Oxygenics shower heads come with what they call a "Smart Pulse" cut off valve. it allows a small "Dribble" of water when in the cut off position.. Seems to prevent this blast issue.. THe shower Cut Off Valve I have also does the same thing.. Exactly. with the same result (it was sold as a shower cut off valve.. The old valve was a quarter turn valve that fully shut off the flow. And I had the blast issue when restored. But the dribble valve does not.. I'm thinking the smallest drill bit you got through the ball of the valve might fix it. I mean the smallest (i'm an electronics tec so my smallest is ... SMALL )

What's happening when the shower head valve is shut off is the cold water is pushing the hot water back in the line so when the valve opens you get a cold blast first. I installed check valves on our shower hot and cold lines at the faucet inlets to prevent the back feeding when the shower head valve is shut off. Problem solved...
AWESOME I'm going to look into this.
I use SeaTech check valves, but SharkBite, etc., probably have them as well.

We have the opposite situation. It blasts out scalding hot when turning the shower head valve back on...ouch...stand back...
Same problem, same fix. Add a check valve at the cold water inlet to the faucet per my previous post.

Ours does that too unless ------ start out with the hot water faucet turned all the way on - let the water get HOT, then slowly add cold into it until you have the right temp. We were turning both hot and cold on about half-way like we would in the house and that didn't work. Try this and see if it helps.
This is usually the way I turn it on but I'll check to make sure.

Supposedly that's what the center hole continuing to shoot water out of when you use the water saver shutoff on the Oxygenics shower head prevents. By have a small continuous water flow, the temperature stays the same.
I'm going to check this out.
thanks Jay D.

Doing navy showers, I set the taps and turn on the shower away from me then use it when the temp is right. Shut off and turn on, no problem, aim it away until it is safe to aim it at yourself (or anybody with you 🙂 ).

If your's is the original shower head that came with your camper, then "yes", that is just the way it is. You can always replace the shower head, even those on the end of a hose with any household conventional shower head or shower hose with head. The pipe threading is 1/2 inch, same as any household shower head or hand held shower wand.
You could even attach one of these and then you'd never have to worry about cold first, then warm....
the garden hose nozzle would be different but i'm not sure the nozzle is the problem.? see above post
