BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

This section is intended only to provide background information pertaining to the similar field of the present invention, and may be used only to enhance the understanding of the present invention and not as admissions of prior art. Bathing is a common technique to clean body and to rinse our skin from dirt, bacteria, and other external accumulations on our skin. From long ancient times bathing is performed by splashing water from rivers, ponds, oceans on our bare naked skins. However, in lower temperature regions and in winter seasons, bathing is a challenging as one may e prone to catch cold and other issues related thereto. Therefore, in order to maintain the temperature of water according to the ambient temperature and to suit the human body, water heaters and geysers were introduced.

Several advancements have been done to improve the utilisation of the conventional geysers such as fully automated and / or semi- automated. Conventional geysers are connected to the water supply taps or showers to release hot water, when in operation. However, there are certain limitations with the conventional geysers such as no real time monitoring of temperature, manual mixing of hot and cold water, burning sensation in certain cases. Furthermore, conventional geysers employ manual interventions in most of their functions, and have tedious impact in the washrooms while taking a bath.

Therefore, in view of foregoing discussion, there is a need to overcome the abovementioned limitations associated with the conventional geysers.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

In view of the limitations of the existing conventional geysers as discussed above, it is evident that there arises a need for an advanced and multipurpose geyser equipped with modern accessories. In an aspect, a multipurpose geyser is provided. The multipurpose geyser includes a body including a replaceable skin at an outer surface; an inlet valve coupled to the body, for receiving supply water inside the body; a heating arrangement for heating the water, the heating arrangement comprises a coil element connected to power supply; an outlet valve coupled to the body, for releasing the hot water; a controller arrangement to control supply and heating; a digital clock for displaying time and ambient temperature; a music-cum-radio player connected to a speaker for playing music and broadcasting; an application module coupled to the controller. The application module is configured with automation software to automate the functioning of the multipurpose geyser; a built in dispenser for dispensing fragrance fluid; a converter for softening the hard water; a battery module coupled to the power supply; and a display device coupled to the application module and controller arrangement. In an embodiment, the multipurpose geyser further includes a miniature circuit breaker multipurpose geyser for auto power cut when in increased load. The automation software includes IOT (Internet of Things) software. In an embodiment, the multipurpose geyser further includes a remote device coupled to the controller arrangement for controlling remotely, the remote device may include cellular phones, PDA, tablets, and a combination thereof.

In a further embodiment, the multipurpose geyser further includes a shower coupled to the outlet valve. In an embodiment, the multipurpose geyser further includes a Bluetooth module operatively coupled to the controller arrangement. In an embodiment, the multipurpose geyser further includes Wi-Fi module operatively coupled to the controller arrangement.
