At least one electrically operable valve being operable to control water flow from a water supply to the shower fitting; a micro-controller with a processor in communication with the valve and controlling operation of the valve. A sensor disposed in an electrical line supplying electrical power to the valve. An electrical power storage device configured to supply electrical power to the micro-controller and the valve upon loss of electrical power. The processor being configured to detect the loss of electrical power based on signals from the sensor and, upon detecting the loss of electrical power, continues operation of the shower system for a preselected time period and, upon the expiration of the preselected time period, closes the at least one electrically operable valve thereby terminating the flow of water to the shower fitting.
