DO you need a diverter valve?

No you don't need a valve just don't let the pump run when the day cools off or cold water will be pumped in...

Yes!! If you don't have a way to reduce the pump pressure the panel will burst and leak. Not a high quality product.

We live in an area with very hard water, the valve still works fine. It's the small holes in the shower head that tend to clog up but I put vinegar in a Baggie and soak the shower head and all is fine. No problems with this diverter, very well made.

Yes, you use the same control for the temperature of both the main faucet and the handle. I'm not sure what a diverter is. We're real happy with the unit though.

Not check valve included, i did not install one. Not need as one side is pressure the other side discharge.

To answer your question, I don't know because I needed to replace everything; valve, valve trim, and diverter and used Grohe thru out. Very happy with all of it. I would urge you to get in touch with Grohe North America ( go to site and look for contact information) and pose the question to the company because "standard" valve could be a relative term.. BTW, all connections and tubing are standard 1/2" so it would work from that point of view.

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...

I don't know if you really have to, but I disconnect the diverter and leave just the barrel outside. I do empty the barrel of any water since I don't want anything to freeze and break--barrel or diverter. Good luck.

We never used it but yes there is a valve thst needs to purchased sepretly. Also we had purchase online. Local HomeDepot or Lowes do not carry it

yes. iBox doesnt come with the valves. but the trim does. Dont need anything else other than trim and iBox. Unless you're looking for a three way shower, then you'd need another diverter.

Very simple...you attach the diverter valve to your faucet end. (doesn't work with a pull-out spray faucet). It either screws on directly or you may need to use an extra adaptor (which is provided) with the correct threads & then screw on the divertor. I'm an older female with no plumbing experience & this was a piece of cake!

As I recall, the diverter valve has a female threading and may connect to your faucet without an adapter. I do not understand your question about your water filter threading. The diverter valve connects to the water filter by a plastic hose that connects to the valve at the compression connection that you can see in the photo of the valve.

Honestly I've never had that as an issue if the diverter has been installed properly. I would check to see if it has been installed properly.

I'm not clear by what you are referring to in regards to the ibox and this valve,But this valve does not work if you want it to have both streams on. The diverter valve is just that, diverts water from one position to another therefore one is on while the other is off. You need a different set up for both to comeOn and that usually requires a separate control valve and diverter

No. All you need is a pressure control valve or faucet valve that is designed to withstand the pressure if the water goes directly to it.

No, any shower valve would work. I also used a Delta shower valve. Now, if you are referring to using a diverter valve to be able to use it as a shower and a tub, then u need an extra valve. But if that is not the case, then it is a simple shower head with the only difference that it is installed commonly in the ceiling.

Good AM, By a "diverter" I assume you mean a water psi limiter. It is unnecessary w/this unit, since the settings can go from a full-output spray to v. fine, hi-psi mist.

there are two discharge options from the diverter, don't see why you couldn't use both
