Self PRESSURIZING Oxygenics shower head - any good?

I do not think there is any difference other than the push button shut off that newer models have.

"Self pressurizing" may be a smaller tip orafice, restricted fo build up what feels like more pressure yet may be umcomfortable on sensitive skin. It may even damage skin that is ultra sensitive....dibetics or children. Try it but make sure the store you buy at has a good return policy!

bought ours last summer and love it.

We have a Oxygenic and like it. As for water pressure, we handle that by using a whole house water pressure regulator. Same as those used on S&B with just the addition of hose connections.
Why? Well they will give a much better flow under any pressure. It is flow that gives you the nice shower, not pressure. A house regulator will flow 6 to 9 GPM. The standard RV regulator will flow 2 to 3 GPM.
Got this from a plumber and saw confirmation at www.rvwaterfilterstore.com. Have great showers!

I am happy with what I have but curious why it turns ice cold when you pause the shower for ten seconds.

Ours turns cold for a sec when you shut it off and back on.

We switched out the shower head that came in the Class C with the same one you mentioned above. Our TT had twice the size gray tank than our Class C, yet we are able to go longer in the motorhome with this shower head without filling up the gray tank than we could in the TT. Of course we do a little better in conserving. In the TT with a 65 gallon gray tank, we would be full after about a day and a half. In the motorhome with a 30 gallon gray tank, we can now go all weekend. Basically a little conserving and with the oxygenics, we can go twice as long with half the size of a gray tank. Who would of thought?

Now that is really strange, Pool and TPUC you both say that your showers get cold when shut off? Mine will melt skin after you pause it. I guess that is just the nature of some of these beast.

Mine gets hot when you shut it off. Has something to do with the plumbing configuration.

I called Oxygenics... and they said the design of the shower nozzle has not changed in the past few years. Just the wording has changed.
So the shower nozzle I have on board is the same design except the newer ones have the push shut off valve and mine has the twist shut off. (The push shut off is SO MUCH BETTER.) So that answers my question on the "pressurized" nozzle.

I hunted through the site and eventually got to it. Boost water pressure in the RV with this.

They talk about reverse osmosis machines needing the right water pressure to work... we have a Tyent Ionizer and had to boost the water pressure to get the water to flow through at a workable rate. (installed a small pressure tank for it, too). Managed to get it all to fit under the kitchen sink in a Winnebago Adventurer. Talk about being creative.

Why in the heck don't the manufacturers make these pressure tanks/regulators/boosters STANDARD EQUIPMENT items on every rig??? It would eliminate so many problems.

JMHO: Everyone should be filtering their incoming water - first sediment and then a standard cheap filter... and then the drinking water should be filtered to the highest level you can afford. (From basic Pur water filters to a TYENT Ionizer system)

Thanks everyone.
