I have the master bath set up to have 2 shower heads, 1 stationary head which is the primary, and a hand shower which would be the secondary. I have 3/4 PEX supply running all the way to the valve, then a 3/4 PEX line up to a 3/4 x 1/2 x 1/2 tee. From there, 1 tee goes to the main head, 1 tee goes to a on/off volume valve for the hand shower.
This is a well system with a 40/60 switch. The valve is a Kohler Rite-Temp K-304.
The main shower head running by itself seams pretty good, not great pressure, but pretty good. When I open the volume valve for the secondary head, the volume of water from the primary head drops significantly, and the second head is about the same.
Is the valve not large enough to supply the 2 heads? It is the smaller of the 2 Rite Temp valves that Kohler makes, but it states it can supply up to 2 heads. It is "supplying" them, just not very good.
I noticed the thread the other guy posted with the Delta valve and 2 head setup, I wondered if he will have flow problems. I have attached the flow chart from Kohler:
