I installed one this summer and do like it. The problem I have is when I shut it off and it goes to trickle the water goes cold. I played with different settings of the hot/cold volume but it still goes cold. When I reopen the shut off valve it goes to the setting where the temp. was set. Any ideas?

My first one I had did that in my last coach. This time I replaced the shut-off valve. Here's what happens - most people run full cold and add hot water to the mix for the "right" temperature. When the shut-off valve allows a small amount of water to flow (drips) the hot to cold water ratio changes. The hose fills with cold water. Once you open the valve and the cold water exits the hose and you're back to the original hot/cold mix.
To me, the leaky shut-off on the Oxygenics defeats the purpose of having a shut-off that allows you to stop the water momentarily and turn it back on without adjusting the hot/cold mixture. When I bought the new head in Quartzsite the vendor was well aware of the problem and replacement screw-on shut-off valves on hand.
