I have purchased 2 of the shower cartridges so far and I have to say they are super cheap compared to the hardware I usually go to. However, I did find out that there are 2 versions of this cartridge, which the other one is usually priced around $50-60. I have no idea what the difference are between the 2 but I definitely noticed the more expensive one is significantly easier to install. Regardless, my client was okay with using the cheaper model but again, I was significantly more difficult to remove and install.
