Great forum. I am redoing my shower stall. It currently has seperate hot and cold controls and a showerhead from the early 1960's. If someone flushes the toilet or runs water elsewhere in the house while the shower is on, the temperature stays fairly constant but the pressure goes down.
I want to put in a handshower on a slide bar (probably Grohe Relexa Rustic 5). I am not sure what I need for valves. I have read that a Thermostatic valve help not only keep temp constant if someone else runs water, but helps keep pressure steady too. All of the Grohe Thermostatic controls say seperate volumne controls are required - expcept for the Grohmix integrated model. It seems odd to me (clearly I don't know what much about this) that you would use a Thermostatic control and then seperate hot and cold volumne controls. The shower is only 36" x36" so it seams like two roughly 8" trim units are a bit much.
What should I use in there?
