Completed installation overview of ‪@kohler‬ DTV+ 6 Port thermostatic valve, 11kw steam generator and Real Rain Shower Panel
Personally, I dislike the Real Rain panel. I feel its a complete waste of money and I got robbed by ‪@kohler‬ - it sucks! Plain and simple. But if you want to buy one - use this Amazon link! amzn.to/3cNh0VD

So nice to see someone who knows to size up the pex in the system. The moment I heard that, your review became the top of the pile. 3/4 supply lines to 1/2 outlet lines with pex just doesn't flow enough to not see a relatively severe pressure drop. I had 3/4 and 1/2 installed in the primary bath in my house and wound up having to go back and swap it out with 1" in to the 3/4 supply and to 3/4 to the 1/2 outlet like you did. Even with the shower rough in being 1/2 outlets it flowed better gpms with less pressure drop.

Hey @pipedoctor. Great video. I'm currently living in Puerto Rico and undergoing a complete master bedroom bath rehab. I have almost the exact same system setup that you installed. DTV 6 port Thermo valve, 13kw Steam Gen, 4 Body Strays, 2 angled body sprays, 4 speakers, Hand Held, but no overhead rain shower. We just demolished the the entire bedroom. Would love to hire you as a consultant if possible to help with the planning of the install of all these units. I have been through all the manuals and have a pretty comprehensive understanding and preliminary plan of action already. If this would be something you have a little spare time for, i'd be more then willing to compensate you for your time. If there is one thing i hate doing, its anything twice. As you can imagine there are not any plumbers in puerto rico that have ever seen this system. LOL. I'm a GC stateside and have plenty of knowledge to get this done myself. A little guidance by you and I could knock this out the park. Thanks

We're looking into installing this system in a new project we're working on. There are so many parts you need to make this DTV+ system work. I appreciate your video because its helped me figure it out. There's really not that much out there. My final question is, is there a specific collection of shower heads or any Kohler shower heads you can use with this?

One question. I love the idea of pushing a button for the shower and it setting to water temp without having to worry about checking and re-checking before I get into it. My question, can you also do a one button set temp and fill for a tub? I like showers, my wife always takes a bath. It would be nice to have the shower feature for her tub? If you could tell me if it exists and if it does, explain how you do it. Thanks for your time, love your channel!

We're going to be installing the DTV in our new house. 4 body sprays, 1 handheld, 1 shower head, 1 rainfall head, and a steam shower. My question is, how do you keep the water hot. My plumber told me we'll burn through our water heater in 10 minutes. I talked about doing a couple of tankless heaters. How did you keep up with the demand of the system? We're in Wisconsin, so the water temp rise is my concern.

Great video my friend. Question, on the 3M filter into the steam generator, why did you choose not to have the cold water 3/4 inlet run through it first and then the DTV and Steam Generator next? I'm in the process of implementing the same with Kohler's new Anthem controller and a Thermasol Steam unit. Definitely interested in your thoughts. Looking to use the same 3M Brand but the 15GPM version. Thanks in advance for your time.

Curious why you would plumb in pex? Those fittings are terrible and the algae that grows in them is nasty.. plus all those fittings create so much head pressure limiting flow. Don't you think it's better to bend copper for maximum flow and copper in general to control growth in pipes. A lot of money for this system and nice cast iron but then the pex I can never understand why people choose it, especially nowadays with copper crimp fittings. Curious your thoughts
