Content: Are...you...kidding...me!?
So, one would assume that if you're looking for a two-head showerhead, you're probably getting a little upset at the government's regulation of showerheads and the 2.5 gpm restriction. You might think that this product--with its TWO heads--might result in 5 gpm, so that you can get a halfway decent shower.
WRONG!!!
You have two heads trickling water at you at 2.5 gpm TOTAL. Yes, there's a regulator in there that actually makes sure that you don't get too much out of both showerheads at the same time. And then there's another regulator on the remote shower head, just to keep water restricted even further.
Look carefully at the photo included with product--the only one where water's coming out. That is NOT high pressure coming out--the water is making a low arc. You might think that the photo was taken under low pressure conditions for the sake of elegance, but that's actually what you'll be experiencing with your magnificent Delta dual-headed shower.
TIP IF YOU ARE GOING TO KEEP THE PRODUCT AND ARE DISSATISFIED.
You can override the regulator within the 'remote' showerhead--the one you can hold in your hand. Simply disassemble it from hose, and you'll see a grey screen to catch debris. This is a redundant screen--there's one on the 'source' as well where the shower head screws on to water piping in your home. If you look behind this screen, you'll find the water regulator behind it.
In the old days, you could pull these regulators out with pliers, etc... No more. The government and/or Delta doesn't trust you. Instead, you literally have to DRILL it out with an electric drill. put on a 1/8" drill bit on an electric drill--preferrably one designed to burrow into walls, etc..., and drill straight through the mesh along the path of the water.
Within about 5-10 seconds of effort, the regulator will be chewed to pieces and should fall out harmlessly. You'll notice a substantial increase in water flow to that one particular head. The main showerhead is essentially unserviceable--I took the whole thing apart, and you really can't tamper with that regulator without seriously damaging yoru showerhead.
The short story is, don't buy this product. If you did and are stuck with it, please do yourself a favor and take a drill to it so that you can get at least some water out of it.
Summary: No pressure!!!

Content: I bought this new shower head for my wife. When she saw it, she was so excited. When she used it she was very upset. It does not allow enough water pressure to function properly. I took out and drilled out all the restrictors and it works better. However, there still is not enough pressure to use all the functions. Don't spent the money on this, my wife likes the cheap hand held we had better than this one. I however, like this better because of the both together rain feature and being able to use the hand held and still be under the water from the other. I shave my head and don't need water pressure to wash out shampoo though..
Summary: Good idea - doesn't work

Content: What made me decide to purchase this product was the outstanding number of possibilities. Using both head and wand together gave the widest coverage and largest volume, while switching to the head or wand alone conserves water. In practice, the choices were more than what I needed. I rarely used the high-power massage modes or the shower head, which are too strong for infants.
On the shower wand, the two modes which I most frequently used, Trickle and Steady flow, are on the opposite ends of the switch/ring. Like other reviewers, I found that it is difficult to twist even after learning the proper techniques.
Two things would have made this product better: 1) If the ring allowed a full 360 (1-2-3-4-5-1), so that Trickle is more accessible. 2) If the head contained a variable flow switch, that would duplicate the Trickle mode of the shower wand.
I used the In2ition for about 3 months. I've replaced it with a shower wand that has the features I now want, namely the variable flow switch and a built-in shut off when the water becomes too hot. Search Google or Amazon for "antiscald" to find it.
Summary: Cool product but novelty wears off quickly

Content: These showerheads offer a nice variety of options with the removable showerhead and the stationary shower as well. It was easy to install, look nice and they work very well. So far they've been excellent.
Summary: very good product

Content: Me and my girlfriend share the shower in the morning before work so I thought this would work better than rotating turns under the shower head. Best idea ever! Of course water pressure was a concern, but it was not a problem. When both heads are turned on, the water pressure is fine. And when you have just the hose turned on, you could remove paint.
There are a lot of settings, and the knob to turn water off and on between hose, shower head, or both, is pronounced and easy to turn with soapy hands.
The unit is heavy duty and well constructed, you can feel the quality.
I'll never go back.
Summary: !Totally Awesome!
