Wayfair currently has this unit on sale and In my opinion it is worth the buy. only $199.00 get it while you can before it goes back on for regular price at over 500.00
Where are you located? I want to join you to learn in person..
@@mrh5916 You will have to become a member and keep an eye out for the local workshops we are going to start this October. Cheers!
Your unit looked damaged with a bend at the top.
Can you get pex and pex crimp tools in millimetres for Europe and the uk plumbing?
just a small bend, i used my rubber mallet to smooth it out. Cheers!
Quick tip: Run a bead of silicone around the hole behind the shower in a triangle formation. Any water that may run down the back wall will run down and around the silicone! Cheers.
Sick tip devil
l was looking in comments to see if someone mentioned this haha
I personally don't think it is that needed but if you want a little piece of mind then sure.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY I think you mean "peace of mind" hahah great video man.
That's a comment worth a beer.
Thank you so much for the drill bit tip Jeff. God bless you and your family my hermano.
Love your videos, you make everything look so easy!!! Great Job, keep it up...
Thank GOD & Jeff for this video... planning to install this unit in a couple months and this video is saving my bacon and sanity!! Scooped this unit up on Wayfair and can't wait to redo my shower.
Installed this model in one side (MY side) of a large 5' x 6' his and hers shower that I built as a pandemic project, having ripped out a huge tub that we never used. Love it. I regularly inspect the hole that the hoses pass thru via an access panel. No water or mold. Only problem I have had is too much flow! Without the flow restrictor, the body sprays shoot all the way to the other wall! I found that the proper wall height mounting for me is about eye level with the temperature display. Anyway, so far, so good. At least a couple of years now.
This is the most thorough and thoughtful diy video I’ve seen in a long while.
Cheers Ronnie, Thanks for the comment!
Love the videos. Do you have any examples of removing a bathtub and changing the setup into a walk-in shower?
Thanks for all the tips, it's definitely great getting tips from a pro. I'm looking to install one of these and wanted a few tips. I was looking on Wayfair myself but after watching your video I'm sold and a subscriber. Thank you for the knowledge you shared.
The silicone tip at the end was exactly what i needed to hear. My brain was really struggling with the big hole in the wall and the moisture build up. Thank you. your added info is so helpful.
Glad it helped!
Jeff, your videos are inspirational for DYI'ers like myself. I built a tiled shower with acrylic base and added a Wayfair system, similar but not the waterfall style, and gained the confidence needed. This bathroom reno is a bit of a nightmare as I only have one bathroom, and my wife has physical disabilities, hence the need for a walk in shower. Great work, keep them coming!
Hey Jeff. Love your channel. I think that shower is awesome. Keep the videos coming. Your very good at what you do!
When I had one of those installed, they just installed 2 threaded fittings out of the wall at the top of the panel. Don't have to worrie about water getting in the wall through a hole that way. Then just extend the hoses down the wall behind the panel.
thank you, watched before i started, pretty inclined in construction, but nice to see it play out infront of me,
Great video, very helpful! I found when installing grab bars in my Mom's shower, that drill bit you used to drill the holes in the tile was much more functional going at a lower speed. I was shocked the $10 bit bought at Ace was able to drill all the holes I needed to install two grab bars. Thanks for all the great tips!
Great video as always Jeff, I would like to add that these shower panel systems are designed for a international market and they follow International Plumbing code guidelines. That being said, the included installation directions are typically not the best resource for installing these systems, for a typical North American install I believe this video is a fantastic resource that should be included from the manufacturers selling shower units in North America.
Cheers!
He needs to do a video of humming - best part of the show. The tip about switching to hammer drill is also golden. Drilling in tile is painfully slow.
What an AWESOME ceramic drilling tip!!
The darn thing works well. Cheers!
The video was great. Simple easy instruction to follow anyone should be able to DIY at home.
Mr. Thorman used a laser to check that the holes for the mounting brackets were vertically aligned. It's also a good idea, after securing the shower tower to the wall, to check that the unit is centered as desired and isn't tilted, because typically each bracket allows considerable lateral play, almost equal to the width of the shower tower.
