Most shower/bath mixers have 4 ports, hot and cold water inputs, and outputs to the bathtub and the shower. The output to the bathtub is twice the rate to the shower. So that if the output from the mixer to the shower is 2gal/min, the output to the bathtub is 6-7gals/min. This is the way most mixers are constructed. I plan to put a diverter after the mixer so that I can direct the water to a fixed shower head or to a hand held shower head. Because the diverter introduces its own pressure drop, I wanted to connect the diverter to the bathtub port rather than the shower port, so that the flow rate to the shower will be hefty and not impeded by the diverter. I can control the volume coming out of the mixer with the handle of the mixer. Has anybody out there tried this? I would appreciate any comments. Bob |
