identify/locate this shower head

Fonzie | Posted in General Discussion on February 18, 2007 06:52am

Does anybody recognize this shower head and where to buy it? It was in a recently remodeled Best Western I stayed in last week. They didn’t know where it came from at the desk. I was impressed with how good it was and how little water it used (evidenced by water level in the tub).

The shower faucet had JPI on it. My google search struck out.

    What was the problem?
    You did not have a wrench?

      man ...

       

      U guys are sick.

       

      thinking like me right off the bat!

      I feel for ya ...

       

      as it is ... my wife laughs at me each time I take apart a hotel room shower head, clean it out ... sometimes maybe forget to put the flow restrictor back in ... then reassemble.

      seems more than half the places we end up staying for more than an overnite have a weak flowing head ... drives me nuts ... so I make our stay more comfy.

      she laughs ... but she also points out when she's had the first shower and the shower just trickles out ....

    Looks like a Oxygenics, did it mix in a lot of air to make the shower spray force seem harder?

     

    Go to http://www.hdsupply.com and type in Oxygenics in the search box. HD Supply carries a lot of stuff for the hotel industry.

    OR you can also see more models at the Oxygenics website.

    If you are going to buy one, get it at HD Supply they have the best prices and you can order it and have it delivered at your local Home Depot store to save on the shipping.

      That's it for sure!(as for the other advice - ha ha - yeah I wonder what kind of shower head is in the jail) You know Kgmz, it is hard to describe what this shower head does with the water. I don't want to over bill it, but I was pretty impressed. My wife didn't like it - she said it "throws" the water at you. I think there is air mixed - it's different. I have used the pulse showers before but I thought this was simpler and better.Thanks for the link.

        For the record:
        The most commonly used shower head in Jail is the Sloan AC-450:http://www.plumbersurplus.com/Prod/Sloan-AC-450-Act-o-matic-Shower-Head/54764/Cat/855just in case you needed to know.......

          rarely stolen I bet....

        2. JTC1 | Feb 20, 2007 02:31am | #10

          Yup, looks like a good choice - short and rounded to avoid someone hanging him/her self from it and comes complete with vandal resistant screws!

          I won't ask how you know these things, I'll just assume professional experience.

          'Course wasn't Frank Rizzo the Chief of Police in Philadelphia before being Mayor?  Son is a lawyer - he'd probably know too......see things on those Round House client visits.

      If I did this right I found a looped inside video of how this thing works. http://nrgsavers.com/bodyspa.htm Also, if you google "promotion code oxygenics" there's a guy that claims you can get a free one for entering "wet 1" when ordering. Maybe it was just a one-day promo?http://forums.dealofday.com/showthread.php?t=150404
