Delta Ara Floor Mount Tub Filler Trim, Stainless

This filler is BEAUTIFUL. Just gorgeous. But, what I didn't think about was the functionality I was really looking for. Maybe that's my fault assuming a standing filler would have the same functionality as a regular in-tub one, but I also feel like what I was expecting should be default for all fillers. I did not realize you couldn't control the water flow/volume separately from the temperature when I purchased. There is no valve that you could even get separately, or use the same one like a shower head uses. My contractor reached out to Delta to see if there was any solution. The wand also only has one speed - full on, so that the spray bounces off you and goes everywhere when you use it. It's hardly usable in that regard, and really the main reason for the 3-star review. The filler is also extremely tall - having an option to make even just a couple inches shorter would really help reduce back spray. There was also a manufacturing problem that turned our water brown (rust) and I had to run the water for several seconds to clear it out, and we had to get a replacement filler. The second one has had no issue. My advice to you: don't just consider looks when buying a tub filler. This one needs some functional design improvements.

This tub filler is beautiful. We had a stand alone tub installed in the master bath of our brand new home and it was gorgeous. Unfortunately, it splashes water all over the floor. There are no adjustments to try to fix the issue. Wish I had been able to check the reviews before the builder installed the tub filler
