If the back side of your external shower is unaccessable and in a cold space as mine is.. don't forget to figure out a way to drain it in cold weather.. I didn't and it froze breaking the fixture.. I have no idea why the low point drain wouldn't empty it even with the hose removed but it didn't..I think there is some type of check valve in the fixture?? Now I don't use it at all..
I think you have to open the valves (hot and cold) for the water to drain out. Even if you take the hose off, water stays in there unless you open the valves. That's the way mine works anyway.
I just did the same install with the external shower and love it for the kids.
