I purchased all Danze units for both of my showers. A Thermostatic Control D155000BT, 3 On/Off/Volume Controllers D135300BT, an Overhead Shower drop, a Wall Mounted Shower connector for a hand held shower wand, and 4 of these Body Sprayers. Both the pressure and the flow rate are fantastic, if you remove the little plastic flow regulator just inside the mounting flange. It will come out with a small pair of needle nose pliers, and you can always put it back in, if you think you a wasting too much water. After 6 months of use, my water bill has not gone up 1 penny. My water bill gets charged in 1000 gallon increments, 1000 being the minimum that you pay for, even if you only use 1 gallon. I have never gone over 1000 gallons, so I pay the same exact amount every month. If I want more pressure and flow, I am in control of that now, not some control monger politician, who has no business telling me how to use my water.If you do remove the filters and flow controls from these units, you want to make sure that there are fine screen filters in both your hot and cold water lines just before your shower heads, otherwise you will eventually have clogged Body Sprayers that you probably won't get unclogged. If shower heads get clogged from hard water, they can always be unclogged using CLR, but if fine chunks a debris, like small rocks, sand, and silt, get into your shower heads, they are toast. If you purchase the Danze Thermostatic Controller D155000BT it already has removable and easily cleanable fine filters on the supply side of the unit. You also want to be sure and use a minimum of 3 Body Sprayers on one circuit to distribute the total pressure across all 3 heads, otherwise the excess pressure can cause a separation between the front and back side of the body sprayer.I purchased all 3/4 inch high flow rate units for the Thermostatic Control and Volume Controls. I also intentionally chose to use 3 separate Volume controls, instead of a Diverter Valve, because I wanted to be able to turn on all of the shower heads and body sprayers at the same time. It's a little bit more plumbing work, but it was worth it. With this setup, when I turn on all 3 volume controls to maximum flow, I still get good pressure and flow from all 3 at the same time, and I get completely drenched with water from all sides. The pressure drops down to about 60% compared to the pressure when only one valve is open at full flow.These little units look great and the massage function feels great at high pressure and flow.So basically, I LOVE all of the Danze products that I have purchased, and I will more than likely never buy anything else. I am now a Danze fanatic and loyal customer. All of the Danze Shower products are made with good quality brass, with good quality ceramic valves in the Volume control valves. I spent many months researching the best quality for the price, before I made my purchase. I found that nobody else came close to Danze for the price for their claims of good quality shower and bath components, but when I finally got these units in my hands and installed them and tested them for myself, it put a big huge smile on my face. They really are top quality, and the price is much better than than any other brands with the same quality.

I was extremely impress with the packaging and the product. It was heavy solid brass with a high quality chrome finish which is very uncommon now a days its usually plastic made in China. It even had plumbers tape so as a homeowner can finish the job without going to a hardware store. Most of these manufactures don't think of these little things and you end up going to the hardware store a couple of times just to install the product.The price was well worth the product. I highly recommend this product if you are into Quality Workmanship!

I re-did my shower and added 3 of these to it, they work great, have different spray patterns with the turn of the head, well worth the money.

Used instead of a tub spout in a shower conversion for flex use as either foot spray, mop bucket filler, and for child to play in,
