Can this be the only shower head or must you have a wall mounted one also?

Yes, this could be the only shower head. Take the existing shower head off and connect the hose.

Not sure. My shower is separate from the bath tub, so in my case it was shower only. It might depend on how your plumbing and pipes are configured.

It doesn't have a wall holder separate from the holder that is on the part that goes on the shower arm. You can buy a wall holder inexpensively that glues to the wall. No, it does not have a diverter, but I bought one for about $15 and hooked that up. I wrote an unfavorable review of this product, not sure if you saw it (from Andrew K.). I found the diverter on the handheld leaks and the shower head itself leaks and has only one setting.

yes. I purchase the same one every time I move. When I ask the employees at Home Depot/Menards which shower head is the best, this is always the one I am directed to.

Without the arm, the shower head will essentially be flush against the wall. If you want the "rain effect" you'll need the arm as it extends the shower head to be directly overhead. I bought one for my new apartment and it has been life changing. So I say go for it! Easy to set up and I'll be taking it with me to my next place.

I used this:Hansgrohe 04231000 S Thermostatic Trim With Volume Control And Diverter, as I have wall bar AND also a shower head (angle arm with shower head from the wall). You will not need a diverter if you only want a wall bar, which is good enough. You will also need the hose and outlet along with Ibox, if this is a completely new install. Hope this helps. We are enjoying the wall bar set. To keep it looking new, wipe off water after every use. Hope this helps.

No. It ships with the shower head only. I purchased separate arm extension ( from recommendations link) but that is made to connect to the short arm that comes out of the wall.

This is just a shower head. You need to buy your own shower arm. You can make it any height you like!

No. But you could just get a restrictor to install behind your existing shower head.

Probably the only short-coming of this showerhead.Don't get me wrong, we really like it, but the swivel is 'limited'. Enough for aiming for a typical shower stall or tub enclosure, but if you want to spray down the walls with it, that is not going to happen.

Yes! There's a 3 way switch. You can use one, the other, or both heads. It's a pretty good shower head and very easy to install.

I already had a wall mounted shower spa. I think you have to have something already in place to twist it on. This was just a replacement head for me.

This is a shower head and extension only. It just replaces your shower head. Your shower then works as always with the hot and cold fixtures as they are on your current shower.

If you don't have the hose you will need the hose. If you want a holder for it (so it can function as a regular shower head, mounted to wall) you will need the part to hold it. We had a hose from previous hose/handheld shower thing, but our holder was broken by kiddos trying to play with it. So we just ordered a holder piece.

The manual states, "Use only outdoors." That might be because, "the exhaust gas and top of the unit is HOT!" The exhaust fumes might be an issue. But, I think you could safely mount the unit outside and just run the hose that connects to the shower head through a window. I would personally be totally okay with and feel quite safe doing that. Hope that helps!

Yes - there is a valve at the base next to the wall that has 3 position - You can switch it from Shower head only to hand held only or both..

Yes you can. It has a knob on the side of the main shower head cross bar that allows you to turn it to just the main shower head, just the smaller hand-held, or to the combination of both the main head and the hand held simultaneously.
