Good solution for inline with my hot water line to a bathroom opposite side from heater? Would this decrease overall water flow for multiple showers?

The water flow will remain the same, the temperature rise will decrease with increased flow. This unit is good for 2 gpm which should be good enough for two showers. I have mine hooked up for one shower and one kitchen connection.

No way would mine furnish two showers. I'd not buy this brand again; the cold spell it gives during every shower gets old fast. Dunno why it does that, but adjusting didn't help.

Cold spells, yes, I've experienced it as well. I guess it doesn't want to overload or burn itself out in some way. We had to keep the flow low to get hot water. I don't think it can handle two showers. the inlet is small, and when you look inside, the valve inside makes it smaller. I got two years out of mine before it died.

I run two inline for my shower in Seattle and it works great. I don't believe one would do the job though, unless you lived somewhere very warm. One is more for providing heated tap water. Washing hands, brushing teeth etc, but not shower volume.

Yes, you can use both at the same time or either one. 3-way Water Diverter with Patented Anti-swivel Nut allows you to switch between using both showers at the time and using only one at the time.

Yes you can. I am running two shower heads at the same time off of one 1/2 inch line.

Probably like many homes with older pipes, there is more dissolved metals (hard water) in hot water, and therefore you likely have less overall flow in your hot water pipes. I have the same condition. The solution is to replace your pipes. Nothing to do with the shower head.

I use a faucet to shower converter.. see if you can find one thats long enough for your needs

I have mine on the opposite side from the faucets. It's really just a personal choice. I like to have the water running down my back rather than mostly in my face when I get the soap or shampoo.

I'm not sure this would work any better than any other one. There is a screw which deflects the stream. I think you're going to have the same problem with any kind I'm aware of.

sort of. if you turn the knob partway it dampens the flow. the range of control is limited but it works in a pinch. it's not meant to be used that way and i find it easier to shut it off when i don't need full flow and then flip it back on. btw...very happy with this shower fixture...you will need a squeegee to keep it looking good.

Not really. The only way that I have found to play with the width it to lower the water pressure. You can adjust how far it travels from side to side however. Hope this helps!

need more information, Are you wanting to supply two sinks and two showers? These type of water heaters require the use of low flow aerators for the faucet and shower heads or the water will not get very warm. The water heater should also be installed a close to sink or shower (point of use) to get hot water quicker. If you are wanting to service two showers then I would say that this unit is not large enough.

It gives off plenty of hot water, not sure how easy it would be to adapt the shower connection, but as long as you have access to hardware store I am positive it could be done

You could mount a mixing valve in another location and supply whatever temperature water you wanted to the hot side. Best bet is to not buy this at all. I was not very impressed with mine and ended up going to an alternative route.

If you already have a shower pipe sticking out from the wall you should not need anything else. I would say try it with and without the flow restrictor in place to see what works best before permanently mounting. You would use the existing hot/cold valve(s) to control temperature. This unit just allows you to chose between the fixed or hand-held shower head or a combination of both.

I used it for the side. How you use it depends on the configuration of your door and shower. Be sure to measure the thickness of the door, and the gap you're trying to seal, to make sure you order the correct product.

Yes. Although you can also use the diverted to throttle back the water flow from the main shower head.

One of these has supplied my entire house for a couple years now. Works fine. Will say two caveats - one: we rarely use two showers at the same time. two: unit needs to be central to the points of usage as the heater begins to heat the water as soon as it starts to flow. If the point of use is far from the unit there will be a delay in obtaining hot water. The longer the distance the more the delay. This can be a concern as water waste is an issue. The best part is once you get hot water is just keeps coming...and coming
