Wayfair currently has this unit on sale and In my opinion it is worth the buy. only $199.00 get it while you can before it goes back on for regular price at over 500.00
Quick tip: Run a bead of silicone around the hole behind the shower in a triangle formation. Any water that may run down the back wall will run down and around the silicone! Cheers.
Installed this model in one side (MY side) of a large 5' x 6' his and hers shower that I built as a pandemic project, having ripped out a huge tub that we never used. Love it. I regularly inspect the hole that the hoses pass thru via an access panel. No water or mold. Only problem I have had is too much flow! Without the flow restrictor, the body sprays shoot all the way to the other wall! I found that the proper wall height mounting for me is about eye level with the temperature display. Anyway, so far, so good. At least a couple of years now.
I bought these same exact units from Amazon for about $280 a piece. One unit arrived a little smashed up at the top but I took pliers to bend it back... good enough and both units work great after installation! This video was invaluable for gaining the confidence to install them myself. I did have to hire a plumber to install new shut-off valves. Easy peasy!!
You paid way way to much. I've installed at least 20 of these and usually pay between $115 and $140 depending on the model. After installing a bunch I like Ello and Allo
@@aaugusta1842 Yeah, back when I bought them in early 2021 it seemed that the supply chain around the world was blocked up due to Covid and prices were definitely higher than today.
@@serhiiudod3604 It's been 2 years since I had these installed (2 bathrooms) and I love them. My family loves them. Everyone comments that it's like being at the spa. If I bought a new house I would install this same unit in the bathroom.
The silicone tip at the end was exactly what i needed to hear. My brain was really struggling with the big hole in the wall and the moisture build up. Thank you. your added info is so helpful.
Thank GOD & Jeff for this video... planning to install this unit in a couple months and this video is saving my bacon and sanity!! Scooped this unit up on Wayfair and can't wait to redo my shower.
Just curious, why not create a recess box that you can waterproofed with your hot and cold connections similar to a laundry supply box? wouldn't that solve the problem with a hole in your back wall?
When I had one of those installed, they just installed 2 threaded fittings out of the wall at the top of the panel. Don't have to worrie about water getting in the wall through a hole that way. Then just extend the hoses down the wall behind the panel.
Great video. This is EXACTLY what i needed. Im renovating my bathroom and installing a shower tower like this. Great tip on installing the blocking to hold the mounting cleats. I never would have thought of that.
Jeff, your videos are inspirational for DYI'ers like myself. I built a tiled shower with acrylic base and added a Wayfair system, similar but not the waterfall style, and gained the confidence needed. This bathroom reno is a bit of a nightmare as I only have one bathroom, and my wife has physical disabilities, hence the need for a walk in shower. Great work, keep them coming!
Always awesome! The sheer markup with“luxury” in construction is massive. So interesting to see how simple and affordable it can be when you do it yourself!
Just had a $17,000 insurance claim for a client whose husband tried to do it himself. Leaking inside, cracked shower base, trying to save money definitely cost these people
@@vanderumd11 Sounds like someone with 0 experience. This is a stupidly easy job to do and to do right (definitely would have more support for the mounting point than having it on a quickie 2x4 screwed to the stud)
very helpful video. my shower panel mixture handle broke and i was so tensed. Now I can call pfister to replace the unit and install it myself. thanks you for the knowledge session.
If you put in a tower, then later want a more standard shower, should you somehow prepare for that option in advance? Would you need to come in from the back through the adjacent wall?
I saw 'easy' and had to click, it's 1AM I was only to watch a few minutes, and here I am right to the end! Great system I'm replacing the copper, after the second frozen pipe incident in the basement!
Looking to put new install on other side of bathroom wall, then later knock out some of it. If I put some kind of shower/enclosure directly on my old lathed plaster, could I then drill Plex sized holes in wall to put PLEX directly down to basement a few feet away, and do the hookup there? I would connect the PLEX that goes down through the wall with 1/2 inch fittings INSIDE the Tower Unit, so NO leak could happen in wall, and would not need to bust up the plaster much... (OLD HOUSE)
Great video, very helpful! I found when installing grab bars in my Mom's shower, that drill bit you used to drill the holes in the tile was much more functional going at a lower speed. I was shocked the $10 bit bought at Ace was able to drill all the holes I needed to install two grab bars. Thanks for all the great tips!
