March 23, 2022 - Another Replacement of Plastic Junk

Several years ago we bought a Oxygenics handheld shower head for the RV. We have had this shower head at home for years and love it because it mixes oxygen with the water to increase the pressure for showers. This shower head is not cheap - close to $50.00. Unfortunately pricey does not mean well-made with good materials. After just a couple of years of part-time use in the RV ours broke off where it is threaded into the shut-off valve. No fixing this.

I get so tired of items being plastic junk that we all pay good money for falling apart after just a few years. I looked at several other shower heads online and on Amazon, some cheaper and some about the same price. I found them all to be made of plastic so I decided to bite the bullet and order another Oxygenics. Here it is installed.

At least the new one comes with a built-in shut-off valve so an extra valve is not needed. We need a shut-off valve in the RV so we can take Navy showers due to limited hot and fresh water. 

Unfortunately, Oxygenics has cheapened up their shower kit. The new kit comes with a stiff, cheap, plastic hose the same as the $10.00 shower head variety. The old one had a nice, stainless steel hose so I re-used it.

Hopefully this replacement will last longer. I have now replaced the showerhead twice, and the bathroom faucet twice. I have also replaced the kitchen faucet, but only once so far. LOL.
