    Nah, just replace one of the heads. At least based on my experience.

    My house came with a shower that’s not the same as this, but similarly themed. There is one showerhead where you’d expect one in a standard shower, then four on the front wall. It’s not a surrounding experience like in the post but, again, a similar theme.

    When I bought the house it just had a fixed outlet for each one. I share the apparently common opinion that that’s unacceptable - if you are able you should give yourself a handheld shower head. Admittedly the handle that controls the four wall heads I mentioned hasn’t been connected at least since I bought the place, but the shower head I replaced just required unscrewing the old one and putting a new one in.

    The control system in the one in the photo looks to be a bit more … Digital, but at least the pipe hookups are probably separated.
