Oxygenics shower upgrade

[mbrule]

Hi all, I need some help installing my Oxygenics shower head.

I have this a shut off valve like this"

And this shower wand"

(Sorry, don't know how to make links) The shower wand will attach directly to my faucet, or will attach with it's adapter. The valve appears to be pipe thread? I was hoping I could screw the valve to the faucet and the new shower to the valve, doesn't appear so. Can some of you that have installed an Oxygenics shower offer me advice??

Thanks!

This past weekend we had no hookups for 4 days. We were able to have showers and used very little water. Really felt great.

Got to try mine this past weekend.

I am a believer!!!! We loved it.

At the recommendation of some F/T RVing friends first thing we upgraded on our newly purchased/used TT was the shower head.

WOW... what a difference that Oxygenic shower head made! We used our shower, but it was pretty lame. Now.. it's a REAL SHOWER and using very little water. I love that it trickles a little water to keep lathering up the soap without having to turn it on full force.

Ours is the handheld version.

GREAT INVESTMENT!!

I got one too....works great.

Got it installed, no leaks.

Going camping tomorrow, can't wait to try it out!

just bought one of the new versions.....i've been on the fence about this mod for 5 years with 2 campers. looking forward to getting this bad boy installed!

This is the valve I bought for the Oxygenics shower head. It controls the flow at any rate and it does shut off fully. It is easy to operate with soapy hands. The DW loves it.

You might check with the manufacturer, the shut off that came with mine just screwed on the end of the shower head so you may be able to get one.

Just my luck, they come out with one with a shut off, right after I buy one!!

Yep right here New One Just changed mine out works great, still dribbles a bit but way easier to use.

I installed a shutoff at the showerhead.
The wall mounted holder was too low for my 6 ft frame and the fitting added a couple of inches in height thus making it far easier to shower without having to stoop to rinse the head.

THANKS GUYS,

Insatlled the valve on the faucet on the faucet as pictured above (except up). Seems like it might seal OK, may need to be tighter, but did not know if I could get another turn. Of course now I can't test it as I am waiting for the water to drain from a tank flush (just unwinterized, not getting out enough this year!).

Plus I have my pump disconnected installing an expansion tank. Have to test the shower another day. I am however on the net with my newly istalled Jefa repeater. I owe you guys a thread showing all the mods I have done recently, most learned from this forum!!!

Thanks!

Depends on how far you push the valve. It will shut it completely off, but I usually let it drip a little to keep it from going to COLD when I turn it back to full again.

I have the push button one mounted at the water control like Iamichabod's picture above only mine points upward. It does not completely shut off the water but allows a rapid drip.

My trailer does not have a tub but only a shower so there is no faucet to contend with. Perhaps that is why it is possible to mount it there.
If you have a faucet, you might try turning it to see if it will unscrew to remove.
