Do you want to remodel your bathroom without having to tear open your shower wall? Pulse ShowerSpas makes an easy install shower system that allows you to use your existing plumbing.
How Easy is it to Install the Pulse Shower System?
First, you can use the temperature value you already have and attach this unit to your current showerhead pipe. Therefore, you don’t have to make any complicated plumbing adjustments or even break any wall tiles.
In fact, you can hang this shower panel above or to the side of existing fixtures. Consequently, this makes installation a lot easier (and faster).
At the same time, you can enjoy an elevated rainfall shower head without having to go through your bathroom ceiling. Plus, you can pivot the upper shower arm to re-locate the 8-inch showerhead.
By the way, this unit comes pre-plumbed. Therefore, you don’t have to be a plumber to convert to a shower spa. All water lines and valves are conveniently connected within the panel itself.
Although most shower panels are fairly easy to install and can be placed directly over tile, this unit is much easier to connect.
Note: Actually, average homeowners can usually complete this DIY project in under one hour. (Talk about a cost-saving and time-saving remodel!)
The Bonzai Massage Shower has a Bunch of Upscale Features:
Even though this thin shower panel is not as wide as traditional models, it’s not short on functions. For example, you can still adjust the massage jets to point in various directions.
Therefore, you can get a more customized bathing experience. Plus, you can re-direct the jets each time you shower.
Not to mention, the wall jets actually pulsate in addition to simply spraying water. (Some jets just mist or emit water without offering a massage-like effect.)
On top of that, the attached hand shower offers 5 different functions. As a result, you can get an invigorating shower anywhere you want it.
Note: Unfortunately, you may have a hard time enjoying a regular shower again. In other words, once you switch to a therapeutic Bonzai Shower System, you may never go back. =)
Lastly, the post has a shelf that can hold soap, a razor or other small items. At the same time, it keeps with the shower system’s minimal design and minimizes clutter.

Do You Need a Mixing Valve to Match?
Because this shower spa is designed to be used with an existing mixing valve, it doesn’t come with one if its own. Therefore, if this is a new installation (or you want to replace your existing valve), you’ll need to purchase one separately.
Pulse makes this easy by making matching mixing valves. You can choose from square or round fixtures, plus the value comes in a variety of different finishes.
Similar to the easy install shower panel, this mixing valve is designed to quick installation. You can typically replace your existing valve in a matter of minutes.
Note: Valore makes another retrofit shower panel with a more modern, square-shaped design. It connects to your current shower plumbing in virtually the same way, however the features vary.
For example, the wall jets and overhead rainshower can’t adjust or pivot. That said, it costs about $70 less than the Pulse model above.
If nothing else, you can compare the Valore easy install shower panel system to the Bonzai to see which you prefer.
