Abstract

PURPOSE:To predict easily the time to end water fill-up work at the time of filling hot water, by installing an indicator which displays a water level responding to the difference between a water level in a bath tub detected by a water level detector and a water level predetermined by a water level setting instrument. CONSTITUTION:When a water level signal is output from a water level detector 14 to a remote control circuit 25 by way of a burner control circuit 16, an indication signal which responds to the difference between a water level signal and a preset water signal transmitted from a water level setting switch 24, is calculated in a differential water level arithmetic operation circuit 25A, and is displayed on an indicator 23. Therefore, the difference between a water level in a bath tub and a preset water level is displayed on the indicator 23 at the time of filling a bath tub with hot water, which makes it possible for a user to know the difference between the bath tub water level and the preset water level by observing the indicator 23. At the same time, a user can predict easily the time to end water fill-up work from the differential water level displayed on the indicator 23 at the time of filling the bath tub with hot water.

), (12), and return pipe (7) to the bathtub (1)
supplied to By supplying hot water to the bathtub (1), the bathtub (
When the water level in 1) is higher than the pressure conduit (15), the water level detector (14) detects the bath water level based on the pressure from the bathtub (1). Then, the water level signal is detected by the water level detector (14)
It is output from the combustor control circuit (16) to the remote control control circuit (25). Then, a display signal corresponding to the difference between the water level signal and the set water level signal from the water level setting switch (24) is calculated by the water level difference calculation circuit (25A) and displayed on the display (23). When the bathtub water level is 10 cm lower than the set water level, the remote control control circuit (2
The display device (23) displays 10 based on the display signal output from 5) to the display device (23). When the water level of the bathtub gradually rises due to hot water being supplied to the bathtub (1), the detected water level signal changes and the difference between the detected water level signal and the set water level signal becomes smaller. Then, the display signal changes and the water level difference between the numbers displayed on the display (23) gradually decreases.
