Thank you so much! I am a 60 year old Grandmother that was able to follow your directions and get this installed in no time! I love the quality of your products!
Love your products, I'm really impressed with the quality. This will be my second shower head - we were so impressed with the first one my wife bought a second for our other bathroom. We also will be buying a third once we remodel the master bath at our other property. Thanks again!
Thank you for the positive feedback! We appreciate your suggestion and will definitely consider showing the shower head's range of movement in future presentations.
Just installed my Custom Dual Shower Head w/External Shower Diverter Valve. When switching to the handheld wand the diverter valve doesn't seem to close fully as I still get some spray from the shower head. Is this normal? If not, how do I get a replacement diverter valve?
Love my Hammerhead. Even the box and wrappings are awesome. I haven't installed the single handheld yet. The overhead rainshower is installed and the wall is still open. What kind of diverter do I need for this situation? PVC pipes.
We have pretty decent water pressure on our single shower head right now. When converting to two, is there anything I can do to maintain strong pressure on both heads when engaged? Thanks for the video!
The water pressure still depends more on your system than the showerhead itself but in terms of the pressure, both have 2.5 GPM so they should produce and maintain strong pressure when engaged.
Im having a major issue with leaking coming from where the diverted screws into the shower rod. I removed the old tape and applied new but nothing works. Any tips?
This would be our tips so we can avoid any leakage between the shower arm and the diverter: -Teflon tape: We recommend using only 2 or 3 turns of teflon tape. Using more than that would be counterproductive as the threads use the NPT Standard and using more teflon than the indicated, messes up the threads and allows water to leak. If the shower arm is fairly new, we would even suggest using no teflon tape at all. -The washer inside the holder: This washer sometimes loses its form and can be replaced with one of the spare washers that come in the package. Another trick would be to just flip the washer and tighten the holder super well. This should be able to make a good fit and please tighten the holder super well as the pressure over the washer is the thing that avoids the leakage. - The shower arm: if the shower arm is older than 7-10 years, it might have suffered damage due to changes in temperature and usage. We would definitely suggest using a new one.
When I switch mine on the pressure remains the same in the main shower head. And then comes out extremely weak in the handheld. Any tips on how to fix this?
The Rain shower head is 8 inches in diameter and as such, it takes more water for usage than the regular 4 inch shower head. This is the reason why we create the 3-Way diverter so that you can diverter to either of the heads or both at the same time.
Thanks for the feedback on this, J B. Metal on metal will definitely do some damage so we recommend wrapping a soft cloth around the fixture before using a channel lock or wrench.
That is a great question! Teflon is used for 2 things. To guide the threads though and to cover up for small gaps that could be between threads. Between the Shower arm and our diverter, I placed teflon because as the shower arm was already there, we could have a leak. After that, the quality of our products is so that it is possible to install without teflon and have no leaks.
A master plumber once told me, "you can never use too much sealant." The shower arm typically has the least fine threads and has more wear and tear, so it's the most important piece to apply sealant tape to. However, you can totally take the extra measure and wrap all the male threads.
No, this is a custom shower head. We have all of the links in the TH-cam notes. You can buy all the parts featured in the video from either The Shower Head Store or Amazon. Thanks for checking us out!
@@theshowerheadstore Has the product changed? Because the item on Amazon has a combination diverter/hose hanger instead of the 2 separate pieces you installed here.
@@Josef_R It's the same product. We also use it in combination with our All Metal 8-Inch Rain Shower Head in the Dual Shower Head Combo. You can find the Single Function Handheld here on amazon.com: www.amazon.com/dp/B077GHJFLP?ref=myi_title_dp

th-cam.com/video/I14WnxA6vMQ/w-d-xo.html I was able to add pressure with this simple technique ;)

This is great plus you don't talk alot which is great. Maybe add music next time
Thank you very much! I'll certainly consider the feedback for our next video.
Is it possible to have the rain head and the hose running at the same time?
Hi Katie!
thank you very much for reaching out. It is! You can divert the water to the rain showerhead or to the Hand Held or both!
@@theshowerheadstore thanks for answering my question.
Can you add the filter with this duo? If so,how?
When I switch mine on the pressure remains the same in the main shower head. And then comes out extremely weak in the handheld. Any tips on how to fix this?

A good piece of advice, never try to tighten these with a channel lock or wrench. I've already ruined 2 of these, 3rd times a charm
Thanks for the feedback on this, J B. Metal on metal will definitely do some damage so we recommend wrapping a soft cloth around the fixture before using a channel lock or wrench.
I'm curious why teflon tape was only applied at the first step, and not used where the handshower and main shower head are attached.
That is a great question! Teflon is used for 2 things. To guide the threads though and to cover up for small gaps that could be between threads. Between the Shower arm and our diverter, I placed teflon because as the shower arm was already there, we could have a leak. After that, the quality of our products is so that it is possible to install without teflon and have no leaks.
So it’s not necessary to put plumbers tape on the other threads? It’s only needed on the shower arm?
A master plumber once told me, "you can never use too much sealant." The shower arm typically has the least fine threads and has more wear and tear, so it's the most important piece to apply sealant tape to. However, you can totally take the extra measure and wrap all the male threads.
Thank you you saved our 47yr marriage. you ate great....
I'm glad to hear that. Cheers!
I like it,is this available in Home Depot,if not then tell me where I can order it,thanks.
