Recently installed the Oxygenics Shower Head from Camping World and the shut off that came with the unit constantly dribbled water when the valve is shut off. We solved this problem by installing a flow adjuster Lasco # 08-2469 ($5.29 at Ace Hardware) in place of the shut off valve provided and solved the dribbling shower head issue. We boon dock and could not see wasting water unnecessarily. Hope this helps those who want to eliminate the constant dribbling.

The cut-off is designed specifically to trickle water so you don't get a shock of too hot or too cold water. It may not be what you want, but that's why it does it.

I didn't put the shut off on mine when I installed it. With the gas/electric we can each get a good 12-15 minute shower with the water constantly flowing. Now, if I were to stay somewhere with no sewer connection I would have to use it to keep gray tank from filling

Exactly! Everywhere I read about the oxygenics shower head, always explained that it was designed to prevent the cold/hot blast by allowing a trickle when you hit the shut-off. Well, I really like the shower head, but always get hit with a blast of cold water when turning it back on...

Ours was cold with the trickle as well. I hated it. In our previous TT, the shower was so small and me being big (6'5"), I couldn't get away from the freezing trickle, so I had to drop the wand in the floor of the shower in between using it. On our new fiver, the stock shower head is nice, and the valve actually shuts the water off completely. If it has been more than a minute from using the head, I just aim it away for a second after turning it on to get warm water again, otherwise it works great.

Our new Oxy with control on handle goes cold at a trickle, I am wondering if it has something to do with anti scald valve in shower?

That is kooky, Brian. I like the trickle too, but mine stays warm.

X3, I like the built-in trickle.

You can find those half inch pipe thread shutoffs just about everywhere. Especially at home centers and hardware stores. :)

Mine broke too. That's why I bought a shutoff valve. While I was at it I bought a real shutoff valve, not one that dribbles.
