How is this different/better than a regular hand shower?

The tubing is longer and there is a button on the spray head to control the flow of water (off or on) so the water isn't just running when you don't need it.

The long hose and ability to switch from manual to permanent on for water flow make bathing my dog very easy.

The water only flows when you push the button on the sprayer. Unlike your conventional removal shower that the is constantly flowing. The valve that comes with the sprayer attaches above your regular shower head is what makes it happen. Plus you can remove the Rinse Act hose and sprayer and store out of the way till you need.

two choices only: shower only and hand held only. Good quality diverter, highly recommend

I have an open shower and this shower head splashes less than the regular one. I think too it depends on how much you move around when showering

I see a picture of a hand held shower head when I google the Aquasana. I think you might have to buy their special piece. Pull up the picture and check it out. $10 more , you get the hand held shower head.

When in the position that allows both the hand held and shower head to spray water...YESIf position on only shower head or only hand held, I don't notice any pressure loss

Oh this one is MUCH better, I love having the option to use either OR both, the valve on the side lets you select the shower head, the handheld, or BOTH AT ONCE! And you can set each one to different sprays independently as well when using them together. I'm disabled & use a shower stool and I very much recommend this one for ease of use and quality!

It is an identical replacement for the original hand-spray. We made the mistake of following the directions and installing one of the provided pressure reducers, however, and now there is barely enough pressure to engage the shower spray. Try it with no reducer first, you can always add it later.

Not significantly noticeable and I'm sensitive to the water flow in my shower. I also agree with one of the comments K Hemard wrote; it's not as powerful as the countertop types. It's more convenient if you don't have counter space, but don't expect it to be spectacular.

It is used to hold the hand shower and allows it to be adjusted to different heighs along the bar.

I have no idea about the difference. I just know that the simple one suits me. It works well in the shower and travels with me well.

The hand-held is as tall as your shower head, I find that the shower head heights can vary. I'm 5'10" and the shower head is almost a little low for me (nothing unusual for me); but I don't think it would be an issue for you. The hand held has a short connection, so the spray lifts off easily. Hopes this helps.

There is a switch on the side of the shower head that will, when you turn it, only let the water through the hand held unit.....in fact I leave it on that setting all the time, it seems to offer a stronger water stream.

We have just remodeled both bathrooms and used the same shower faucet in both. The master bath has plenty of pressure but the guest bath not so much. The design of this faucet is not meant to give a high pressure blast. More like a 'rain shower' effect. It is plenty for us but if you are looking for something that is forceful, this is not the one. Hope this helps, good luck!

It's more cosmetic than anything. You can't see the open portion of the shower tower unlessinstalled you hadthe a stepgood ladder. Water doesn't get into that part of the tower so quick drying isn't necessary. The one advantage to the open design is that it would allow you to replaces hoses much more easily since there isn't a back cover.

I'm not sure. I've always had a hand held shower - but this is the best hose I have ever had and I've had many different hand held showers through the years! It is very flexible and looks nice too. Not stiff like the ones that come with the hand held showers.

nothing special.... a regular shower head will do. Also.............. bought it for my daughter and she LOVES it!

I haven't tried to shower with it, and most likely won't. When I wash my hands I do try to keep the water off of it. My friend who is a chef takes his off to wash his hands. Water resistant is not a confidence inspiring phrase.
