I'm looking at a shower panel with body massagers - the Vigo Dilana. It has a rain shower head and 6 body sprayers. See pics below.

I have a 3' x4' shower enclosure with two walls being tiled. It's the sliding door Vigo Winslow. Also pictured below.

I'll have 6" curbs.

1. To minimize splash should I direct the water flow at the fixed panel. I'm concerned about the 6 body spray nozzles. Or can I direct it at the sliding door? The latter would be more ideal from shower panel placement perspective - but open to either.

2. Will the rain fall style shower head create enough pressure to wash off soap efficiently?

3. Can I buy aftermarket arms to extend the shower arm length? I'd like to get the rainfall about the center of the shower.


Thanks

I use a similar shower control panel. The rain head can be turned away (outward) from a straight down position and it works great for soaping and rinsing. This way, the arm is perfect without increasing the length.

Thanks Havasu.
 
Do shower panels require the use of a shower panel box for your copper supply lines?

My shower panel had already been installed when I purchased this home, so I really don't know for sure. There are numerous YouTube videos available to help you install Vigo shower unit, but it seems all of them deal with the glass panels and not the control unit.
