oxygenics spa showerhead not for me

I've read a lot of good things about the oxygenics showerhead and decided to give it a try despite that I had no issues with my stock unit. So I installed it and right off the bat I noticed that the hose was very stiff and the showerhead stuck out about 6 inches further from the wall. My shower stall is small enough that this was disappointing.

The water flow was stronger and like a massage spray pattern vs a gentle rain flow that I got from the old unit. So did I want more overspray in my small shower compartment?

Was going to give it a try anyway on our next trip. Then I decided to see how much water it saved. So I took a large bucket and measured and marked one gallon on the bucket. To my surprise the oxygenics filled the gallon mark at 30 seconds. Installed my old showerhead and it filled to the gallon mark at just over one minute.

Now I'm sure this unit fills the bill for a lot of campers but not for me. So I put back the old stock unit, bracket, hose and showerhead.

I like the pressure and spray pattern of my stock unit better and that I used half as much water per minute.

I really applaud you for actually testing the thing out. Too often products, especially for the RV world, are flogged with very dubious claims. And it seems that normally smart folks that would be skeptical of product claims in any other area of their life suddenly become "zombies" when it comes to Rv products and buy tons of needless stuff...

Glad you did this and glad you posted it.

This is the kind of testing that MH and Trailer Life magazines should be doing. Unfortunately they are too much the creatures of the aftermarket industry.
