ROVATE Shower Panel Tower System with Adjustable 6 Body Jets, Brushed

This looks and feels like a super high end shower. You can adjust the top rain shower head up higher for taller people. The hand held is great. The front sprayers are great too. The unit itself is metal but the handles, hand held sprayer and front sprayers look good but are plastic. If you are not careful or if you are rough I could see them breaking. They have not broken for us. If you want everything stainless steel you will pay thousands of dollars. This is fantastic for the price and worth every penny.

I can't believe it took me this long to get 1. If you're thinking of buying this don't wait get it!!! You will not believe how nice this tower works. And my plumber told me it was the easiest thing to install....water pressure is great even when you angle it. Fits to your height and rust free. Great value for the money.

Packaging was very well done. Nicely packed, well protected, cloth bag around main unit to keep any scratches off from rubbing or other during shipping. As others have mentioned the tubing connecting some of the nozzles is too thin and seems to kink, appears it would kink even more once warmed up and running.... So I chose to replace a few $1.49 a foot, needed a couple of feet is all.... I can say with those improvements, and they may not have been needed mind you...but wanted to do it, it was easy, before installed....the unit works great! The mention of LOW water pressure, may have been a kink in their system....I would say there is NO WATER SAVER whatsoever in this unit...as I now have much less hot water than my previous setup :( But I love the amount of water pouring in over my head, or even on my body with the side jets...and the hand/wand is basically a power washer in one of the modes! Nearly too much if you ask me. So if you find your unit has kinks in the hoses, or "could" after warm/hot water is passing through, take the time to run by your local hardware store, grab a few feet of 3/8" tubing and replace as needed. Shame this may have to be done (and I honestly don't know, it was more peace of mind for me) but the unit is well worth the money even with the added 1 hour labor (including trip to hardware store) and $4 in parts. Installation was a breeze. I needed to cut away my old valve unit, mine had a left and right tube, along with the shower head going up, the bottom was plugged. So after removing the valve, I cleaned up the copper pipe and snapped some shark bite fittings with MALE 1/2" threads on them. This allows the included metal braided hoses to screw right into your home water system. Hanging the unit was two brackets that each have two screws. The units SLIDES down onto these brackets. If I ever have any issues it will be very easy to lift unit off wall and check replace items in the future. Overall I'm very pleased thus far.

I was not happy when I first installed the unit. Water pressure was terrible. Contacted Rovate for a fix. They told me there is a restrictor in the show vale body. Found the restrictor and removed it. Shower in Awesome! Very happy!

Looks great works very well

This is an attractive unit, but there are some things that I think they could do to make it much better, for little additional cost. 1. The 12" STRAIGHT water hoses used to connect to the supply lines are useless if you have water pipes coming straight out of the wall, not on a 90 degree angle. I planned the water outlets to match the installation of this unit, so the water was connected near the bottom, because the suggested location (above the water connections in the unit) would have kinked the hose BADLY just to get the hoses to the connections. The 90 degree turn inside the 2.5" deep body caused them to fold flat so no water could come out. I had to MAKE two 12" (or so) hoses from PEX connectors, with one end a 90 degree swivel elbow and the other end straight. I used a heavy-duty hand-shower hose with PEX crimp rings. This allowed me to connect to my water supply lines without kinking them. (See image for sample of what I made - note image is NOT the same length as what I made... much longer) The thing is, because of the way these mount, the hose needs to be FLEXIBLE, because as the unit slides down onto the mounting brackets, the hose has to bend behind the panel almost two inches. If the company simply included a set of these, possibly a couple sets (different lengths), it would be MUCH nicer. I'm not sure you can even BUY them. 2. The instructions were VERY vague as to the best place to position the water lines as well. 3. It would be nice to be able to easily increase the water volume in the unit. We have plenty of pressure in our home, but the body jets and rain shower don't have nearly enough volume for my preference (Maybe this is possible, as I'm awaiting a reply from the company on this, will edit later if so). 4. The rivets on the back should be coated with rubber or something because in the process of installing these units, you need to put them on and off a few times, just to get them "right" with all the water line issues, and the rivets scratch the surface of your shower. 5. Lastly, they could redesign the mounting system a bit, in my opinion. It would be much better if the wall mount that you screw into the wall had a bar that extended to the sides of the unit, with threaded ends, and you simply put a stainless steel screw through a hole from the outside, into the mount on each side, at the top and bottom mount. Then you don't have to SLIDE it down the wall to mount it. Easy design mod. I may actually fasion one of these myself, so that I can remove it more easily... (See image) Once installed, this unit is good, just not great, as I'd hoped it would be, for the above reasons.

Easy to install and works great

This nicely looking, short, 46.8 inch system is virtually non-connectable in the way the manufacturer advertise it. Here is why: All action of advertised connections happens in the-so-called "compartment C". This compartment is to small and too crowded to get thing connected without ordeal. There is no single photo or video how provided 12" non-kinked connectors are connected to wall connectors and how they fit in this small in height "Compartment C". This compartment has one bypass between two jets, must fit bracket between two water lines and must have space for 180 deg turn of stiff non-kinked line. One user in these thread said that provided 12" hoses are useless. It is true. But company wo sell it also knows it. If I am wrong- OK, but manufacturer then must show how to connect in compartment C; two stiff hoses got connection are preshaped into Compartment C.. To make it work, one has to inject two long flex lines somewhere through long middle compartment. Basically you buy the panel for 200$ and then pay $700 for installation or spent several days installing it yourself. Main obstacle- short&small lowest section (aka Compartment C) and unadequate 1/2 f-f hoses provided.

Ça fait la job c'est certain mais ça vaut pas $279.00, pas de balance valve, pas de LED. Le positif est que c'est du métal et non du plastique

Very pleased so far. The unit arrived well packaged and protected. The unit seems well manufactured for the price and comes with some of the tools necessary for assembly including little white gloves! Some extra brackets and other pieces are included which is nice. Assembly was relatively straightforward. I did tighten all the hose clamps as suggested. I had to reroute one of the water supply lines for my installation but this may be unique to my set up. Once installed the water pressure seems very good. It is possible to run two of the three shower sources at once by rotating the selection knob between the two source indents. The pressure is obviously reduced. We will have to see how long it lasts. My experience with other manufacturers is about 7 or 8 yearsI however, I would recommend the unit

Great product for smaller shower. Arrived as planned, easy to install and work as expected. Thabks

Shipping was very fast. Bought this to replace another shower column that started to leak after 10 years (not this brand). It fit well over existing wide fittings. Column is stainless steel, fittings and plumbing look to be good quality. Shower head and wand are chrome coloured plastic, a bit disappointing. This unit has great spray and lots of water pressure. Very happy with purchase.

Sleek looking, easy install, works great