Great information 👍...you're one of the best 👌...I will be Installing one of those showers soon...never thought it was that easy following your advice..
yet another super useful DIy video! I installed one of these 15 years ago and it was a bit of a pita. I like your pex arrangement and will be doing it your way in my current bathroom reno. Though the Amazon shower panel I got does not have the seal along the side.
Great video as always Jeff, I would like to add that these shower panel systems are designed for a international market and they follow International Plumbing code guidelines. That being said, the included installation directions are typically not the best resource for installing these systems, for a typical North American install I believe this video is a fantastic resource that should be included from the manufacturers selling shower units in North America.
LoL ,,,,@21:49 ,,,I did the same for my American Standard Spectra Versa Retrofit Shower System intake valve, it has flow restrictor so reducing 2.5Gpm to 1.8Gpm (typical California's clueless State board) Should the hole be water-proof so water do not get inside the wall? Hmmm
I know this is a dumb question, but I have a different shower mount I need to fix, because it’s dripping water. I can’t remove the handle, so I was thinking about removing the whole thing to try to fix it. I’m assuming to remove it, I just lift it up, right? I’m not sure if they are all installed the same way.
Hi Jeff, love your videos! I have been looking for the elbows for showers like this, can't find them anywhere: 1/2 inch NPT 90 degree elbow, male - Female, because the new flexible tubes that came with my replacement shower will be flattened and kinked. Any idea where I can buy these?
Awesome video. My shower panel came with two washers and two elbows with male threads. It also has two extra black washers. Do I have to use these? Or just do it the way in your video? I see there's some kind of washer built in the hot and cold water line connections already. So I am not sure if I still have to use these black washers ontop. Thanks
We had a shower panel stop working because there was a plastic manifold that cracked. We had to replace it and it's not that easy because the brackets on the walls are different locations and distance. We originally had a 55" shower panel and they are now hard to find so the shorter ones will not reach the lower bracket. How do you suggest moving the wall clips and fill the holes in the tile? Is there any way where it won't look ugly?
Thank you so much for your video i have one of these types by Roca but the jets are all blocked with scale. I live in a hard water area. Nowhere tells me how to descale these. Can you help me?
Hello. Thank you for the video. It will be very helpful for my bathroom renovation project. My question is how should I do the plumbing to make the shower also compatible with a traditional shower setting, a shower, hot/cold valve, and bottom spout? Thanks in advance.
I'm trying to remove one of these from my bathroom. It's total crap (especially on a well system) when the little jets get clogged. How do I remove the unit and convert to a more conventional shower head system? Any useful advice appreciated.
I am about to replace a older shower tower.. the wall/sheet rock/tile is already in place, and I have a larger hole to cover and will not be able to screw into a stud. Will it be ok to install to the tile/sheet rock? Thanks
Jeff, great video! Two comments 1. Is the link to the actual shower tore provided? Only saw your affiliate link to Wayfair, no details on brand or model. 2. Would love a review and demo of unit when you can. Thanks.
Great video, as always! I actually just bought a similar one after watching! Question though; mine has a thermometer readout, as it looks like yours did as well - does that require wiring of some sort?
Hi can you give us advice. Ours one doesn't heat up that good. We set our tank water heater to 125 Farenheit but the water still lukewarm temperature. We bought twice of this thinking a umit problem. But both doesn't provide hot water.
So I am redoing my shower as well, and I'm getting ready to tile everything. I bought one of these shower towers AKDY -- the body sprays are all plastic. Which isn't that big of a deal -- the concern is that if I have to get rid of it at some point, I didn't tile my shower with a hole for the valve/tub spout/shower spout, will I be able to install a valve/ and redo this afterwards? How hard is it going to be to do so?
