I'm installing a custom shower in my new home.  House will be supplied by a well.  What is the typical output from a residential well system?  THe reason I ask is don't know if the flow rate of body sprayers will exceed what my system is capable of?  Thanks.

The pump output will be determined by the size and type of the pump.  I would be more concerned about your house piping.  If the body sprayers call for more volume then your 1/2" branch can supply then you will notice a dramatic pressure drop. What does the installation sheet recommend for a supply?  Regards,  Tom

The info I found on it says the mixing/transfer vavle has 1/2 IPS connections.  It also says the body sprayers are rated at 2.5gpm max @ 80psi.  THe mixing valve comes with 1/2" CC openings.
