WIll this valve also shut off the water flow completely? No one mentions that.

Your water can only be shut off completely if your using a shower wand or a shower head that shuts off. Setting #1: Shower Wand only. Setting #2: Shower Head Only. Setting #3: Shower Head & Wand. My wand has a shut off, so I use it if I want to be able to control the water. I have owned three of these & all of them turned very smooth & easy with just your thumb & index finger. I guess the other reviewer got ahold of a bad one.

I bought one and it works great yes it shuts the water off to the other valve when diverted

it works well in any of the three positions. also, it is well constructed. it is an excellent replacement for the cheap plastic one i got when i bought my two head shower unit.

Well it seems you have your answer. I've been using mine for quite sometime now and have had zero problems with it. I agree with one of the reviewers. Mine turns like the day I first used it. Turns very easy and smooth.I have one that has a shut off on each individual diverter. If you want: I will get the information on it and send it to you.

No it is a two way valve, I am very satisfied with it the only problem is it is a bit difficult to turn. It is well made.

Yes, it will shut off automatically when it runs out of water, even with power connected.

There is no shut off valve. you can buy one separately.It screwson before the showerhead.

Yes, it can be turned off in any position. Also, I do not have any problem with the hose cutting the flow of the water. Maybe it is an installation issue. The spout has to be manually pushed back into place, but isn't difficult.

Yes.. It stays on depending on the amount of water you put in. Once the water is gone it shuts off.

No, it only shuts off the water when it reaches a certain temp. It's not an on/off switch. You'll need to get a shower head that does that.

That didn't work in my case. I went with a 2 way shut off valve (find them in the garden center of your local box hardware store)

These valves aren't designed to be energized for long periods. They generate quite a bit of heat when energized. The normally closed position will definitely shut off water in a no power situation but if you want the valve to be open at all times unless the power goes out, you should probably look for a different product as this will quickly burn out.

No but if you put inline valves you can turn the valves closer to being off to control the flow out of the faucet

No it does not. Additionally, after you shut off the water flow in automatically reverts back to stream.

No. The on off switch is on the part that is lowered into the water. best way to stop flow is just to lift it out of the water- it doe not appear to be damaged if it runs w/out water in it for a little bit. My guess is that was no on/off switch at the top to increase reliability and reduce the cost of the device.

If the flow is reversed. The cutoff valve will be useless. I would not recommend that you do that.

No shower head is legally allowed to let the water shut off entirely at it -- that's what the shower valve is for. This is per Universal Plumbing Code. IIRC, they were afraid people would shut off the shower at the head and walk away, leaving the shower head and water line pressurized. In theory, either the shower head wasn't rated for this and/or some unsuspecting person would try to cut into the pressurized pipes/unscrew the shower head with the water still going. While I'm sure it's happened, it definitely falls under the "not very likely" category for me. Same for all of the anti-siphon / backflow requirements, which I think are just another way for plumbers and related trades to make more money. At least for residential applications.

No, it is only a diverter valve. It goes to one port or the other port, there is no closed or off position. It is a very well made diverter, heavy construction and will last for many years.

No. It's an on/off valve. We have it hooked up to our water purifier for drinking water.

yes. otherwise you will have to run back to the faucet to turn off the hose.. with out a shut off valve it is like an open ended hose.
