returning the Oxygenics shower head
After reading the post about the Oxygenics shower head, I had high hopes for it when I got us one before our last trip. The stock head can be useable with an extremely low flow that made the pump only...

The "Pencil Jet" is what happens when you don't have enough pressure on it. I understand the OP's opinion and if he is trying to take a shower under a dribble of water to save his water then he is right, this showerhead may not be right for him and an original would work better.
With enough pressure there is a more broad stream pattern, and it does seem to have even more pressure than most original heads built up off of that same amount of beginning pressure, but it does need to have enough of that beginning pressure to work right.
I love mine much better than the original but I am almost always connected with FHU so I'm not trying to conserve more water than this showerhead already does.
Very true and very good points!
A Pencil Jet is what we got too with our new Oxygenics head, so I installed a new high volume water pump in our rig. However, I didn't feel comfortable having to run the new shower head with the water valves on full power - with a new high volume pump too - just to get the water spray to seem/feel as widely dispersed as the old stock shower head did using the original low volume stock water pump and with the shower water valves only part way on like we did before. How could this new Oxygenics situation possibly be using less water? Short of "magic" ... very doubtful, IMHO.
We put the old stock shower head back on and keep the Oxygenics head the RV as an emergency spare shower head.
