oxygenics shower head

I just bought one of those oxygenic shower head for my tub in the rv and hooked it up and water came out of every thread.I got some of that white sealing tape for the treads and fixed it.It still sprays water out the back of the shower head where the hose enters the shower head.Anyone one had this problem and if so how did you fix it?

  • There should of been plumbers tape included with the packaging and that should of went on first. The way I read your posting is that you didn't put any on before hand. As far as it coming out the back, I guess take it back?

    Ours worked as supposed to from the get go.

    That's normal for Oxygenic. The water is supposed to drip 'slightly' in order to keep the temperature of the water without fluctuation when you turn it on and off during a shower as you would when boondocking. We postioned a container under the drip as a test and less than a cup of water was dripped during a shower - good enough for us as we boondock a lot.
    It doesn't drip it sprays out the back instead of at the nozzle like it should.It is where the hose enters the shower head.Actually the hose seems to move freely in and out of the back of the shower head and when you turn the water on it sprays out around the hose.

  • Sounds like the small rubber washer like the one in your garden hose is missing. Check your packaging for this washer. It ylh do not have the washer to to HD and pick one up. Good luck.
