any takers?

I have a cheaper way to fill my tub! It's called a lover, and he even puts in oils/bubbles/fragrances and such, and then he helps dry me off! ;)
He's free!

Wait a minute. Everybody and their mother is going "Green" and these people are suggesting you take MORE baths? Wasting MORE water? If I spent 8 grand, I'd have to draw a bath every day to get my use out of it. That's not green at all.

Unless that thing gives me an around the world, cleans up afterwards, then freshens my balls with a scent of my choosing, I can't see this being worthwhile.

@kendra68: and you with your... "love" and "care" and "cherishing one another"...

what the hell are you doing on the internet? This is not a place for people with souls.

@bgplpshep: From that last picture, I think it runs a Scholastic math game from 1986.

I don't remember seeing a bathtub on Star Trek: The Next Generation, but that's probably what its control panel would have looked like.

You could make it able to start your bath from your mobile phone and still come in under $1000 easy. Absurd price.

I just checked with my swimming pool supplier friend -> he says he can build me a system with these features for under 2000$ usd. SHUH-WHEEEEEEAT!!! I'll spend the saved 6000$ on a kick ass flat screen at the end of the tub, on high end liquor to fill the automatic dispenser, and on a Realdoll to help keep me company in my giant automatic bathtub. Mmmmm, REALdoll, sometimes better than the REAL thing (especially if the REAL thing is a 370 pound hairy gorilla named Bubba that likes to conjoin with you in your private jailcell.)

@Lorne: Here's a scary thought: Does the tub speak and does the voice of the tub sound like Majel Barret Rodenberry?
