I want to save water during my shower. Can I set the temp and then turn the water off and on without having to reach the showerhead itself?

Temperature dial is independent of turning water on and off. Preferred temperature is dependent on how fast your water heater can supply the hot water. This device has two water outlets. You could turn on your secondary device and wait for the temperature to be where you want it, then switch the water to the primary outlet (shower head).

Hi Gail. I have this system in 2 showers. You can set the temp with the bigger lower knob. The smaller upper knob decided to send it to the hand held or the rain shower (that's how we have it set up). I'm not sure what you mean by saving water. Can you explain?

There is no setting on the showerhead to allow you to do that that I am aware of.

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.

There is no on/off switch for the showerhead. The only way you can cut the flow is by turning the pump off. I also recommend taking the pump out of water when you are not using it.

I think you're talking about the water pressure on/off, you can adjust the water temperature with the small lever and the pressure (which also turns water on and off) with the large lever. I have this in my new bathroom shower and I love it!

Yes, it can...both at the neck of the showerhead and along the flexible hose. It is not something I have to do, (the water where I live starts out hot) but I just tried it, and it works. Great shower all around.

I don't have experience with doing that, but this machine does have a limit to how hot the water can be that you put in it. How hot are you looking to go? If the water is too hot for you to touch/ work with, it is too hot for this machine. I generally go by the rule of "if I would shower in this temperature, then we are okay, anything hotter is pushing it". Its made out of plastic, and the parts can melt if you go to, say, boiling.

I am in the midst of a remodel, and the showerhead has not yet been mounted. However, it looks to me like it has five spray settings, one of which is "trickle". . . i am assuming that means that this is the setting that would be closest to "off", but believe it does not have an "off"switch or setting on it. I am not sure this is helpful to you, but - well, it is all i can offer. sorry.

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.

Yes, you can turn it off for a short time. It will continue to drip so that your water temp stays constant. You must turn it off with the wall valve when you're done.

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.

You can adjust the water flow using the handle just like any other faucet but when using the touchless on/off feature the water flow cannot be controlled. You can only manually control the water temperature using the touchless feature but not the flow level.

One setting is for 'pause' and is explained in the instructions. The showerhead will only dribble out at this setting, and not shut off. Apparently this is required by plumbing codes that only the main faucet handle should totally shut off water flow.

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 is built as a reducing water flow unit. Yes you can use it by removing the head, turning up the heat and adjusting your water flow to keep the desired water temperature. It'll work. Remember the max flow you're going to get is the rated water output of the 10 liter unit

I would think not as the temp sensor in the unit only senses the water coming into it, as in it has brought hot water from the heater to that location, then when you turn on the shower that should keep the hot water coming to that location. The pump does not bring more hot water after it has reached temperature, the water use should keep the water hot. If you shut the water use off, such as shutting off the water in the shower, then you can, after a period of the water cooling off, restart the unit to bring hot water back down the line. I am not sure I was clear on answering your question, maybe someone else can be clearer.

No, you cannot adjust temperature and pressure independently. Besides the shower head and tub faucet, there is the round plate that covers the plumbing iBox hookup, and then two different handles for you to choose from.
