check valve
I installed one of these in my last rv and no noticeable reduction in pressure. (1/2 inch pvc one),I don't know if the oxygenics head by itself will solve the issue but it is a great investment in any case.

I have been thinking of installing check valves but I have read that check valves reduce the flow.

Would someone who has installed check valves that don't reduce the flow post a link to the valve. Thanks.

Thanks YC 1, I have an Oxygenics head but the flow valve, that I didn't like anyway, broke and I replaced it with a valve that shuts the flow off. Next time I'm at HD I'll get a couple.

Funny you mentioned the valve breaking. I was reading reviews on Amazon and many folks mentioned that Oxygenics replaced the old style shut off valve with a more robust version and that is doesn't break and also works better. All that said, I don't know for sure if that is the case as I don't own one yet. I'll let ya know.

Also, it seems the valve on the Oxygenics isn't designed to stop the flow entirely but rather slow it to a trickle. They say that trickle is what keeps the water from getting too hot or cold when you open the valve again. ?
