I am considering this product for a disabled person. Is it possible to turn off the water flow from the shower head when using it as a handheld unit?

It is not possible to turn the water off from the handheld head.I am using it in a shower unit and do not use a diverter as one would in a tub set up. Only control in the actual handheld is the kind of spray.

No. You cannot. Actually I think the flow is too strong for a disabled person.

Unfortunately no, the settings on the shower head only adjust the spray pattern.

We have a couple of bathrooms and the one we use for the moen has a detachable shower head that allows us to control water dierection. I must mention although this was a very good solution, it was short term as we had our Master bath redone with a larger stand up shower and a walk in tub. If you can afford is the BEST way to make a permenate change. For economy though the Moen was terrific.mHope this helps.Paul FredinEdmond, OKeurorep@coxnet

none.The shifter handle that mounts on the wall, does it all. off/on hot/cold.You may want to remove screens and fittings from inside the showerhead, if you have hard water.

Yes you can - there's a dial on the side that allows you to turn on either shower head or both at the same time. All 3 settings are really nice, depending on what you want that particular day!

The shower head I purchased does have an on/off valve so that either the shower head or the hand held can be used as desired.

Yes the hand held shower head can be angled up/down as well as left to right. You can also restrict the flow.

Troy, I installed my valve on the hand held shower on a tub application, once I engage the diverter on the tub faucet then I can control the volume on the hand held shower. Not much help in your case. A happy Fourth and Try some Fresh corn on the cob, food for thought!

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 is a lever on the side of the base of the unit, so the shower operates on "head only" "handle Only" or "Both." So if you have it on the Head Only setting, the hand held sprayer will be 'off' regardless of if the water is on or not. However, there is no "Neither" setting so water will come out of one or both of the heads (depending on the lever position) if you have the water on. Hope that helps!

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.

There is a switch to vary the spray but it doesn't shut it off. You need two hands to move the slide. We are still satisfied with our shower head.

No, you have to use the faucet to turn the water on or off. Nothing on the shower head itself will turn it on or off, just changes the spray pattern.As long as the faucet is close, it should not be a problem. You don't want to leave a kid or a senior with functional problems alone with the spray head.

no there is not, a design flaw, but for the money paid, not an issue. We used a large bucket and I just placed the head in the bucket while I soaped up. I am used to the on off turn off like one in our RV. This work around was sufficient for my needs considering I could not shower in my home...we were truly blessed to find this!!

I'm not sure that you can. But, since the handheld unit serves no purpose if the parent unit is off - you just need to turn it off anytime the parent unit is off.

Yes. However, the lever for changing the spray is only at the top of the main shower head on the wall. If you are sitting (perhaps on a bath stool/chair) and using the hand-held sprayer, you can not change the water setting from a sitting position. This is an issue for a handicapped person using the unit.

No, it's on the battery. Made me nervous at first so I just pull the hose out of the water to push the on/off button. But I have reached in the water to do it with no problem. I've had no problem with it at all, but it would be nicer to have the switch on the shower head.

You can turn off the fixed shower head by diverting the water to the handheld, and you can pause the handheld.
