It's Official. Oxygenics RV BodySpa will be standard on 2018 Models.
Everybody seemed to be doing it...figured I'd take the plunge (no intended)

Hmmm interesting, what's the hub ub all about? I for one have never been disappointed in the shower head in our 2016. Hell I think I've got better pressure out of that thing than at home!
That said, if you're revising I'd highly suggest a different handle on the shower. Something that doesn't stick out to be mistakenly bumped all the way to hot/cold by unsuspecting shower goers

Nice! Most people I know upgraded to them, almost immediately anyway. They make a huge difference!

I second that! Holy crap balls does that get you. Depending on the direction it gets bumped, you either steam or freeze. Even when you barely accidentally bump into it and it doesn't move, you still cringe and grab the handle like a live grenade is about to detonate.

Hey, Brian... how about giving me one of these units to try out in my Wildcat?
Just thought I'd ask!

Sorry, just missed the boat on that one, because I did give one out to test. I tried one at home and noticed zero difference...but thats because I was getting residential pressure and unlimited water. In fact, I liked our normal one better.
The difference came, when I gave one to a current Dynamax customer to try out. He said (or his wife said) it made a world of difference. On lower pressure or on the water pump, she was actually able to rinse much quicker than before. That is where the Oxygenics shines...at lower pressures it is just as good as it is at higher pressures and its still choking that down to no more than 2gpm.

What you saw was a "what's new" for 2017 model year...or "what's new for Fall Show" which is a mid-model year sheet we do internally for dealers at our wholesale show.
We have not done a what's new for 2018 as they have been small, incremental changes that got covered in both of those and small things like the Oxygenics and it will get reflected in the 2018 brochure.
As for the engine...no. It is a 8.9L but Cummins calls it an ISL9. NOT to be confused with the actual liters which is 8.9. Its a branding thing by them.

Does the Oxygenics RV BodySpa have smaller orifices which sprays the water harder and less of it which has a more steady spray pattern of water instead of the water simply gravity falling out of the existing OEM shower head? Does it use more or less water than the OEM? Thanks.

I have a 2017 Isata 5. What is the model number for the sprayer? On Amazon there are a lot of models under that name.
Thanks.

On both my previous motorhomes they had an additional valve right at the shower head so once you get the temp right you don't need to mess with it again. That seems like a simple fix.

I and the Witch Doctor did a Test at his Campground between the "Oxygenics and Standard RV Shower Head"! City water supply and Timed Run into a see-through vessel for 2 minutes each! Results were the "Oxygenics" used MORE water than the Standard RV head! I posted the results with Pics. a year ago! I still use the "Oxygenics" in our RV as well as Home,it is a Nice shower head! Youroo!!

Yes! I found some YouTube videos testing with the same results. It wasn't like 2 gallons more, but like 1-2 cups.

This is one of the better images. Let's air into the stream before the nozzle. Aerates the water.

You can also go here...
» Our Story Oxygenics
In my mind...its not as much about the water savings as the results of a low flow. Many are 2.5gpm. The Oxygenics is 2gpm. With I think some at 1.5. But at low pressure most of thing are crappy.
As for the model....all I know is it is call the BodySpa RV. White, chrome and nickel

I must have been on something when I posted #17. That reads like it was texted by a 12 year old, on a flip phone while riding a roller coaster.
