I bought this item not because I wanted to save water, but because my house has pretty low pressure to begin with and I prefer to have high-pressure showers. It did the trick! It is very powerful and both my wife & I think it is a huge improvement over our previous showerhead. I do have to admit that it is a little odd though, because as you are getting a shower, your head thinks you are getting drenched, but the amount of water that is hitting you is actually pretty low. For instance, it takes longer to get a washcloth wet, even though it feels like it shouldn't. I know I'm not making much sense, but it's a difficult phenomenon to describe! All in all, this is much better than what I thought it was going to be and a wise purchase for us. The only thing that I'm concerned about is that we have hard water and that the oxygenating holes might fill with residue left from the water.

Oxygenics SkinCare Showerhead, Chrome #60120

I love a shower head that puts out a strong spray and have tried several different types, but have found none I like better than these. We have them in our home (where we have good water pressure and city water) and in our lake cottage (where we have weak water pressure and are on a well), and they work great in both situations. I even take one with me when we go to Florida and stay in a rented condo for a couple of months in the winter. Our son visited, and loved it so much that he now has one, and we have had other guests as well who have done the same thing. If you love a good strong, but comfortable, shower, no matter what your water pressure situation is, this is a great product.

I have only found three popular low GPM showerheads - the Delta Water Amplifying, The Oxygenics, and the WaterPik EcoFlow. I have not tried the Ecoflow yet so I can only discuss the Delta vs the Oxygenics. Purchased this Oxygenics showerhead along with a Delta Water Amplifying low GPM showerhead. This showerhead is not bad but has some drawbacks. Comparing this to the Delta showerhead I would have to say overall I liked the Oxygenics a bit better. While the Delta head is much quieter than the Oxygenics (since the oxygenics uses air to create the feeling of pressure spray), the Oxygenics "seems" to produce more water and can rinse off quicker. The Delta has a buzzing sound to it, which while subtle, somewhat bugs me - the Oxygenics is very loud (so much so the wife was worried about damaging her hearing). While both the Oxygenics and the Delta water dropets sting a bit, the Delta droplets seem to sting a bit more (not sure why) but the Oxygenics seems to have a stronger stream. The Delta showerhead seems to take longer to rinse off soap and shampoo thereby eliminating any low GPM savings with longer showers. The Delta is a bit more "drippy" water while on the body while the Oxygenics is more "misty". My wife complained about both being far too "misty" further away from the showerhead (shorer than me) and unsatisfying (even with the water savings) harder to rinse and colder since water cools by the time ti gets there. The Delta spray seems to be very wide near the bottom so when warming up the shower, I need to close the shower door or I have a water puddle on my floor. No real massage effect with either showerhead (unless you consider prickly stingy water bits a massage - more like getting sandblasted). So, all in all, not very satisfying and I will continue to look for better options. I have seen the larger (four hole) version of the Delta showerhead (which got good reviews) but not sure if the buzzing or "misty" factors would be worse with the larger unit. If you can overlook the noise (and are relatively close to the showerhead as to avoid the mist factor) then the Oxygenics will probably be great but if you have multiple people using the shower, then you might be out of luck here.

I have really low water pressure and this helped to increase the pressure which was great. But my tile doesn't go to the ceiling, it goes about 18 inches below ceiling and I found water was hitting above the tile which it didn't with my old shower head. So be prepared to have the spray going all over the place which will eventually damage the sheet rock. If you have tile all the way up, you should be fine. I also find have to turn up the water temperature higher than before to get the same warmth, probably since there's less water flowing and being mixed with air.

If you have low water pressure in your home, this is what you need. It turns a dribble of water into a power washer. I've had one for about 7 years. Looks nice and is easy to adjust.

There are about two thousand showerheads out there on Amazon, and while I can't speak for all of them, I can say this is the best one I've ever used, by far. I live up on a hill and the water pressure is terrible, but this showerhead greatly boosts the amount of pressure I feel, without losing the size of the stream. I'm not sure how the physics of this works; I just know it makes for a great shower, and what is it- thirty dollars? Something like that. If you have a wimpy showerhead get one of these and give it a try. I even bought one for a friend- these are one of the few "gadgets" that I've ever purchased that lived up to it's promise. Excellent product.

This is a great product that produces a great amount of water pressure, even from low flow piping. However, the actual volume of water does not increase, all that this head does is push the water out harder and with more spray. I don't even know if what I just typed made any sense, but for $30 this is a great purchase.

I think the product is excellent. It is my second. The first one became someswhat clogged up on account of hard water in the wells here.

I am not sure if it's the sound of the injected air into the water stream or just the consistent even spray, but after experiencing this shower head at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, I just had to have one! I could stay in my shower all day long if I could! What I did do is extend my connection from the wall to ensure that the head was about 6 inches above my head - just like at the MGM Grand. And it only used 2.4 GPM to boot! Next step - do the rest of the shower head in my home...

Without A Doubt, this is the beset ShowerHead I have had in my home. Like others, I have a bathroom with low water pressure in the shower enclosure. On a very recent trip to Las Vegas, I was in 2 different hotels that had the Oxygenics shower head. I fell in love, captured the name, and immediately went to Amazon to find. After reading other reviews, I considered the Delta, but opted for this ShowerHead. My only concern will be what happens over the long term due to the terrribly hard water in my area. It will be interesting to see how gunked up it gets, and can be cleaned.
