GORGEOUS for our remodel! Great deal and looks pricey! Read Install Instructions and the TIPS before having it installed.
This is GORGEOUS! We did a master bath remodel and I searched various other sites to look for a chrome modern shower handle, separate handheld and larger rainfall shower head. The others didn't have the entire set, sold items separately or were overpriced. I keep coming back to to look at this particular one. I was a little leary, since it was not a well known brand. I read the reviews and the QandA section numerous times. We took a chance and purchased it. We had a professional plumber come out to install this. I read some of the comments to him, from the reviewers on here, to ensure that he doesn't miss a thing. Since we had the shower demo'd to the studs, he was able to read the instructions and make sure the Nipple is out far enough, to account for the durock and the width of the actual tile that we were installing. I have attached pics so you can see what it looked like before, during and after. This is beautiful! Note: I always wipe down all of the chrome after showering or cleaning, so there are no water spots. I use a very soft terry cloth and no harsh cleansers. I usually use a little white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. It shines like new, when you take care of it. 5 STARS!
TIPS: Downfalls:
1: Our water does not get HOT enough. I think there is a mechanism in there that prevents the water from getting too hot, our plumber could not locate it, after it was installed. I would have your plumber look for it before installing it!
2: You cannot use the rainfall shower head and the handheld at the same time. It's one or the other. This was a disappointment, as we like to shower together when we are in a rush. He'll use one and I'd use the other. But you cannot use the both together with this.
3: People have stated that the hot water and cold water are reversed. This is how it works...When the plumber installs it, per installation directions, everything IS correct. When you go to take a shower, look at the handle lever, how it is positioned. It is vertical, (facing up and down). We turned it the way we thought it should go, the top of the handle going towards the hot. Don't direct the handle using the top portion. Use the bottom of the handle to face it to the temperature that you want. It's the bottom of the handle that needs to point towards the temperature you need, not the top of the handle. Then you will get the correct temp. We are thinking of buying a little red dot sticker, to put on the bottom of the handle, so you would then know that the bottom of the handle, going towards the H, (Hot) will be hot. Hope this helps.
PS the seller also sends you an email with installation tips. The english is a little broken, but you can figure it out.
