Does this pump work with single handle shower controls? There are reports of valve leakeage problems and loss of cold water with single handle shower controls on the Watts re-circulating pump.

Although I have the pump installed underneath the kitchen sink, it also assists in bring hot water to the bathroom closest to the kitchen, as I was having problems with getting hot water to both. The shower is a single handle shower and I have not had any problems with the pump nor the shower.

I have the pump installed on a single handle sink faucet and it works fine. I don't think there would be a difference, just make sure to hook the water lines correctly. The cold water line goes on the side with the 45 degree ramp. Hope this helps...

This pump is made to be placed under a sink and attached seperately to both the hot and cold water connections between the inlet valves and the seperate faucets.

If understanding your question whether or not you control water temp with this device, the answer is no. The temp control is still determined by your main shower controls.

No. The pump only circulates cold water out of the hot water pipes and into the cold water pipes. If your shower goes cold, your hot water tank ran out of hot water and circulating the water further isn't going to make it hot again. If you keep pressing the circulate button after all of the cold water has been circulated out of the hot water pipes (and there is still lots of hot water in the tank), the pump will run for about 30 seconds each time the button is pressed. And if you press the button enough times, your cold water pipes become full of hot water. You then have the opposite problem-- hot water comes out of your cold water outlets and you waste water running it to cool down.

no for the most part, for two reasons. 1 it doesn't have a built in check valve so you would need one. when the pump shuts off the water left in the hose will flow back down again.2 it has little to no pressure behind it so it cant lift water up more then 24" high before it stops pumping water. if you can set it up to work within those parameters I mentioned and supply 12 volts DC to power it, then yes it would work but it isn't a very big pump so you should look at something in the 2000-3500 gph range.

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.

No, I bought it w the Delta Multichoice shower only valve body. It's nice, I had to make a simple adjustment to get the water temp hot enough.

We purchased one a while ago because my wife wanted to be able to control the volume of the flow without affecting the water temperature. It works great for that. In the fully open position it doesn't seem to restrict the flow.Hope this helps. Good quality valve.

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.

Originally, I had a plumber installed a recirculating pump and hot water control valve. Unfortunately the valve was not installed in the farthest hot water faucet,so I bought this replacement Grundfos valve and installed it in the farthest HW faucet, I think? But it works.This valve should work as long as you have recirculating pump installed in your water heater.

Yes. But this is ONLY the Handle Assembly! You Must order the Partner Shower Valve.(R10000) Now with that said: As Pictured that is 'Off" Rotates CCW (Left) starts Cold Ends Hot. Mixing as you move handle. As an example I start my shower with handle at 11oclock position.But out of the Box it was set too cold, so I did increase the water temp adjustment about 2 clicks towards hotter.. I live in Colo. and have a well at 250 ft.Water is very cold out of the ground.

Yes, but there are four settings on the shower head. I just use the one with the least force and fill my outside tub. You will have to adjust the temperature and flow controls if you take the head off.

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 highly recommend this valve, it is absolutely incredible at pressure balancing. If either the hot or the cold fluctuates, even wildly, in pressure, the shower WILL NOT change temperature, you'll just see a change in the flow rate.

You can download the installation & owners manuals on Rain Bird's website to verify that it will work in your situation. What I can offer is that there is a single wire hook-up for a Master Valve or pump start relay.

ABSOLUTELY! It is actually designed to work with it. I couldn't afford buying the Watts pump here in Spain due to customs & VAT, so I installed a lower quality simple recirculation pump, normally used for irrigation...You will have a winner with that pump-valve/valves setup.Good luck and Merry Christmas.

No. The shower controls are set up to either use to use rain shower or hand held shower but not at the same time. It is an awesome shower system however

Yes it will. Although you only have one handle, you have independent hot and cold feeds. The faucet blends the two feeds inside it. The pump's valve is installed in the feeds BEFORE the faucet connection. Good luck to you.
