I was really nervous about ordering this shower system, but I'm glad that I did! Since I installed the shower valve/lever on the same wall, I was also concerned if I would get hit with hot or cold water when I turn it on. There is a nice 1-2 second delay whenI turn on the water so I don't get soaked just yet. The water pressure is just right, the quality of material is great (contractor was also impressed with the quality), it cleans pretty easily, and it looks good with the other elements in the shower. I also love that the rainfall shower head tilts in multiple directions.
