Oxygenics Shower Head Shutoff

[4aSong]

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.

Siroflex plastic flow control valves (these are complete shut off) are available in Chrome or White....

Thanks for this. That would do the trick.

Just to figure out a shipping cost to Toronto, that will not have me take a 2nd mortgage :h

I just looked at Canadian Tire and found this. Looks like it woud do the job.

I didn't notice the Toronto location. Check the local Home Depot equivalent or Canadian Tire. Maybe they have something.

Mine didn't ship with a cutoff valve. Any ideas of what I could buy to provide that Navy shower feature?

Thanks.

I think I was the last guy to finally install a Oxygenics Body Spa Shower Head, version v2.11, adjuster twist valve in head (old style). We just did two showers in a row without running out of hot water. I was amazed that this was possible. I mean, we actually used the hot water and not a Navy shower!

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

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.

Thanks for posting this as I never knew that and I thought I was going to have to buy a new one.

Agreed. Also I like the trickle because it allows me to re-wet my hands as I soap up.

we did the same thing, we don't have much of a temp change.
