Wake up with the invigorating spray or wash away the stress of the day. Showers have become the place to pamper and refresh. A shower can be as simple as a shower control and shower head, or a home spa complete with water fall, multiple shower heads, body spray and steam.

3 Steps to the Perfect Custom Shower

1. Choose the type of system
2. Choose the functions
3. Shop for style
Scroll down for a explanation of the different components available.


Step 1: Which Shower System?

Showers combine a number of  functions (water outlets) for different therapeutic experiences. Driving the functions are the controls (valves). Theses controls determine the number of functions possible both by the amount of water flow they provide as well as the number of outlets they provide. We will discuss the number of outlets first, water flow further below. Remember Tubz.com is here for any questions ~ 866-380-0303

 
2 Valve Shower Faucet
2 Valve Shower
1 Function

2 Valve shower can only run one function. One handle each to control the hot and cold water. This shower offers both pressure and temperature control. This system does not meet codes in most states where requirements indicate anti-scald.

 
California Faucets Encinitas 3 Handle Tub & Shower
3 Valve
2 Functions - Choose one or the other

3 valve shower system gives the choice between two functions. There is a handle for hot water, one for cold, and one to switch the water between the two functions. Mostly used for a Tub & Shower system, it can be installed to accommodate a hand shower and shower. This shower offers both pressure and temperature control. It does not meet codes in most states where requirements indicate anti-scald.

 
Pressure Balance Control - Belmont Series form California Faucets
Pressure Balance
1 Function

Pressure Balancing valves balance incoming hot and cold water pressure to compensate for fluctuations in water flow. If the cold water pressure decreases, the valve senses this and reduces the hot water pressure. (It will protect the user from drastic temperature changes should a toilet be flushed while showering.) A single handle is used to turn the valve on and to go from hot to cold. This shower system runs full pressure, water volume is not variable.
See Pressure Balance Controls

 
rnia Faucets Sunset Pressure Balance
Pressure Balance with Diverter
2 Functions - Choose one or the other

Pressure Balance control with a diverter has the same properties as the pressure balance valve listed above with the addition of a diverter (small knob below the large one). User can choose between two functions. Often used as a tub shower combination faucet, this system can also be used with a shower head and hand held shower.

More Information on Shower & Hand Shower Combination.

 
Thermostatic Shower
Multiple Functions - All can be on at the same time

Thermostatic valve allows users to select a favorite temperature and keep it there regardless of changes in the temperature of the hot or cold water supply. It has a sensor that reacts to changes in temperature caused by either pressure or inlet temperature changes.  It allows for a higher water flow for multiple outlets: showerheads, body sprays, hand showers etc, as well as the ability to have multiple functions on at the same time. Thermostatic valves are available in 1/2" and 3/4". The thermostatic valve sets the temperature, a stop valve is need to turn the water on and control the water volume. One stop valve is needed for each function. Stop valves are also available in 1/2" and 3/4".

Shower Columns, Panels and Shower System Sets
Multiple Functions - Seperate Volumn Controls or Diverter

These luxury showers come as kits. Some are fully exposed, some semi-recessed in to the wall, others have the valves in the wall. Most include multiple functions - shower head, body sprays and hand showers. For more information and sale prices use the link below.

• See all the Shower Sets


Step 2: Water Outlets - Shower Heads, Body Spray & Hand Showers

The number of outlets or functions possible depends on the maximum flow rate of the valve at the given water pressure. For example a California Faucet 3/4" thermostatic valve has a flow rate of 19.8 gpm at 60 psi. Three body sprays at 2.5 gpm, a large shower head at 7.0 gpm and a hand shower 2.5 gpm = 17 gpm. A valve of 19.8 would handle these 5 outlets.

Shower Heads

There are 2 -3 parts of a Shower Head. The actual shower head, the shower arm and shower flange if not an integral part of the shower arm. The shower arm dictates if it is a wall mount or ceiling mount shower.

Multi-Functional

These shower heads have multiple spray effects

Adjustable

Choose a wide soft spray or strong concentrated spray

Body Sprays

Body sprays are usually installed in groups and are designed to spray the entire body. They are usually positioned at shoulder level, waste/hip and thigh/knee. Different jets offer different features like pulsating, self-cleaning, adjustable volume or directionally adjustable. Nebulizers produce a fine mist. Shop for Body Sprays by Manufacturer:

Hand Held Showers

Also known as Personal Showers, hand showers can be mounted on a slide bar or bracket


Hand Shower on Slide Bar

The height is adjustable along the slide bar. Hand shower can also be removed from the slide bar.


Hand Shower on Hook

Water comes in to the hand shower hose via a wall elbow and the bracket hangs on the hook in the picture to the right. There is also a modes available that have the wall elbow and bracket are combined into one piece

Cifial Hexa Tub Spout

Tub Spout

We do not have a separate page for tub spouts but they can be added to create a custom Thermostatic Tub & Shower System.
Take a look at the spout that is pictured in the same series as the thermostatic valve for ideas.

 
Steam Shower

Steam Shower

The addition of steam shower doesn't change the controls need for the shower, the steam is controlled by its own set of controls. We are including it here since it is a great addition to any shower.

Shower & Hand Shower Combination


A Pressure Balance Tub & Shower can be changed into a Pressure Balance Shower and Hand Shower by removing the tub spout from the price and adding a hand shower kit. Let us know which pressure balance, which hand shower kit - we will be glad to give you a price. The following is California Faucets technical information for this application.
