Tools and Hardware Reviews of Oxygenics 80227 TriSpa Handheld Shower, ChromeCustomer Review: Great product Summary: 5 Stars
My house was built in 1959 and suffered from relatively low water pressure. I replaced the standard shower fixtures with this unit and discovered that the air assisted blast mode is perfect for low water flow systems.
Basically, it uses the motive force of the streaming water to inject air back into the flow as it enters the shower head. This causes an increase in volume, and serves to conserve water while giving you the best water flow possible.
I am a 41 year old male, and this shower is shared by four women - my wife and three daughters. They all love it.
Interestingly enough, I recently had some plumbing work done and replaced the water line from the city meter to my house. It was an old galvanized line that was full of mineral deposits to the point where about 3/8" was all that was left for water to flow.
The end result is that I no longer have low water pressure. In fact, I think I need to slow it down at the entry to my house because I have had a few incidents around the house involving plumbing fixtures exposed to the increased pressure:
1. The mechanisms in my toilets have went nuts. They went from working fine to constantly running. I think the pressure increase shifted the balance point and now I have to tweak them all the time.
2. The hose that runs from the shower head to the wall recently sprang a leak, luckily I had bought two of these items to install in another shower (but did not yet) and had an extra hose on hand. I am now ordering a third one as a back up, so be aware there may be some issues with the hose - as sturdy as it seems.
That being said, this shower gets used at least four times a day by people ranging from 7 to 41. Its always getting dropped, and twisted and banged against something because my daughters are clumsy and my wife is not much better.
But all of that is simply my job - to keep the house running as it should. All they care about is how the shower performs, and they all love this particular shower head and that says a lot for them because the four of them can rarely ever agree on anything.
I have noticed that all four of us can take a decent shower with a lot of hot water (and the teenager always uses way too much time), and we have never came close to reaching the end of our 40 gallon water heater.
And so, with the increased pressure - it appears this shower head is saving us money by conserving water.
And I like that.
