does this diverter reduce the water pressue on both the shower head &amp; hand held unit ?

When in the position that allows both the hand held and shower head to spray water...YES If position on only shower head or only hand held, I don't notice any pressure loss

Water pressure is about the same on either. Please reconsider buying the fixed shower head instead as there is a design flaw in the wand unit(Check out the numerous "1" reviews" re: the cheap plastic holder. It falls off continuously and will not stay upright due to the weight. Culligan will not return any e-mails. so my advice is to stay away from the wand and go with the shower head unit only

Yes, the regular shower head mounts on the male-threaded pipe opposite the female (input) side, and the mount that came with the hand-held unit goes on the male-threaded pipe perpendicular to them. The valve handle then points down.

Turning on ShowerBreeze has minimal impact on shower head water pressure. Yes, shower and irrigate at same time.

I have shower head, handheld shower, and bath spout setup. I bought a separate diverter, so I never bothered to know whether he product had a diverter or not.

I'm not sure if this will have much effect if you have one of the 2.5gpm restricted shower heads, but if you have an older unrestricted one it definitely reduces flow. I measured a significant reduction (2.9 gpm vs 3.9 gpm) after installing this. I wound up removing it and sending it back. I'd rather do without the hand shower than reduce the flow at the main shower head that much.

Yes. It decreases water pressure to both, but they will work at the same time.

the water doesn't come to a complete stop but it does reduce the flow of water significantly to both the head and handheld.

Only one shower head runs at a time. The diverter allows you to select which shower head you want to use, either the stationery or the hand held one.

the diverter valve swings from on on the handheld whiler shower head is off. As you goe from handheld to rain shower they will both be on at reduced pressure until you reach the rain head position then the hand held is off.

Leaving the diverter in the on position gives full use of the showerhead and hand held. You can use the hand held without changing the control, but the pressure will be just the regular stream. You need to turn the diverter off on the main head to get the full force from the hand held.

Great shower head, but no shut-off built into the head. I have 3 of them and all installed on Delta 3-way diverters which allow me to switch between low-flow, hand-held, or both. The shut-off in the hand-held can be used to 'pause' the water during a shower.

Yes. It operates on a simple principle, pressure from the desired direction passes through while pressure from the opposite direction is blocked and will often activate a release causing "backflow" water to be drained off. Note: If, for example, a hose is attached that has a nozzle at the opposite end, that is closed, then the hose will pressurize and retain its pressure. If the faucet (with the back flow device installed) is turned off, the pressure will remain in the hose until the nozzle is slightly opened (or a connection is loosened) then the internal valve will release the hose pressure through the relief 'vents' in the back flow preventer. This device meets building requirements in many localities where a back flow preventer is required on outdoor water faucets. I use mine with an RV, so that water from the RV side does not enter the city water source side of the valve.

I had a regular shower head to which I added a hand shower years ago. The hand shower came with a switch for regular shower or hand held depending on the lever. A piece of white nylon thin rope was tied to the flexible hand shower hose and the shower curtain rod to relieve stress. The filter was added between the original pipe coming out of the wall and the lever that diverts the water to either the regular shower or hand held. IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO THE WATER!

There are three settings: wall shower head only, hand held only, or both. The control is located just behind the wall shower head. There is no water shut off control on the hand held shower head. Hope that helps.

there may be a misunderstanding here, the unit comes with the diverter. That means water is diverted from the shower head to the unit. Water is only coming out of the shower breeze, not the shower head.

Yes certainly it will reduce water pressure on it just to correctly that is the least of your worries with this model I have had nothing but problems with it slipping off of the holder and when it does stay on the holder it tends to point sraight down due to the weight of the shower head entirely in your shower wall which resulted in mine breaking The design quality is very poor I would strongly recommend not buying this product due to poor design
