Custom Shower Systems - Water ConsiderationsWater, water, water..... When considering a custom shower design, it is important to determine how much water you will need. While a standard shower faucet may use 2.5 GPM of water, a custom shower system may use 12-15GPM or more. You should consult with your contractor to determine:
Build Your Own Custom Shower SystemsIf you want to design a truly unique custom shower there are several key components to think about. We’ve highlighted what components you will need to consider when building a shower system. Use our checklist and informational steps below. If you have any questions, our expert product specialists are just a phone call away, they will be happy to answer your questions and help provide product advice. Steps 1-4 Custom Shower Systems ChecklistDetermine how much water you will need. The amount of water will be equal to the total output of all shower outlets (showerheads, hand showers, and/or body sprays). 
Just add them all up! Add total GPM of the number of components (showerheads, hand showers, and/or body sprays) you have selected in steps #1 – #3 of the above list. Total Output = _____GPM This “Total Output GPM” number will determine the type of valve you need. Most systems with (1-2) showerheads, (1) handheld and (3) body sprays can use a standard ¾” high volume valve with an output of 15GPM. Steps 5-8 Custom Shower Checklist
Choose your valve For maximum safety and comfort it is best to use a thermostatic temperature control valve – preferably ¾”. A ¾” high output thermostatic valve will not only give the needed flow, but more importantly - it will control and maintain the temperature. The capacity of the valve (GPM output) must be able to handle greater or equal value to the sum of your chosen components. This is why you added the total capacity needed for your components above. Choose your thermostatic valve based on the amount of water it can handle.