Are all shower panel mounting points in the same location. Can I swap an old shower panel system with another without relocation the mounting points on the wall
I bought 2 of these for a couple of bathroom remodels, one of which is in my master bathroom. In my bathroom, I currently have a shower head and then below this are 4 small shower jets, two on each side, with the shower/jets control handle in the middle of the jets. How easy/difficult will replacing this be with the new showers system? And as a newbie DIYer, can I do this myself, or will I require a plumber?
I watched this video probably 100 times. Each time I learn something new. I`m re-piping my home and decided to go and buy a Shower Panel. I have a Ello & Allo brand and it`s very similar to your unit. Question, my outlet hoses on my unit are like yours, they go downward. I`m re-piping my PEX from the ceiling downward like your pex. (My home has 40 year old pipes and under a concrete slab) . Just like you, I will be attaching my PEX and curl the Shower Panel Hoses upward to meet my PEX. But I happen to notice on my unit that it states not to curl hoses upward. I personally don`t think there is any harm. What do you think?
I think the real problem will be with flow, I'm surprised that it is not roughed in with 3/4 " ,you need more flow for body sprays and the shower head, 1/2 is not enough flow for all those fixtures?
bro i bought the same shower tower but it had even more water jets for your back and a tap and it was 90 pounds and i waited 2 weeks but its good quality and everyting
Hello. Late here. I was looking to install a Shower Panel System. I currently have the Delta rough in valve R10000-UNBXHF. Is it as easy as removing the rough in valve and hooking up the hoses? Thanks.
Mr. Thorman used a laser to check that the holes for the mounting brackets were vertically aligned. It's also a good idea, after securing the shower tower to the wall, to check that the unit is centered as desired and isn't tilted, because typically each bracket allows considerable lateral play, almost equal to the width of the shower tower.
Really easy to understand and usefull. Personally I would add on the top of the square in ceramics for pipes, a tinny plastic water deflector. Just in case if water comes along the wall upper than the shower head. It will protect when cleaning by scrubbing all tiles and heavy rinse....
Do these types work with a separate booster for water pressure if we wanted more pressure? I know it will max out at the flow rate, but I would like the max flow rate. This was very helpful for a novice like me. Thank you!
In almost all your videos, which are great by the way, you mention that there will be a link in the description bellow the video, but there never are. Am I missing something?
Great vid, can I ask if this is a electric shower or thermostatic? I thought it was thermostatic as you have cold and hot water pipe going in, but then also saw wires behind panel and not sure what they're for so confused? Thanks
Great video- another install well done! I'm only surprised that Jeff even tried to use the screws that came with the unit. Those cheap China screws almost always strip too easily. Best use a better quality screw such as a wood screw to avoid frustration and time-consuming removal.
Very good. Makes me wonder if you could put some kind of a washing machine outlet for the hot and cold. That way it could be sealed. Or that may be overkill. .
Another great video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I always wondered how these get installed. We have copper plumbing so I dont think it will be as easy.

Why did you loop the hoses and fittings behind it instead of just going straight into the hoses with fittings? I’m installing and wondering
I'd be scared that someone would pop that SOB off of the wall... but you're the pro, I guess I'd have to trust you on that.
No worries on the pop off thing. I have a similar system for over 10 years. It's all good.
Yes Philips are the bane of construction. They are designed for robotic assembly line work. So that the machine doesn’t over tighten.
I guess the tricky part is to have the perfect measurement for the brackets
Should I have to open my wall largely to find the pipes ?

Can you add a tower to a tub surround that is installed directly to studs? I have access to frame behind where the shower will be installed.
Excellent video. Installing this tonight. Thx!
Does it need electricity, is top of the shower open, can i get hot and cold water pipe through top?
Is there anything that can be added to the exposed metal to prevent accidental injuries? Some sort of mouldings or something like that
Great video...lots of tips, but straight to the point. Thanks, you saved me a lot of time!
Do you need a very high pressure for this or normal
Is there the option for a diverter and how would you add this feature to a bath tub/shower set up.
Another great video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I always wondered how these get installed. We have copper plumbing so I dont think it will be as easy.
Just go from copper to pex, then you can follow the video.