Thanks so much. Wasn't sure if those had a shower kit built in or if I needed to purchase one. You just saved me a trip and 80 bucks!
I bought these same exact units from Amazon for about $280 a piece. One unit arrived a little smashed up at the top but I took pliers to bend it back... good enough and both units work great after installation! This video was invaluable for gaining the confidence to install them myself. I did have to hire a plumber to install new shut-off valves. Easy peasy!!
You paid way way to much. I've installed at least 20 of these and usually pay between $115 and $140 depending on the model. After installing a bunch I like Ello and Allo
@@aaugusta1842 Yeah, back when I bought them in early 2021 it seemed that the supply chain around the world was blocked up due to Covid and prices were definitely higher than today.
Is it worth it to buy? Or shower head is better?
@@serhiiudod3604 It's been 2 years since I had these installed (2 bathrooms) and I love them. My family loves them. Everyone comments that it's like being at the spa. If I bought a new house I would install this same unit in the bathroom.
@JasonSigman thanks for responding
Would you leave the same one, or are there better options?
Great information 👍...you're one of the best 👌...I will be Installing one of those showers soon...never thought it was that easy following your advice..
thank you for the fabulous video! I am installing a shower panel and you helped me directly with issues I was wondering how best to solve.
Just bought a shower tower using your link re doing my master bath relying on a lot of your videos thank you!!!
Thank you, this video was a life saver.
Another great video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I always wondered how these get installed. We have copper plumbing so I dont think it will be as easy.
Just go from copper to pex, then you can follow the video.
yet another super useful DIy video! I installed one of these 15 years ago and it was a bit of a pita. I like your pex arrangement and will be doing it your way in my current bathroom reno. Though the Amazon shower panel I got does not have the seal along the side.
Nothing like a good doohickey to really help complete a job.
Thank u Man U a great teacher I look up a lot to your work great knowledge
Thank you Junior, we appreciate your thoughts. Cheers!
No wander you got over 2M subscribers, your teaching is fantastic. Thanks.
Awesome video. Those tiles are gorgeous.
full video on the tile, installation coming soon. Cheers!
Always awesome! The sheer markup with“luxury” in construction is massive. So interesting to see how simple and affordable it can be when you do it yourself!
If you hire a plumber for this then you will be spending 2 thousand for sure. Cheers!
Just had a $17,000 insurance claim for a client whose husband tried to do it himself. Leaking inside, cracked shower base, trying to save money definitely cost these people
@@vanderumd11 Sounds like someone with 0 experience.
This is a stupidly easy job to do and to do right (definitely would have more support for the mounting point than having it on a quickie 2x4 screwed to the stud)
Really easy to understand and usefull. Personally I would add on the top of the square in ceramics for pipes, a tinny plastic water deflector. Just in case if water comes along the wall upper than the shower head. It will protect when cleaning by scrubbing all tiles and heavy rinse....
You just got a sub the best teacher in the world straight up I done plumbing I'm decent and was impressed
Hello. Thank you for the video. It will be very helpful for my bathroom renovation project. My question is how should I do the plumbing to make the shower also compatible with a traditional shower setting, a shower, hot/cold valve, and bottom spout? Thanks in advance.
very helpful video. my shower panel mixture handle broke and i was so tensed. Now I can call pfister to replace the unit and install it myself. thanks you for the knowledge session.
From one pro to another, nice job brother.
I love these shower
Excellent video. Installing this tonight. Thx!
I don't know what we'll do without Jeff in our life.😘
very informative and well done- thank you
I love Wayfair I recommend their products to all my clients when I’m doing their shower remodels
Can a tankles electric water heater mess with the pressure if so installing booster pump resolve the problem?
Your overall and style is fantastic...nothing macho about your presentation, but certainly competent. I enjoyed the video and I'll enjoy your channel!
Thanks man, this was helpful
Thank for another helpful video Jeff!
I'm remodeling our bathroom and realizing my DIY skills need serious improvement when it comes to picking out colors. There are so many choices, themes, materials and examples to choose from. It would be great if you could go over some basic rules when it comes to picking out colors.
