Why Choose the Auto-Drain® Shower System?
Stagnant water can create a rich environment for the growth of Legionella and other waterborne pathogens. While current construction and practices have been designed to reduce water stagnation, shower areas remain a top concern.
The Auto-Drain® Shower System is the first-of-its-kind shower designed to help reduce water that is sitting in the valve, pipes, and hoses of the shower system. Drains integrated into the valve and hand spray hose remove water from the system after each use. Purging residual water helps to prevent the growth of harmful waterborne pathogens, like Legionella.
Auto-Drain commercial shower systems are ideal for hospitals, nursing homes, long term care, assisted living, schools, gyms, athletic centers, stadiums, churches, camps, offices and other places where showers may be shut down for periods of time.
Auto-Drain® System Components
Auto-Drain® Shower Valve with Scald Protection
Provides protection from scalding and thermal shocks by monitoring water temperature and/or pressure. It includes a choice of two valve and five trim designs and an integrated or separate drain valve. When shower is shut off, water drains automatically from the valve in less than a minute.
Diverter Valve
Allows user to switch between shower head and hand shower.
Auto-Drain® Hand Spray and Hose
After each use, water is drained automatically from the spray and hose. Choice of flexible stainless steel or vinyl hoses with drain and integral air vent. Great for new or retrofit projects.
Sustainable Shower Heads and Hand Sprays.
Chicago Faucets has expanded the Auto-Drain shower fittings to include the use of low-flow 1.5 GPM shower heads and hand sprays. This complies with California Green Building Standards.

MaineHealth’s Maine Medical Center
Case Study
MaineHealth’s Maine Medical Center—one of the largest hospitals in northern New England—has taken a proactive approach to tackling the risk of waterborne pathogens in patient showers. Rather than waiting for an incident, they implemented an Auto‑Drain® Shower System in both existing patient rooms and all 98 rooms of their new Malone Family Tower (opened mid‑2024). Download the case study for the full story.

New! Conversion Shower Trim Kit for Retrofit Projects
The Auto-Drain® Retrofit Trim Plate simplifies the conversion of existing shower systems to Auto-Drain® technology. Its oversized design conceals larger wall openings commonly encountered during retrofit projects, reducing the need for wall reconstruction, tile repair, and extensive finishing work.
The result is a faster, cleaner installation that helps facilities upgrade shower systems with minimal disruption to occupied spaces.
Avoid Outbreaks of Legionella
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention the main focus should be all types of healthcare facilities. Recent examples include: an Ohio hospital had a Legionnaires’ disease outbreak that resulted in eight illnesses and one death. One month later, an Atlanta Hotel had an outbreak that resulted in 11 guests diagnosed with Legionnaires’ disease. This is a life-threatening form of pneumonia that occurs when the Legionella bacterium is inhaled.
Since Covid-19 many closed or limited use buildings with showers have not resumed regular busy hours. It is not just hospitals, long term care centers or clinics that should be concerned about Legionella. Hotels, schools, offices and athletic facilities may also have the Legionella bacterium in their water systems.
