I bought an Oxygenics shower head thinking I could just attach it to my existing fixture. But it turns out my 30-year-old Allegro has kind of a unique set up. Is there some sort of adapter I can get o...

The oxy hose is too stiff. I'll see what I can get at Lowe's.
Lowe's sold me a 1/2" to 3/8" reducer bushing, but it leaks. I'll dry to seal it up with some more teflon tape. The real problem is that the low-volume shower head now creates more pressure than the original design had intended. The diverter valve and the seal on the pipe at the valve both leak. I may have to replace the whole fixture.
But - the shower head is impressive. Somehow it creates more pressure with my water pump than with my city hook up.
Also, because the wheel well interferes with the shower so there's a "step" at the back of the shower, but the shower head is on the side opposite the step. This puts the shower head pretty much directly in your face. I can now mount the shower head on the other side due to the length of the hose, and the "step" gives you some distance from it. It's much better this way.