Do grey shower tiles go with tan tile floor?
Or stick with all white tile with off white paint?
Or stick with all earth tones?
We did find a picture of a bathroom we like, but we can't find the exact products/colors the builder used.
that is easy. get one you like and don't be afraid to change it!
Great video and install. I personally would install a thick tape or foam on the edge of the tile. I'm OCD about abrasion resistance.
the unit comes with a gasket on the edge. Cheers!
Great video, as always! I actually just bought a similar one after watching! Question though; mine has a thermometer readout, as it looks like yours did as well - does that require wiring of some sort?
Great video. How do you change the display from Celsius to Fahrenheit?
Would this be good for an already existing shower/bath combo? Thanks!
Is there a link for the shower unit?
With that many fitting in your supply line was there enough water pressure to run all the jets properly?
Looks great
Great vid, can I ask if this is a electric shower or thermostatic? I thought it was thermostatic as you have cold and hot water pipe going in, but then also saw wires behind panel and not sure what they're for so confused? Thanks
Love the videos.
I love your videos, they are easy to follow. I want to install a tower shower but I already have an existing plumbing for head shower. Any advice on what to do with the existing pipe and plumbing? Thanks in advance!
You can buy a shower tower/panel made for retrofits if you don't want to mess with it.
Do these types work with a separate booster for water pressure if we wanted more pressure? I know it will max out at the flow rate, but I would like the max flow rate. This was very helpful for a novice like me. Thank you!
28:24 Great shot of the gasket
Thanks....Great information excellent video
Is there anything that can be added to the exposed metal to prevent accidental injuries? Some sort of mouldings or something like that
Hi Jeff. Do we have to worry about water pressure at all when installing these? In other words, will these work w/ low water pressure. Also, would water pressure be impacted by more pex joints as opposed to less? Thanks
ohhh I want this
another great vid
Thank you Steve! Cheers!
Do you know what the recommended psi should be for water pressure? I have a 12" rain shower head the water pressure is ok, but I also want to add a large fixed/ hand held head. I would assume that would greatly reduce the water pressure when they're both running?
Jeff love your videos! I have an electric tankless hot water heater. Would a panel like the one in this video work well with a tankless water heater?
Awesome video. My shower panel came with two washers and two elbows with male threads. It also has two extra black washers. Do I have to use these? Or just do it the way in your video? I see there's some kind of washer built in the hot and cold water line connections already. So I am not sure if I still have to use these black washers ontop. Thanks
Thank you so much for your video i have one of these types by Roca but the jets are all blocked with scale. I live in a hard water area. Nowhere tells me how to descale these. Can you help me?
Love pex pipe!! Best invention since slice bread
I bought 2 of these for a couple of bathroom remodels, one of which is in my master bathroom. In my bathroom, I currently have a shower head and then below this are 4 small shower jets, two on each side, with the shower/jets control handle in the middle of the jets. How easy/difficult will replacing this be with the new showers system? And as a newbie DIYer, can I do this myself, or will I require a plumber?
In almost all your videos, which are great by the way, you mention that there will be a link in the description bellow the video, but there never are. Am I missing something?
Bought a house and it has one of these, but I have no idea the brand or model and now I need to change the cartridge, fun times.
Jeff i had questions about the temperature display is that on battery??
Good of you Jeff. I'm Kenny nice to meet you here
Thank you
Happy to help! cheers!
Great video...lots of tips, but straight to the point. Thanks, you saved me a lot of time!
I saw 'easy' and had to click, it's 1AM I was only to watch a few minutes, and here I am right to the end! Great system
I'm replacing the copper, after the second frozen pipe incident in the basement!
SJ R What is causing the freezing incident?
pex should solve that, however you might want to investigate why you get such a cold basement. Cheers!
@@ronh9384 Living in the North, seriously, north side of house, and ill-fitted door, door has been fixed.
It turned out very nice Jeff. Do you have any videos where you use epoxy grout? My niece has four boys and their aim is of course horrible and she asked for something more durable and fluid resistant than regular grout and epoxy grout is the only thing I can think of but I’ve never used it. Any suggestions or do you have a video on it? I ask because I trust your videos and you always explain things very well.
