With the oxygenics shower head I could use most of that amount just adjusting the water temperature. I suppose that you could, but you don't need to. I don't know of any device that will give you much of a shower with as little as 1 gallon of water. We traveled for many years with a pop-up that had a 15-gallon water tank and stayed in national forest campgrounds which often didn't have water and we had 3 boys. We were able to do so for 3 or 4 days but nobody took a shower, only what we called as "spit bath." But we don't care to do that anymore and we use the Oxygenics and we love it for the quality of shower with low water volume. 20 hours ago, JimK said: I usually take 5 minutes or so for a Navy type shower. As a former submariner where shower water was extremely limited, I have grave doubts that there is a 5-minute shower requiring only 1 gallon of water. You may well stand in the shower and wash for 5 minutes, but that shower must not be running the entire time. I'd need to see a timed test of a shower head into a bucket to buy one.

DuneElliot Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 It takes me about 15 seconds to get hot water to the shower head AND to adjust it to the right temperature...knowing where you usually set the knobs makes it a no-brainer and saves water! 2007 Keystone Springdale 245 FWRLL-S (modified) 2000 F-250 7.3L SRW Cody and Kye, border collie extraordinaires Latest departure date: 10/1/2017 Find us at www.nomadicpawprints.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the oxygenics shower head I could use most of that amount just adjusting the water temperature. In my van, I had a 2.5 gallon electric water heater. Ten minutes before I wanted to shower I would throw the breaker to heat the water then turn it off when my timer rang. That made my water perfect temperature so I never added cold. Just turn on the hot water long enough to get wet, turn it off to wash, turn it back on to rinse. Done. I don't know how much water I actually used but I never ran out of heated water while taking a shower. Everyone's priorities are different. You do what works for you.

Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 We used an Oxygenics for 4 years in our other 5th wheel. It worked well and as advertised. We did a flow test and it was what the advertising said surprisingly because we had 65psi water pressure at that park. Alie did remove it once a year from the hose and soaked it in white vinegar to remove any built-up mineral deposits. Our current DRV has more of a Rain style shower head that is efficient, just not as forceful.

We put an Oxygenics Body Spa shower head in ours and we love it. I find that particular shower head is rapidly becoming the most popular replacement items in the RV community. I know of only one RV manufacturer who installs them at the factory, probably because the cost more than the cheapies found in most of our rigs. Yeah Kirk. Everybody loves them. Except me. Personally, just a bunch of hype. Over-priced and not really any better than the cheapie that came with my RV. I'm seriously considering putting the old one back on. 2015 Forest River Rockwood Signature Series Ultra Lite 8289WS w/ Diamond Pkg. 2014 RAM CTD 6.7 Tradesman 4WD Crew Cab Long Bed 😀 Honda eu2200i generators Daisy May, the Golden Doodle Wonderdog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowolter Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 We replaced the original showerhead with Oxygenics Body Spa head. The Body Spa head is definitely an improvement over the original shower head - BUT, I'm not thrilled with how narrow the spray pattern is. I'm now starting to see other Oxygenics shower heads out there that can be adjusted to provide a narrow spray pattern or a larger spray pattern - such as the Thunderhead High Pressure Rain.

PEX is sized as "CTS" (Copper Tubing Size). 1/2" PEX has the same 0.625" OD as 1/2" copper tubing, but 1/2" copper tubing has a 0.527" ID, while PEX has a slightly smaller 0.485" ID. Many newer homes are plumbed with PEX, so there's no difference there of course. And some are plumbed with 1/2" PVC/CPVC tubing that has a 0.622" ID with a slightly higher flow.

Also, an RV has a city water fitting that is restrictive due to it's configuration and the addition of a check-valve built into it and the water supply into most houses is 3/4" pipe while many RV hoses are only 1/2" and at most 5/8". Overall, RV water systems tend to be more flow restrictive in design than home systems and typically operate at lower supply pressures. Just saying smaller lines as I did is somewhat an oversimplification, but the point is that they do not supply as much water volume as the home versions.
