Hi. Wondering if it's a pain to switch water flow between the hand and shower head units? UPDATE: Thanks to all who answered. Based on your answers, we just bought it!

It's easy. There is a button on the left knob. You hold it down and turn the knob towards the wall for the shower head, or towards you for the hand shower. The knob on the right side controls the water temperature.

I installed mine several months ago. It is the ultimate in shower fixture engineering. To switch between hand held and shower head is a single smooth twist of the left handle. Once you get your preferred water temperature set you only have to use the left handle to turn off and on. Best thing I have invested in.

Its a simple turn of the left knob. We constantly switch as my fiance prefers the hand shower while I am in LOVE with the rain shower unit.

Very easy - as the other responses indicated. I am very happy with the unit - only 1 minor - not even complaint - only 2 settings on hand unit - would be nicer if it had more adjustments. Over all - very happy with it.

I love it. No pain to switch water flow between the hand and shower head units.

My wife has asked the same question about the hand held. I have not looked into it yet but looks possible. The regular shower head can be change to any other shower head. The reason I got this unit was so I could install a rain shower head in the ceiling of shower. Rain shower head is not used much. Note: inside the shower head control valve is a small spring and pin that can come out and you may not see it. I did not see it till I installed this unit in 2nd. job.

it is already set (by water pressure) to go to the low water usage. When you turn the water off you can here it click over to the lower water use. When you turn the water on, you have to move the lever to increase the water flow. When I showered with it I never increased the water pressure as it was fine for me with less flow. My wife likes more water so she increased the water usually. I ended up taking this off my shower because my wife wanted one you could hold in your hand. If you want mine (in perfect condition) I could sell it to you, I just removed it a month or so ago and it is like new. I could send pics if you include an e mail.

I am using it as my main shower head. I removed the pipe that connected the old shower head to the water delivery pipe. I think the force of the water is strong.

Is it full flow when opened? My answer is yes. By the way, I am still using this device on my master suite shower. You can try to call the manufacturer directly. Sometimes they will send you replacement cartridge for free!. If you cannot find parts for your shower and you do not want to replce it, this valve is the solution. I am 100% happy with it still.

Have you tried rotating the pressure knob around to check if that makes a difference? Water flow is different at different settings. Also, does water leak out of the shower head?

Lack of on/off on the showerhead is an issue if you are in a water-scarce place, like when camping in the desert. I should have paid closer attention to this point and have returned the device unused. I'll use a compressed-air water sprayer and sink sprayer-head.

Yes! There's a 3 way switch. You can use one, the other, or both heads. It's a pretty good shower head and very easy to install.

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.

My husband removed our old shower head and put this one on. I did not see him do it, but I do know we did not have to buy anything additional. Hope this helps! We really like it, by the way.

The spray mode is temporary. When it is pressed it comes on, when you remove your hand it immediately returns to normal water flow. I wish it would allow for the spray option to remain on until you want to change it, but it doesn't work that way. Sorry.

I echo the other response . Wife and I are both very happy with this shower head. No complaints at all.

Hello Jay, Thanks for your interest in the Atlantis 7. It comes with a three way diverter, which allows you to switch from one showerhead to the other. Hope this helps you out.

Can this unit connect to a shower or bathroom faucet? The aquarium we own is in my son's room. I'm tired of the 5 gallon buckets I have 3 going currently ...LOL I never realized I gold fish from a fair could have changed the world of fish as I knew it. I am greatful for any feed back. Thank you kindly, Hatti ����051;

Hi Noelle,What' so difficult? You should have a 1/2" domestic hot water and a 1/2" domestic cold water there and they connect to the control unit on either side with a 1/2" standard pipe thread female threaded copper fitting. This is your supply water. The top outlet on the control goes up to the wall mounted shower head and the bottom outlet of the control goes to the hand wand. We have a few of the light in the box products and I have found that the manufacturing is not all that consistent. I would take the threaded pieces along to a Home Depot and see if they can match it up with something they have. Seeing the answer below I believe the hand wand is a 3/8" threaded female copper fitting.Tristan Hi Noelle,What' so difficult?

I hardwired the wall switch to be "ON" all of the time. The only problem is that the humidity sensor sometimes starts the fan in response to changes in the room air even when the shower is not in use. Darn kids!

No, and personally I had to remove a flow regulator in the other part of my shower pipe because after a couple years of use, it gunked up and severely restricted flow. After removing that, the water pressure is pretty high, which is preferred by everyone in my house other than me, but before it was just a trickle.
