Best Bathtub & Shower Diverter Valves of 2025

"I learned a lot from others' reviews, so I wanted to share my experience with my recent bathroom remodel. I found that anything behind the wall is crucial, as failures can lead to significant costs and headaches. I decided to build my own set instead of going for a cheaper option. I chose the MultiChoice Universal Integrated Shower Diverter Rough, and it operates smoothly. Although I only have two shower applications, I appreciate the functionality of my setup."

"After having another one of these for 8 years, I can say it works flawlessly. Despite living in an area with high lime water, I haven't experienced any issues. My wife can turn on various appliances without affecting the shower temperature, which is a huge benefit. Although the cost is high, the lifetime warranty gives me peace of mind."

"I bought this valve for my basement finishing project, and it was installed by my plumber. Initially, I faced a defect with it. However, I later discovered that the problem was in the cartridge that came with the Delta control face unit. An O-ring was broken, preventing the water from turning off. Luckily, I figured it out without having to remove the valve. I recommend checking the cartridge O-rings before installation."

"I found the installation very straightforward. Just make sure to follow the instructions carefully to flush the valve. I mounted it appropriately, and it works great—no leaks so far!"

"I replaced a Delta valve at my daughter's house with this Moen product. I appreciate how easy Moen valves are to install. Replacement cartridges are also much simpler, making it my preferred choice for plumbing valves."

"After tackling a friend's leaking shower valve, I discovered the old unit was quite a challenge to remove. However, once I managed to replace it with the Moen valve, the water flow improved significantly, and she's very pleased with the results. It's a solid unit!"

"I appreciate the consistent water temperature this valve provides. It's so easy to use with the separate knobs: the bottom one for temperature and the top for volume. It really feels like a luxury upgrade in my shower."

"I recently installed this valve, and it's both beautiful and functional. My only concern is that I can't use the shower wand and the overhead shower at the same time, but I love the sleek design."

"I was disappointed when my order arrived with some parts missing, but I must say, the customer service was excellent. They sent out the replacement parts quickly and without hassle. The shower is now working great!"

“I bought the entire collection in this color for my bathroom, and it's very chic and elegant.”

“I found exactly what I needed – great quality and it arrived on time.”

“While Delta isn’t my top brand, my sister loves it and is slowly replacing her faucets with Delta products. It was delivered intact, and my father is helping with the installation, which looks great so far. I trust Delta for its durability and appreciate the lifetime warranty.”

"I needed a quality diverter, and this Moen model fit the bill perfectly. The all-metal construction feels durable, and I was able to install it myself with ease. While I do wish it was a bit cheaper, I believe you're getting what you pay for with this product."

"After trying several cheap plastic diverters that failed miserably, I decided to invest in this Moen diverter. I installed it within five minutes and had no leaks whatsoever. It feels solid and well-made, and I couldn't be happier with my decision to go with a reputable brand like Moen."

"I was hesitant at first due to the price, but after reading the reviews, I took the plunge. It was easy to secure and feels like a high-end product. The mechanism operates smoothly, and I have no complaints about the water pressure. Overall, I’m glad I chose this diverter."

“I chose this valve for its quality and compatibility with the 17T trim. The shutoff screws are a handy feature, allowing us to keep the house water on while calibrating the trim valve temperature.”

“I appreciate the great water flow from this valve. However, make sure to read the instructions carefully. If you plan to use more than two outlets, purchasing the correct cartridge is essential.”

“I haven't had this installed yet, but my contractor trusts that Delta products are of high quality.”

“I found the drop-down design handy and solidly made. It doesn't restrict flow, and the selector is smooth and effortless. It works beautifully with my handheld shower, and both items were installed in just 5 minutes.”

“This product has been a game changer for my 32-inch radial-base corner shower. The overhead spray is perfect for our small space, and I love the hand-held option. Everything needed for an easy installation was included.”

“I wanted a lower diverter for easier access to my handheld shower wand, and this is it! The diverter is great quality, metal, not plastic, and I had no issues with installation. Water pressure remained the same, and I am very pleased!”

"I found this replacement valve body to be a great solution for my old one, which was completely clogged with lime. Before calling a plumber, I decided to try using white vinegar, and after letting it sit for 5 days, it worked like new! This saved me a lot of money and hassle."

"I appreciate the control I get with the soldered connections on this valve. I opted for the threaded NPT version over the Pex-A fittings because I prefer the reliability of soldered joints. The quality is impressive, and I plan to replace all the valves in my house with Delta."

"At first, I was uncertain about this product due to its affordable price. However, several plumbers I consulted all agreed that it's a great choice. It works with a variety of trims and offers flexibility, which is perfect for my needs."

"I was thrilled with the perfect height and alignment of this shower system. The control between the overhead and handheld shower is smooth and intuitive, making it easy for me and my kids to use. Installation was a breeze, and the quality of the materials is fantastic. I really appreciate the design and performance!"

"I needed a solution for giving my dog a bath, and this setup is just what I was looking for. The height is perfect for someone short like me, and I can easily switch between the rain showerhead and the handheld attachment. Installation was straightforward, and I love that it's all metal, which feels sturdy. No more standing on my tiptoes to reach the handheld shower!"

"This product has been a great upgrade for my shower. The knob placement is so much more convenient than a high-mounted valve. I use it for therapy often, and it’s well made of solid metal, which is important to me. I did notice a slight decrease in water pressure when using both heads at once, but I usually use one at a time anyway. Overall, it’s an inexpensive upgrade that I highly recommend!"

"I found the quality made part to be exactly as described and simple to install. It works great, and I think it's worth the price. The switch to change directions is perfect and the turns are smooth, not affecting water pressure at all."

"I used this diverter to add a bidet to my tankless toilet bathroom, and so far, I love it! The finish is perfect, and the 50/50 setting works flawlessly. It’s a hefty little guy that allows water to flow very well."

"The lever to switch from the fixed spray head to the handheld is easy to use and works perfectly. The part worked great for my shower application."
