5.0 out of 5 stars Second best shower I have ever had., October 11, 2008

By	S. Donaldson (Bothell, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Delta Faucet 1748-74 Classic Single-Handle Tub and Shower Faucet, Chrome (Tools & Hardware)

After much contemplation I finally bought this and the companion 1724-74 to install in my shower at home. I did the work myself which took a little longer than I expected and had a few more trips to the hardware store, but I am quite satisfied with the accomplishment.

This installed very easily. I would encourage you to read the installation manual, if you are doing this, rather than just assuming you know how to install a faucet.

You have the ability to configure it for hot/cold on coming ni either side which was a nice feature.

It was very easy to get the scald guard adjusted right for me, contrary to a previous review. It is certainly more complicated than a faucet that just has individual on/off valves for the hot and cold line. But you can adjust the stop for the scald guard with a screwdriver and repositioning it in about 2 minutes.

The fact that it adjusts to manage the temperature makes for the fastest shower-up-to-temp time I have experienced. In the mornings, I just turn it on, wait and the shower is up to temp much faster than I am used to. I think the reason is that the faucet automatically goes full-hot until it starts getting hot water and then manages the hot/cold flow to keep the temperature stable. My previous shower faucet required continuous adjustement for the first several minutes of a shower.

The only down side is that I put two of these in the same shower, so the water comes at you from both sides (with indivudal temp control). Now I find we stay in the shower too long. But I don't think I can blame that on the faucet. :-)

4.0 out of 5 stars What I wanted, January 28, 2009

I bought this kit to replace my existing Delta fixture. I wanted separate volume/temperature controls which this unit provides.

I settled on Delta because installation costs a lot more than the unit itself. Delta seems to have standardized on this base for most of their units and it is pretty easy to find replacement parts. My plumber seemed pleased; he said he had been trained on Delta fixtures and had no trouble getting it installed.

It's been in for 4 months and I haven't had any problems with it. When eventually it does leak/fail it should be possible to fix without breaking open the wall again. Where plumbing's concerned, that's the best I can hope for.

Delta created a nice looking combo with great water pressure. I am enjoying having my new shower head. The faucet allows you to set the temperature so you don't have to adjust each time you turn on the shower. What a great idea.
