Many who have installed an Oxygenics shower head in their RV rave about the difference in water pressure (especially while on the water pump), while at the same time using less water -- something especially important while boondocking, or with a limited grey water capacity. We decided to check out the difference for ourselves, and share the results in today's video on Grand Adventure:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5murLVAGYMAnd FYI we have no association whatsoever with Oxygenics -- we weren't provided a test unit, we went out and bought it ourselves. But we're now a huge fan.Moderator edit to re-size image to forum limit of 640px maximum width.

My wife has a laundry list of things she doesn't like about RVing. The shower was one of them. The Oxygenics shower head crossed that one off the list. :)

And I emphasize here as I did in the video -- we had no financial incentive from anyone, nor did we owe anyone anything by making the vid. We bought one, we were amazed at the difference, and wanted to share.

"Upgrade" is a matter of personal opinion. I installed an Oxygenics in our own trailer but my wife didn't care for it at all so I reinstalled the original, stock shower head and sold the Oxy.

"rave about the difference in water pressure"It does NOT change water pressure.

Oxygenics are popular RV shower heads - we put one one in our stick house because we like the height and Portland has some of the highest water rates in the country.

Hey FirstTracks, absolutely first rate video. Enjoyed it.
We, by the way, have an oxygenics shower head in the TC and for the most part, like it very much. The "perceived" water pressure increase is so much better than the original head.
However, having said that, that little shut-off button does nothing to prevent that dreaded blast of cold when turned back on, at least not on mine. Still love the shower head tho.

We have the Oxygenics and it works best on city water hook up. On the pump, it's an improvement but if you have the power of city water it really shines. But then, most shower heads work fine on city water.

we used one for several years but as I got older and older my skin got so it was taking a heck of a beating, so we went to a rain shower head. I'm not pinned to the shower wall any more.

Appreciate it! Maybe monkey around a bit with that button? Mine does what's intended.
