do you have to pull up on where the hose is connected to diverter to send water thru hose and shower head, or do you just turn the handles.

Just turn the handles. It's not like a bath/shower combo faucet where you would need to pull up the handle to divert water from the bath spigot to the shower hose. It only has one outlet for the water. Just turn it on.

pull the hose out BEFORE you turn the water on. Pull hose to desired length, turn water on, use; rewind, turn water off, empty hose by pressing nozzle. much easier that way.

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!

Yes! You just disconnect the hose leading to the barrel and then use the provided stopper to plug up the same nozzle leading from the diverter. (The principle on which it works is that, with nowhere to go, the water just builds up inside the diverter and drains as it would normally) You don't need to removed the diverter itself. I like this diverter. So far it's been maintenance free and works VERY effectively. My two rain barrels fill up very quickly and when full, the rain pours down the normal downspout. I would fully recommend this diverter. Make sure you follow the instructions and don't cut out too much of a gap when installing! Yes!

Jill, Yes, you do have to hook up a garden/wash machine type hose to the shower head that comes with the booster bath. Depending on the weather I run a hose out a window near my untility room sink so that I have both hot and cold water combined. During the winter months I just bring the tub into one of our bathrooms and hook up to the sink and run the drain hose directly into the tub drain. Works very well. I little caution about doing this inside as my dogs will have a tendancy to try and shake the water off and can cause for water sprayed onto the floor. Hope this helps you, cga

No it does not.. its a diverter. You have to manually direct where the water should go.

We purchased the entire shower wall bar. The hose connects the shower head to the outlet from our previous shower head. Then the handle that turned on the previous shower just worked as it did previously. HOpe this helps. We do love it for the way the shower streams out of the head. Like a soft rainfall.

No- you turn the top middle knob to select the shower head/ or set of shower heads you want to use. Top 2 side jets on each side work as a set; same with bottom 2 side jets. Rainfall shower as one; hand shower as another; tap as another.

It just has a female threaded coupling that attached directly to the end of the pipe where the shower head attached. I put a two way valve in between the shower head and the pipe (where it was originally connected) and have the hand held shower coming out the other with the capability to select one or the other by switching the valve handle.

you need a 1/2 inch iron pip threaded diverter valve that screws on to your shower arm. It will allow you to put the shower head back on and divert the water through the hand held shower as well.

If the outlet from the rain barrel to the overflow hose is somewhat higher than the inlet from the diverter, you can disconnect the overflow hose. The water level in the barrel will reach the inlet level and flow back into the diverter and down the downspout before the water reaches the level of the overflow outlet. Note that the height of the barrel inlet and the height of the diverter outlet must be the same for the backflow feature to work (see diagram #5 in the installation manual).

You need a diverter. This provides water to both and the lever on the tub faucet shuts that off and forces it to the shower head.

The short (black) supply hose that came with it connects from underneath to your water source. Then you attach your hose feeding it through the opening then tighten the hose. You can then turn the crank handle to "reel" in the hose. I have found that it winds in much easier if you turn the water off and drain the hose prior to spooling it.

Remove your present shower head from pipe projecting out of wall or shower material. The top end you can't see in this photo is a female connection which screws onto the 1/2" pipe your shower head is removed from. You screw your current shower head on the straight through male end of this diverter valve. The valve alternates the water flow to the shower head or diverts to the bottom male connect for a hand held shower head on a flex hose. Hope this helps.

You would need to have a two-way water diverter to connect to a hand held shower spray. One outlet of the diverter goes to the handheld and the other outlet goes to the extended arm with the help of a coupling.

this is a transfer valve only..needs to be removed and a pressure balanced valve installed in it's place. the piece the "plumber" put in should be installed at the out side of the pressure balanced valve to control 2 or 3 areas, i.e. shower head, body sprays, hand held sprayer or rain head. Fire your incompetent hack and get someone that knows what they are doing.

The diverter is on the left and there are two positions - back for rainhead, forward for tub spout. To use the hand held spray, turn on the tub spout, then pull up the knob on the spout. As you move the diverter backward or forward, you'll also need to push in a small button on the bottom of the diverter with your finger as you turn it to release it from its 'home' position. I find this a little awkward, but not enough to complain about, since this unit is so awesome otherwise. On the right is the temperature control. You can set this to a comfortable temp and leave it there. One more plus - the water coming out of the tub spout is aerated and it's angled away from the wall slightly. Therefore, the water flows out farther into the tub than a traditional spout and doesn't splash. This design allowed us to mount the whole unit about two inches higher on the wall without fear of water splashing all over the place. You'll also need to buy the Hansgrohe 16181181 Exposed Thermostatic Basic Set. Every part of this product works so well that I pat myself on the back for buying it everytime I use it.
