Is it worth it and necessary to spend the extra money for this one to get the DiverterPro system? Does the other one clog often?

In my case, it was definitely worth it. I have 3 very large maple trees in my back yard, and the diverter effectively filters out all the seed "helicopters" that would have surely clogged up the intake tubes. In the spring I need to empty out those strainers every day. If you have leaf guards on your gutters and no trees that shed floating seeds or tiny leaves, then you might not need them.

I must say that in two season with the diverter pro, we've had no problems. Over this winter I notice the filter piece in the diverter broke. Probably from a piece of ice falling in the downspout. Sent a text to Fiskars and they sent 2 replacements free of charge. We're very satisfied with the entire system.

We have not had any issues with clogs, and this works well with little effort to fill the barrel and then divert it back to the downspout when the barrel is full.

I did get the diverter pro. It works very well. Is it worth $30? Eh, probably not. But it's easy to clean and easy to "winterize." Hope that helps.

From my perspective, it doesn't restrict the flow at all. In fact, I am VERY glad that I opted for this diverter rather than the "3-way" that was suggested by the plumbing supply house.

FYI, a nearly identical model is on sale today for $19.99 with FREE s/h and no tax. It has the same settings. The only major difference is that it now only comes with a 2 way diverter (you can only use the wall shower OR the handheld, not both). They used to have a 3-way diverter but switched to 2-way to meet water conservation laws (using both heads requires more water). Here's a secret: if you call the company, they'll send you the old 3-way diverter for free.The Sale ends today at midnight.http://1sale.com/home-family/bed-bath-personal-care/5848/?ET_CID=1857

I would recommend you get a filter cooler, and stay away from the RO models. it will be much easier with no ned for a drain line ect...

You need the Delta R11000 3/6 Setting Diverter Rough and the appropriate trim to match your set up

I removed the flow restrictor before I installed it. I think it was inside the part that attaches to the water pipe coming out of the wall. Been a while.... Handheld is not improved by this but main head is pretty nice. Love my deluge!

I donʻt bother changing just the filter. Since the filters alone usually cost about $60 and a brand new complete unit is usually about $84, I just buy a new complete unit so I can have a clean diverter and hoses. I would suggest replacing it when you notice a change in taste but it should last you at least 6 months or longer depending how hard your water is

The diverter turns 360, so maybe you can. My plumber had a heck of a time with this system, especially with the part of the flex shower head that attaches to the wall. He said the system wasn't standard--which, as far as my knowledge of plumbing goes, doesn't cover much. The same part was missing something on the inside, and trying to deal with that long-distance was more than I could stand at the time, so it's a bit jerry-rigged.

Im not sure what you mean by a diverter problem. Do you mean the air diverter?

I purchased the deep soak drain option which basically covers the overflow outlet with a higher overflow. It does give you a little higher water level and I recommend it. The installation by our plumber was easy.

I'm not sure abou a "diverter". It's like a regular faucet. You can have hot, warm or cold. It's very pretty.

There are three different settings allowing you to use each head independently or both of them together. You can use the diverter to change this setting

1) The diverter gives you 3 choices: a) Wall shower only, b) Handheld shower only, or c) Both Wall and Handheld shower2) That depends on how high your shower pipe is. The hose is only 5' long so you may not be able to go too low. You can buy a longer hose.3) No, but you can easily buy an on/off valve to put between the handheld showerhead and the hose. That will become your Pause button. You can probably find them for a few dollars but here is one for $11.99 on Amazon: Showerhead Flow Control Valve Please note that this valve has a restrictor which reduces water flow. If you don't want to further restrict your water flow, find a valve that as no restrictor. 1) The diverter gives you 3 choices: a) Wall shower only, b) Handheld shower only, or c) Both Wall and Handheld shower2) That depends on how high your shower pipe is.

Unfortunately I dont know what a diverter is as I had it professionally installed. Prrssure from the rain fall portion is satisfying, its obviouslynot the same as the massage shower sets but much more gentle. The shower head however has much more powerful stream. The rainfall part is steady and cannot b regulated except for the angle but the shower head has a mechanism that you can easily loosen for vertical adjustments. I personally love this shower.

No I have not observed any leaf debris clog issues with the OATEY diverter. It works as advertised.

It's difficult for me compare. In our previous house water pressure was quite low and water flow from the filter faucet was slow. Now, I've decided to buy system with a booster pump to be on a safe side. I have no regrets. Even though water pressure looks higher.
