Topic: Which showerhead? Posted: 11 Mar 2018 at 8:55pm |
Does anybody have a showerhead they're happy with? I heard oxygenics Niagara was good, but has mixed reviews. It claims to use less water, but more pressure. But I don't know if it's small enough for my 171. Any suggestions? I havn't even used the factory one yet.
Would also appreciate any thoughts on a faucet water aerator.. |

We replaced the stock shower head with this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N9O6DUX/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It works just fine. It's easy to turn off and on, has a metal wrapped hose which is more flexible and durable. The spray and the pressure are adequate. And it wasn't very expensive.

We had the Oxy Body Spa in the Pod, loved it.. except for the head design, sort of took up a lot of the room where a 6 foot plus persons head goes.. some have addressed this by moving the mount to the outside wall, even with or just past the toilet..
In the new camper we put in the Oxy Fury.. It's at least as good as the Body Spa, without the head sticking into the shower area so far.. She likes it very much, which, as you know, is the goal. |

We also went with the Oxygenics body Spa ETL 26781. However, I did not like the hose that came with it. I went to Home Depot (or it might have been Lowe's) and bought a metal wrapped hose that was more flexible than the plastic hose. It works well. I did find that with the pressure reducer and filter on the city water line, it was a little weak. Using the pump to add pressure makes it work much better. I probably need to get a better pressure reducer than the inexpensive Camco one I have.
I did not move the mounting to the corner, but I do turn the head to be closer to the wall when I am not using it. |

Agree, the Oxygenics are the best. They really do conserve water while increasing the force not decreasing it. We even kept the stock shower head and will be putting it back on and taking the Oxy with us when we get a new RV.

We don't have enough storage space as it is. We won't hang on to the old one. If we trade our R-Pod for something else, I will likely get another one unless something even better comes out. We use the Oxygenics Body Spa showerhead at home also, although the cut-off has a different design (twist instead of pushbutton).

That's the exact setup we have. The shower head is nice, but the included hose not so much. A super flexible metal wrapped hose was the ticket. We bought our hose at Lowe's. |

Like the fury! Being a tall guy it may be whatI get! Looking at only the picture of it, Looks like the on/off is up by the head. I think I'm seeing the on/off low on the handle on the Spa. And I have to ask: What the heck is this Smart Pause? |

"Smart Pause" does not completely shut the water off, but trickles it so that when you turn it back on, it is close to the same temperature. At least, that is the theory. In practice, one still needs to be careful when cutting it back on full as the temperature will change and one could get scalded or frozen.
