Does the hand held portion have its own water shutoff? It looks like there is a push button on the hand held -- what is that for?

There are two controls. One is the selector to switch between water coming out of the head, the handle, or both. On the handle there is another control that switches between jets, which includes: outside, inside, both, and none. So you could set the water to handle only, and then select "no jets", and it will effectively shut the water off. It doesn't do a perfect job, and some water will trickle out. I do this when washing the dog, though, and it's good enough.

The push button on the handheld changes the spray levels on the interior shower head. It is not a shut off button.

The button is to change the different spray patterns. One of the selections, it cuts the water pressure to about a quater of it's full pressure but doesn't stop the water completely.

No, the handheld portion does not shutoff completely. The button you refer to enables three different spray patterns.

There is a thumb valve that controls flow to the hand held and outer rings. If you have flow to the hand held, there is also the push button that has a shut off setting. Hope this helps

It does have an "off" and several other settings for the handheld. Not sure about the "trickle", but I'm pretty sure that it does.

No it does not. It actually has a safety the you have to disengage to get the trigger pressed and then you have to hold the trigger yourself. It takes a little getting used to and can be a bit of a pain but what I love about this unit is the fact that it heats up very quickly, has a big reservoir, and you don't have to wait for it to cool down to add more water. I'm sure the reason for the trigger is for safety so I deal with it.

As Rae said I also am not sure what you mean. However you pull and hold the trigger as you push forward (about as far as you can reach) then you release the trigger to stop the liquid flow and slowly pull back on the same track. There is a float in the dirty water tank which will stop the suction. When it does this you shut it off till it drops. The tank is probably full but it could do this if youjerk the machine even when it still has more room.

Absolutely, there is no need to hold any button and the spray continues. Tap the unit and the water stops.

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...

No because this model has a pressure switch so it turns off once the tap or valve is closed. I run mine for a washing machine and it runs fine and turns off when needed.

There is a convient sliding water control valve on the shower head itslef. Water flow can be easily controlled with one hand. On mine it will turn pretty much off when closed all the way.

I have to manually empty the water sliding the fingers thru the opening otherwise it stays on. I guess that is why it is still working since we don't allo hard water to stay.

There is a knob that u set whether u want it to run continuously or have it shut off! I only keep it on continuous because if ur basement holds a lot of water, you'll need to run it continuously until it drys out! Hope this helps alittle!! This work great!! Fills up fast!! Does a great job!!

No.... We never use this as a hand held ... It is always in place. This is the best shower head I have ever owned. Honestly!!

Yes you can switch to the hand held or have both going at same time.. no need to turn water off

Yes you can push up on the lever to lock on for continuous flow and it will shut off when you push it back down.Or you can hold it down for a small amount of water flow, and it will spring back to shut off when released.

Jennifer: I installed this for my Aunt in SC. I think your question is about shutting off the flow at the hand held spray head. The answer to that is Yes. The black buttons on the side shut the flow off. That is sort of a pause button, so you don't have to turn the water off at the wall. This was a good product. It does not come with a hose, but the hoses are sold in the usual big box stores or hardware stores and you can choose the length there. I hope this helps you. DAVE

Hi, It is just a small button behind the water head. You just push it to one side or the other to control the amount of water. I really like this water head. It is easy to install also.

No...it is a mecahnical timer...and you dial the amount of time you want it to flow...and it shuts off by the timer...it is not electronic, but rather mechanical. Similar to what HD, Lowes and Walmart carry for a cheaper price, but this one is smooth and does not have a water hammer effect when shutting of...but should be stored for freezing weather...
