How do you handle hot water for rinsing dishes etc. ? Is there a built in diverter that enables you to keep the unit attached ?

It has a hose end connection. If it were connected to a faucet, simply disconnect it and then use your hot water. Do not run hot water through a RO system. Best practice would be to only connect this filter to a cold water outlet.

two choices only: shower only and hand held only. Good quality diverter, highly recommend

There is an adjustment to regulate the water to avoid scalding. The plumber told me he could remove it or adjust it. I had him remove ours since we do not keep our water heater too hot anyway. It works fine now.

Although we used it only for our shower, their brochure shows a connection to an already existing tub/shower diverter. Check out www.grohe.com/us.

Water pressure has to be pretty slow. I do nails and use to fill pesicure bowl. It takes a while i have to run the water really slow for hot and u need a double handled faucet the hot water is hard to manipulate with the one handled faucets that go side to side

It doesn't have a wall holder separate from the holder that is on the part that goes on the shower arm. You can buy a wall holder inexpensively that glues to the wall. No, it does not have a diverter, but I bought one for about $15 and hooked that up. I wrote an unfavorable review of this product, not sure if you saw it (from Andrew K.). I found the diverter on the handheld leaks and the shower head itself leaks and has only one setting.

It is possible valve could be faulty. Check the inlet and outlet connections to make sure they are connected to the right ports on diverter valve. Follow directions in guide for ensuring flow by turning off cold water stop and see if there is a small flow of warm water coming from cold water tap. Also make sure hot water stop at sink is in the "on" position.Ensure pump is connected to outlet side of water heater and pump is installed in correct flow position and powered.

This is made for shower and tub. This is the main valve for hot and cold water. To divert the water from the tub spout to shower you need the tub spout with diverted. Hope this helps

i dont think so, the diverter switch keeps water from coming out of the mounted head, and the switch on the hand held just closes the flow on the hand held itself...

This unit heats the water to several selectable temperatures, so no need to provide hot water to them. Matter of fact, I recall the owner's manual cautions one NOT to supply hot water - only cold water.

YesThat valve is used as a diverter to send mixed hot and cold water to your shower head and hand held independently. Your hot and cold water supply lines need to connect directly to a mixing valve first (like the delta R10000 UNBXHF) then to a diverter (only if you are operating a shower head AND a hand held)......keep in mind the mixing valve I mentioned is for a shower head only...the tub outlet is capped.. If you have a tub spout a different valve would be needed (delta R10000 UNBX)

yes, it performs very well as a on off as well as a diverter. turning the top handle left or right controls which outlet and volume. the bottom control is the temp. LOVE it!!!!

For hot water you will probably have to go through the wall, or get extension pipes (what is provided is limited) and feed it to the vanity in the base boards. The other option if you just want to hook up a cold water source is to get a bidget with a heater.Hope that helps.

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.

The diverter is on the left and there are two positions - back for rainhead, forward for tub spout. To use the hand held spray, turn on the tub spout, then pull up the knob on the spout. As you move the diverter backward or forward, you'll also need to push in a small button on the bottom of the diverter with your finger as you turn it to release it from its 'home' position. I find this a little awkward, but not enough to complain about, since this unit is so awesome otherwise. On the right is the temperature control. You can set this to a comfortable temp and leave it there. One more plus - the water coming out of the tub spout is aerated and it's angled away from the wall slightly. Therefore, the water flows out farther into the tub than a traditional spout and doesn't splash. This design allowed us to mount the whole unit about two inches higher on the wall without fear of water splashing all over the place. You'll also need to buy the Hansgrohe 16181181 Exposed Thermostatic Basic Set. Every part of this product works so well that I pat myself on the back for buying it everytime I use it.

You can use your thumb or hand . The water goes to right place. Make sure to turn off the supply valve below as it will leak if you forget to shut the supply as directed on the instruction. I use it for a month and it broke. I found a better product which is better and its called Biobidet. Check it out at amazon. Every one at home including guest are satisfied on its performance. I have hot and cold water and all control its on the right side. Love it.

The diverter just diverts the water to a secondary outlet (in my case a hand sprayer). There is one master volume that controls the temperature consistently for both.