Thanks.
Ron
Hi Ron, we did a video where we removed old grout and installed epoxy on the floor. use the search tool on the home screen and type epoxy. Cheers. Let me know what you think when you get there.!
If I’m installing a shower tower do I need to keep the shower valve from my old shower in? Or can I just add shut off valves and pex?
The only plumbing I've ever done was replace a busted outdoor faucet that that cracked because it wasn't drained for the winter. That simple task had me at home depot about 5 times lol, but I did it.
Cheers , that can be more difficult than meets the eye. this however is very straight forward. Cheers!
So when adding something like this, is it necessary to add a pressure regulator to supply all the outlets with enough pressure?
Looking to put new install on other side of bathroom wall, then later knock out some of it. If I put some kind of shower/enclosure directly on my old lathed plaster, could I then drill Plex sized holes in wall to put PLEX directly down to basement a few feet away, and do the hookup there? I would connect the PLEX that goes down through the wall with 1/2 inch fittings INSIDE the Tower Unit, so NO leak could happen in wall, and would not need to bust up the plaster much... (OLD HOUSE)
Hello. Late here. I was looking to install a Shower Panel
System. I currently have the Delta rough in valve R10000-UNBXHF. Is it as easy as removing the rough in valve and hooking up the hoses? Thanks.
What other shower tower or brand of shower towers do you recommend? Preferably one from Lowes or Home Depot, as I'm too worried about shipping damage and like the fact if there is any issue I can just drive 2 miles and return to store directly. This unit (actually the whole brand, Ello&Allo) isn't sold on Wayfair anymore ...can only find on Ebay from random sellers.
Don’t need to tape the threads for hot/cold to the metal fittings on the shower?
Put some silicone in the screw holes just before you install the brackets, helps waterproof the holes, just in case. Its what I do with shower door screws.
Yeah, waterproof those screw holes filled with screws but lets not worry about the 6 x 6 inch hole. lol
hi Jeff,
I'm from Northern Virginia.
i was watching the video this morning. Please where did you get the tower (shower)?
by the way all your videos 5 stars very informative.
Thank you very much.
Do you have any information for removing the flow restrictor on akdy 8 head shower panel? It's unusable the pressure is so low
That whole shower looks great. Great tip on replacing the metal bits for sale.
Cheers Scorpio, I love this thing!
I really like your post. What is the name of company where I can get the diverter valve and tower
I am about to replace a older shower tower.. the wall/sheet rock/tile is already in place, and I have a larger hole to cover and will not be able to screw into a stud. Will it be ok to install to the tile/sheet rock? Thanks
Any problems with water hammer? Since the pex is loose in the wall.
Can you add a tower to a tub surround that is installed directly to studs? I have access to frame behind where the shower will be installed.
Hi can you give us advice. Ours one doesn't heat up that good. We set our tank water heater to 125 Farenheit but the water still lukewarm temperature. We bought twice of this thinking a umit problem. But both doesn't provide hot water.
Nice Job. #Saludos from Qnz, NY
Thanks, Cheers to new Zealand!
I have a shower head, a single control handle, a spray nozzle on the side. How would you plumb that type of setup?
Thank-you for your time.👍🏽
Works great/Easy install
If you put in a tower, then later want a more standard shower, should you somehow prepare for that option in advance? Would you need to come in from the back through the adjacent wall?
Came here for the same reason. I'm wondering if I should just go ahead and plumb everything just in case I want to get rid of the tower.
Are all shower panel mounting points in the same location. Can I swap an old shower panel system with another without relocation the mounting points on the wall
Do you think there would be any issue splitting my single 1/2" feeder lines (H/C) into 2 of these towers? I know there are a lot of factors to calculate flow and loss but "in general" if there was sufficient supply to a single tower is it within reason to expect decent performance with 2? Thanks in advance!
You won't get the flow from both running at the same time with a 1/2" feed.
Jeff, what's the best way of removing old grout so I can put new grout in?
sledgehammer and chisel
