from what i can gather their warranties are not great + too many fairly if you cant find the same company down the road, as long as you can find a simmilar one, replacement is just two hose connections, where as shower valves seems more involved especially if welded. What are ppls thoughts, is there something else terribly wrong with these wall mounted showers? I dont really see any ppl in youtube use them?. ...Expand
