- Is this the "Niagara Falls" model shower? A 1" pipe is much larger than is normally used for pipes leading to a bathroom. A 2" pipe is larger than almost any house would have coming in from the stree

- it's got a total of six shower 'heads' with one box controlling all of them. pretty snazzy if you can feed the thing. I figure 2" is overkill, but if I can only do this once I'll do it. I'm sure once

- If the water supply to the house is so restricted, the high-flow shower probably can't work very well. It just won't get enough water. Fifty feet from the well to the house does not sound all that fa

- I agree. To me, low water pressure would be too big of a quality of life issue to ignore. I would be upset every morning in the shower until it was fixed. And because of that, I'd be willing to spend

- I know our rental was only 1/2" from the street. nonetheless, the fixture requires 1" in, so I thought I'd go overkill now so I don't have to later (I suspect the plans for the master bath include so
