Greetings to all! Newbie here. Question regaurding Rohl. My first time with this.The 2nd floor remodled shower I am doing will have 2 thermostatic valves and 2 volume controls(ergo 2 showers in 1). The Rohl manuel dictates, (not suggests) dedicated 3/4 lines to each valve. Both hot and cold. So 4 lines?! from the "source"?- h/w heater. This seems so "overpiped"? Could I be wrong? sure! Which is why I'm asking.
I installed a Ghroe system in a his/her shower some years back, complete with seperate valves, volume control, body spray, hand held,shower head.No mention of dedicated,but all in 3/4 from the h/w heater (1h 1c) no problem with pressure. Is this just Rohl doing a cya thing?
Feedback greatly appreciated!

all your doing is 2 shower heads total right?
they are most likely doing a CYA in case your doing a full shower system/body sprays off of each
i dont know if ive ever used a your expensive type of setup just for a basic shower head...its nice what your doing, but its over kill
