Hi folks,
I've been looking for a method to turn off the shower momentarily to save water (I have 5 kids) but all the ones that I've seen are valves that go at the shower head, which is useless to me because my kids can't reach it.
I've considered plumbing in a 3 way diverter instead of the two way that we've got now, and simply capping one of the outlets. That way the user can turn the diverter to the capped outlet to stop the shower, lather up, and then turn the diverter back to the shower head to rinse. No adjusting of water temperature or flow, just on/off. When they are done the shower, the diverter goes to the tub spout and the water gets turned off..
Does this seem a valid plan?
