We purchased this Square Rainfall Shower head with a hand held spray head, based on the positive reviews and the exceptional pricing. When we received it...... WOW, even better than we could have expected. This thing is built like a tank, and beautiful. This is the best looking shower combo we have ever seen, it puts all the kits we have looked at in all the major home improvement centers we have visited to shame! The price also put them to shame, $168 vs. $300 - $600, for the same type offering, give me a break!
Two things we took notice of in the reviews;
1.) The complaint of hammering pipes! So to head off that possible problem, we installed a 2-Pack of 1/2-Inch Straight Male Sweat Copper Water Hammer Arrestor. We installed these even though in the description it stats "The pressure balance valve has built-in two check valves to effectively eliminate water hammer noise." Better safe than sorry, and it's a $20 insurance policy!
2.) The reversed water temperature handle! The cold, when turning to the left, and hot, when turning to the right. We have always seen the reverse, in every situation, whether it be a Hotel or the simple one handle shower valve. Always turn to the left for hot and to the right or the cold. If I'm wrong then the valve is correct. Well, I install is and sure enough, my wife turned the handle to the left expecting hot water and, YES it was cold, a verified complaint. So I reversed the piping so the hot water supply line now goes to the valves "COLD" inlet, and the cold supply line now goes to the valves "HOT" inlet. I think it's now correct but, more important, the wife is happy, so the law has been laid down!
I think I covered the negative reviews that concerned me, as for the black paint coming off, I purchased the Brushed Nickel kit, so that won't be a problem!
This thing is amazing, built better than any system I've ever seen. Packaged like a Kings Crown, so skillfully, that even UPS couldn't damage it, and I've seen packages where they have succeeded! And Customer service, it was excellent, also better than expected. The install was easy (except for reversing the supply lines, and installing the arrestors). We installed this in a bath tub conversion, to a tiled shower, and it looks magnificent! Don't be put off by any of the negative reviews. I'm sure some of them are completely absurd, reading like they were installing someone else shower kit. And others that may have other problems that may need fixing, or they are just dated. Either way, I believe you won't be sorry if you decide to purchase this shower kit, we absolutely LOVE IT!
