Recommend a hand held multi spray shower head
Comments (3)Another Hansgrohe Raindance AIR handshower here. I like it very much. The "air assist" gives the flow plenty of power for hair rinsing. It only has three settings, though--fine for me, but you may be looking for more....See MoreNeed help with hand held shower head
Comments (2)That might do...but what what I'm looking for only has one shower head. The waterpik that we had previously was hand held, but the bracket or mount that held it allowed the head to sit lower so that the actual spray head was at "normal" height.

Comments (1)Glad the threads you read were of help. Easiest, and often times the most user-friendly, is two supply valves, one for each head. With two bathers, each can select their own water temp. In general, that can be achieved most economically by using two two pressure balance valves at an economical price. Diverter valves and their trim can often be as expensive as a supply valve and its trim. Obviously you can price things out through the manufacturer of your choice: -Two individual supply valves and their trim. -A single supply valve and its trim plus a diverter and its trim. When you get into diverters, then you have all sorts of choices...the diverter can supply one head OR the other, but NOT BOTH simultaneously...OR it can supply one head OR the other, as well as BOTH simultaneously. As you wrote, with a PB valve you may not get temperature control at any volume. Volume control at any water temp can be of value, it depends on how you use your shower. To do that, you're right, it can be accomplished with a thermostatic valve. To be fair, there are some PB valve that offer that as well, you'd have to shop around to find one. But for the most part, PB valves at low flow will only give you cold water. My own shower, we have two PB valves that supply two individual heads. I do like the ability to have different water temps out of the two different heads. You're certainly on the right track. It's simply a matter now of balancing features versus budget, etc....See MoreSuggestions for new shower head w/hand held sprayer
Comments (0)Looking at a house with the Master Bath shower recently redone with a rain head shower from the ceiling.I want to add a standard shower head from the wall with a hand held sprayer, both adjustable. It already has a thermostatic valve control. Would prefer minimal holes to drill with the new marble. Would have access to the plumbing through a closet. Any suggestions? All info greatly appreciated!...See Moredlg71261
