is this diverter high pressure to shower ? and if not who knows of a model that has high pressure ?

Its provided plenty of pressure for us. It is a good quality product and suits our needs quite well. Get a 6ft shower hose from the home store and a shower head and you're all set. You'll need a shower head-hanger-upper-thingy too!

It is high pressure to shower - but unless you previously had a tub faucet with shower diverter - you will need to cut off and re-thread the pipe faucet screws into - because this tub faucet is not as long as a tub faucet without diverter.

The diverter turns 360, so maybe you can. My plumber had a heck of a time with this system, especially with the part of the flex shower head that attaches to the wall. He said the system wasn't standard--which, as far as my knowledge of plumbing goes, doesn't cover much. The same part was missing something on the inside, and trying to deal with that long-distance was more than I could stand at the time, so it's a bit jerry-rigged.

It's dependant on the line pressure in your house. Our line pressure is about 65 psi and the showerhead works very well.

Unfortunately I dont know what a diverter is as I had it professionally installed. Prrssure from the rain fall portion is satisfying, its obviouslynot the same as the massage shower sets but much more gentle. The shower head however has much more powerful stream. The rainfall part is steady and cannot b regulated except for the angle but the shower head has a mechanism that you can easily loosen for vertical adjustments. I personally love this shower.

I can answer your question with a resounding yes! I have owned several of these shower heads and they are great. Especially where your water pressure is less than ideal.

I started out determined to obtain full flow from either choice and never found a diverter valve that didn't choke the flow to much less than what should have been delivered. I ended up with a box of valves purchased on line and from local plumbing supply houses. What I have now is Armadillo ugly but very high flow because I plumbed in two full opening 1/2" valves on a brass tee to get a full flow blasting shower but the wife has to cover it up when guests stay over. It's a tradeoff between function and looks. Very disappointed that no supplier I could find offered a product that did both.

I don't know, but they do have a faucet that has a shower/tub diverter. Pfister 00131XA 3-Handle Tub & Shower Rough-In Valve

I can't answer the GPM but I can tell you the jets and shower can be ran at the same time. I want to stress to anyone buying this unit to make sure and understand the MAX pressure this unit can handle is 45 psi. That is incredibly low. If you have higher pressure the thermostatic valve will not work after about 5-10 minutes and the shower will get cold. No adjustment will change the temp. You have to shut off the valves and try again later. I was told to install ball valves to adjust the water pressure so it would work. At 45 psi using the jets and shower head together is worthless. The pressure is just too low. We built a new house and plumbed our custom tile shower for this unit and are now stuck with something that looks great but doesn't function as it should. I have had it on and off the wall replacing the valve, supply hoses, etc. I have spent hundreds to have my plumber come back to finish these things. I would look elsewhere if I were you. Maybe Hudson Reed? They have something similar that they say has a much higher PSI tolerance and can use the jets/shower head together. I'm actually leaning towards model UFG-ML711 as I think it will cover the same holes and plumbing as the Vigo

Don't know as it is hooked up right now. Works well and is solid and does not drip or leak. It is a ball valve design and it does limit water flow a little even if just one hose is hooked up do the smaller opening on ball valve-my wife notices a slight drop in water pressure in the shower and at the sink when I use it. Glad I bought it but if I could find one with a bigger opening on the valve valve that allowed a completely full water flow I would replace it. Had it for about a year I think.

There might be a pressure restricter in the shower head. If so, take it out to get more water pressure.

It's hard to say but I felt this shower head only improved my water pressure. Just make sure you get the extension bar that's "frequently purchased with" or you will be showering up against the wall.

pretty high pressure. I make sure not to let it hit the grout in my shower.

It doesn't produce pressure. Your home water supply does. However, the pressure supplied to it will determine its heating effectiveness. Too much pressure will reduce its ability to heat as a higher pressure increases water flow. At a sufficiently low pressure and flow it produces nice hot water. At the rated 1.6 gallon per minute most new showerheads are designed for its fine for one fixture at a time.

I used this:Hansgrohe 04231000 S Thermostatic Trim With Volume Control And Diverter, as I have wall bar AND also a shower head (angle arm with shower head from the wall). You will not need a diverter if you only want a wall bar, which is good enough. You will also need the hose and outlet along with Ibox, if this is a completely new install. Hope this helps. We are enjoying the wall bar set. To keep it looking new, wipe off water after every use. Hope this helps.

I couldn't say - I've had mine quite awhile in 2 bathroom showers and each is doing its job. I've noticed no difference in pressure.

I use a very low flow hand held shower head on the hose, so to answer your question I will have to first remove that to observe the actual pressure coming out of the hose, then remove the hose to compare the water pressure before the hose. I think I'll have time to do that tomorrow. I'll get back to you.

i think it ultimately depends on the water pressure coming into your house. but with that said, the water pressure on the shower tower is VERY strong. i would highly recommend it, but installation is challenging, hire a plumber.
