I'm in the process of building a home and the builder ask me to pick out showerheads and faucets. I started to see that the showerheads says Transfer valve and/or thermostatic valve and/or volume valve was used. I'm not sure what these are and if I need them or not. Can someone please explain? PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!!

What is you're looking for? Top of the line valves that are sometimes pricey or a regular tub and shower valve with a standard shower head?

This is for the showers. We are getting 3 showerheads. A hand shower, a regular showerhead and a rain overhead shower.

My question still stands. What is you're looking for? Top of the line valves that are sometimes pricey or a regular tub and shower valve with a standard shower head? Regards, Tom

I just want to know if I need them or not. And what are they? What are they used for?

A transfer valve lets you choose which combination of the three water sources is on. - You need this.

A thermostat valve lets you preselect a water temperature. This works well only if the input temperatures of the hot and cold are relatively constant throughout the year. - This is optional.

A volume valve, the usual on-off valve, lets you control the volume. - You need this.

Thank you so much. I had no idea what they were.
