What a great site. I am currently remodeling my bathroom (formerly pinnk tile, black bullnose).
Doing pretty well thus far. I can handle general plumbing techniques (sweating, cutting, waste, etc.), and have remodeled about ten bathrooms over the years.
For this one, I plan to install a dual shower head system in a stand up three wall alcove. Fairly standard layout.
I read, in another thread, good advice from clayton that almost answers my question. He recommended the Moentrol pressure control valve with two ports - giving me the solution of using A, B, or A and B shower heads at the same time.
Perfect.
However, he warns that there might be pressure issues. How can I check to see if I have enough H2O pressure to satisy the needs for the two shower head system?
Keep in mind that since plumbing is not my "gig", I probably don''t have access to specialized tools, etc. Perhaps a suggestion: can it be rented, etc. would help.
Thanks in advance for any advice on this. I would hate to go all the way through the project, and find out after the fact that the boss' (my wife) dream shower won't work.
