I do not have this brand of shower panel/column, but I do have a DreamLine brand product (DreamLine SHCM-2718-00 to be specific). If you are interested in the concept but not the specific one you mentioned, do a web search for "shower panel" or "shower column" and you should get a number of hits. We have had ours for almost a year and we like it, but have ended up not using the jets that much. Ours has a rain shower head and a separate hand shower, both are well used. The jets are not as powerful as I had hoped, but it is not bad for an all-in-one unit. I do not know if a more expensive unit would provide more powerful jets, I think the only way that will really happen is if you get a shower system where you plumb the jets into the wall. When I was looking for mine I wanted separate knobs for each function and the ability to use them all at once if I wished (which cuts down on water pressure of course). Make sure to take into consideration how you want to use it because many of them can only do one function at a time. Also take into consideration the placement of the jets on the unit; you have to imagine where they would be hitting you and if you want to be hit there! Even adjustable ones can only be adjusted so much. Of course you can place the panel at whatever height you want, but you can only go so high or low due to the shower head. Installation was easy; I think it was easier than putting in the standard shower trim on the other side (we have a 2 person shower). I do remember that besides DreamLine the brand Hansgrohe had several. Hope that helps.

We had a Hansgrohe Tower installed last year. It has spray, shower or spray/shower modes. When both are on, the output from each is reduced (by 30-40% maybe ????) This unit has 5 jets rated at 1gpm, and a showerhead rated at 2.5gpm ,,,,,, total max flow would be 10gpm at 65psi. Perhaps because of this lower output the jets donÂt "sting" at all, which would turn me off. My water pressure is a consistent 67-70psi and I wouldnÂt want it any higher. Buy a $5 gauge and find your systems pressure then check your towers requirements. I thought I read somewhere that you can buy pressurizing systems that bump it up .... KC

I have an older model for my outdoor shower. for the money it is fine. I have incredible water pressure at my house and even with only half inch pipes leading to it it is a nice massage but if you do not have great water pressure it is not impressive. My parents' well water and 1/2 inch pipes make it's jets and multiple heads used simultaneously useless. Mine is atleast four years old and we did need to replace the rain head last year for the orginal rusted out but to be fair it is keep in the sun and rain for five months out of the year. here is my older model after more than 4years of use It was for a while my favorite shower but last year we added a master shower with hard plumbed jets, hand held and rain head with 3/4 pipes for even better pressure, a thermostatic valve to maintain temp and pressure control and three separate water control handles so we can use one, two or three water sources at a time. We have an instantaneous water heater so we never run out of hot water and try to remember to not use it for to long or too often as to not waste to much water and energy. This shower is my oasis! Water pressure I think is a woman's best friend and the jets are haven to me but this set up was substantially more expensive and not a retro fit like a tower is. I much prefer my hard plumbed set up to my shower tower but honestly it is like comparing a Kia to an Audi in cost and not an apples to apples comparison. the set up I prefer. for better therapeutic results if your budget supports this upgrade I recommend this.
