My wife and I will be moving to an independent living townhome, which will be renovated before we move in, and we have the opportunity to have additional custom upgrades done (at our cost). I told them we wanted a thermostatic valve installed in the shower (so there would be two controls, one to set temperature which the valve would maintain, the other to control the volume). They have asked us to send them “specifications” for the valve we want. I’ve looked at some online, but we’re not sure what to get. I don’t think we need a digitally controlled one. We do want to be able to have the water either come out of the main shower head or divert to a hand-held. What features do people here consider essential in this type of valve, and we’d appreciate any specific recommendations. We are willing to spend up to a few hundred dollars. Thanks.
PS: One valve we’re looking at is the Grohe Grohetherm Dual Function 2-Handle Thermostatic Valve, model 24133000. You can see it at https://www.grohe.us/Thermostatic-V...Thermostatic-Valve-Trim/GROHE-CHROME-24133000 . Any thoughts on that particular one?
