Real simple, everything unscrews, I got the oxgenics from Camping world, I just put it on 2 weeks ago and have not had a chance to try it, several people on this post claim it gives better pressure and uses less water, fairly inexpensive and easy to install, I also ordered the chrome wall mount and was able to use one exsisting hole and cover the other with the new wall mount. very pretty shower head.

Many of us have replaced the R-Pod shower head and hose with the Oxygenics shower head, and count it as one of the best mods in our pods.  The Oxygenics shower head has a great spray even with low pressure.   It's very easy to swap both the shower head and the hose - you just unscrew the one that came with the R-Pod and screw the Oxygenics one in.  It comes in white or chrome. You can get it from Camping World or from Amazon.

The Oxygenics shower head is great. Before you replace it, though, try removing the flow restrictor where the hose connects to the knob assembly. As you might guess from this picture and this picture, the increase in water pressure will be substantial.

+1 for the Oxygenics shower head - its fantastic.  It has a variable flow control which helps to significantly cut down on the amount of water used in the shower.

This sounds like a great idea, I am going to order one now, does the current bracket hold the new head or do you have to switch that out also?

It comes with a new bracket to hold the head.  I just replaced mine when I got the shower head.  It looks better too.  As far as the little Oring that holds the hose:  I left the old tan one on the wall.
