Check out this shower we recently completed. It has shower heads on the wall and the ceiling, a hand-held shower head, three body sprays, and a six-position valve that controls which of the fixtures you want water coming out of, if not all of them. The bench along the back wall makes a great place to sit and enjoy the experience of the ultimate shower. It’s also designed without a door, and the opening is 30” wide in case a walker or chair is ever needed to get into the shower.

There are many types of spray systems available; this is the one we installed for this project: [**Delta Leland Monitor 17 Series Shower System**](http://www.faucetdirect.com/delta-leland-monitor-17-series-shower-system-with-shower-head-diverter-trim-wall-mount-hand-shower-3-body-sprays-diverter-rough/p1957902?source=gg-gba-pla_1957902____6438718763&s_kwcid=PTC!pla!!!38964257363!g!!6438718763&gclid=CNu5lJKz8LMCFXCmPAodozMASg)

**Tankless Water Heater**  
With the image of taking a very long and hot ultimate shower, one concern is having enough hot water to allow you to stay in the shower for as long as you want. The answer is a tankless water heater. The water is heated on demand rather than heated in a storage tank with limited capacity. We chose a Rinnai for this project. Rinnai has a great presentation of how the tankless water heater works here: [**How Tankless Works**](http://www.rinnai.us/tankless-water-heater/how-tankless-works)

Tankless water heaters are not always the best answer for a hot water system. Here is a very good article from *Consumer Reports* that discusses the [**pros and cons of a tankless hot water system**](http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/appliances/heating-cooling-and-air/water-heaters/tankless-water-heaters/overview/tankless-water-heaters-ov.htm).

Enjoy,  
 Mike
