Hi all,
We are hiring a plumber to install two showerheads in our new master bathroom. He has told me that I need to purchase the handles/trims and valves for the install. He has tried to explain to me what I need but I am still confused, can you help? He told me there are two ways of doing it: using only one handle and using a diverter or using two handles (one for each shower head) What are the pros and cons to each? (I will need to weigh cost too) What would I need to buy? (I plan on using the Delta Lahara handles from Home Depot) They sell the following types of handles (which I do not know the difference of:
