here is the information for installation: Quick Installation (Easiest Way): a. Measure and attach 2 brackets onto wall. make sure the hose will reach the shower pipe from your mounting location. Included anchors are for tile surface. Be sure to use a masonry or ceramic drill bit. Fiberglass enclosures will need a different "toggle style" adapter to attach the brackets. Be sure to silicone around the bracket if attaching to fiberglass. b. Notch the side of the unit where the hose exits. Depending on the material of the shower panel construction, different tools can be used for this purpose. c. Using an assistant, attach the shower panel to the shower pipe, and hang the panel onto the 2 brackets, making sure it is "locked" into place by pulling downward onto it, and moving side to side to make certain it is affixed onto the brackets. d. Although this is the easiest way, you may notice the pressure is not strong enough to run all the showerheads simultaneously. This is because both the hot and cold feed run through a single hose before being distributed to the showerheads. (You may want to test the pressure with an assistant before attaching the unit to the wall this way) 2. Remodel (Best Way) a. On the back of the shower panel, remove the "T" connector that connect the hot and cold water lines along with the input hose. Shut off the water at the main using a curb key. Close the valves at the water heater (figure A). Next, turn off the power to the water heater. Open the hot and cold at the bathroom faucet to relieve the pressure in the lines. Then, open the valve (figure B) to let the remaining water out. Remove the shower arm using slip-joint pliers to loosen it first. Remove any parts you can from the valve body (figure C). Use a hacksaw to cut the water line where you can leave as much copper pipe as possible above the valve body (figure D), then cut either the hot or cold line. Using slip-joint pliers, unscrew the old valve (figure E) off the male adapter and remove. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prepping the Pipes Install a compression fitting (figure A) to replace the adapter that was just removed from the hot or cold line. Apply Teflon paste to the threads on the end of the cold and hot water line (figure B). Hand tighten the factory provided female adapters to the threads (figure C), then tighten down with pliers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hanging the Body Shower: Before installing the anchors, place a piece of painters tape over the spot where you'll be drilling the hole. This helps prevent damage to the tile. Using your drill with a tile bit, drill the hole into the tile. Apply silicone caulk to the anchor for a good seal. Follow the manufacturers instructions when installing anchors. Place the anchor into the hole, then set the screw. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mounting the Body Shower Attach the stainless steel water line to the adapters (figure A) installed earlier, then tighten with pliers. Mount the body shower by lining up the bolts over the keyholes on the back of the unit (figure B). Start with the top and work your way to the bottom. Tighten the nut onto the shower bolt located on the bottom of the body shower (figure C), then tighten with pliers. Install the two side screws using a Phillips screwdriver. Next, install the side panels (figure D). Place the shower arm into the holder, then attach the hose to the male adapter on the unit. Connect the water lines to the female adapter on the back of the cover plate (figure E). Put the cover plate on, then snap on the decorative plates around the jets. Turn on the water at the main, then turn on the water and power to the water heater. Turn on the shower and allow the water to cycle through, then test the temperature to ensure the anti-scald valve is working properly. Finally, install the handle and tighten the setscrew (figure F). Do It Yourself: Ed the Plumber 3. New Construction or Major Remodel (Best Way) a. On the back of the shower panel, remove the "T" connector that connect the hot and cold water lines along with the input hose. Install the hot and cold lines at about 5' height and 4" apart with ball valves pointing downward for easy hose attachment and shower panel connection and removal for service without having to turn the water off to the entire residence. b. attach brackets. Remember to measure carefully!

Some people love them, some don't. I've had people lump them into the whirlpool tub category. Where they use them everyday for the first week. Then once a week for the next month. Then they only remember they are there when company comes over. Personally I don't particularly care for them. My wife doesn't like them either. We like our 12" rainhead and our regular head, but chose to omit body sprays in our own master shower. If you do consider sprays you may have to increase the size of the shower drain. I'd reference your local code during the planning stage to prevent any surprises during construction.

Delta Shower Systems are really great. We deal with them every day and they are really an industry leader. All Delta products have a lifetime warranty on both operation and finish so you really can't go wrong. They have a great parts replacement department to help if anything goes wrong. It's a little tricky to put together a shower system with everything needed for installation. Here's a guide we wrote we can help: https://faucetlist.com/blogs/buying-guides/shower-systems With regards to body sprays, Delta has a new style called HydraChoice Body Spray Jets. HydraChoice body sprays automatically pop-out of the wall when you turn on the water.. It is also possible to angle them as you choose once they are pop-out. Read more about these body sprays and watch a video of them in action...they are really cool! https://faucetlist.com/blogs/buying-guides/delta-shower-system-hydrachoice-body-sprays-with-video In regards to whether they are worth it, there are a few things to consider. If you are often cold when you take a shower or have a drafty bathroom then body sprays can help make sure you stay warm. They are designed to surround you with water which is very pleasant. I suppose worth it could also mean do they add value to your home. Well a shower system in the master bath have been shown to increase home value. So why not enjoy your shower while you live there and sell the house for more if you ever move! These images show a shower system with HydraChoice Body sprays, a handheld shower, and a showerhead

I put in the handheld for a couple of reasons, one is that the hose allows the head to be moved around and hung from other points in the shower. Example; I have a head bracket in the wall down low, my wife sometimes hangs the head on that when she's shaving her legs, etc. Or the hose allows you to easily use the head to rinse down the walls and floor of the shower. Some people use it to wash their kids or even their dogs. One thing I learned a few years ago is that handhelds are no longer the cheap leaking showerheads that I grew up with back in the 70s. Hand held heads are now the same fine quality shower heads that go on a shower arm, except they're mounted on a (ta da!) handle. The only caution I'll offer is that rain heads have a gentle flow, it's not the vigorous spray that typical shower heads provide. Some people with long hair would find rinsing shampoo from their hair to be a slow process. So don;t plan on a rain head as your "main" shower head.
