How It
Works
The innovative
technology behind Oxygenics® is based on the Venturi Principle. As
water enters the base of the showerhead, it is propelled through an
accelerator fin to increase the velocity of the water flow. It is
then directed through a channel where air is injected into the
water. The result is phenomenal coverage and a continuous range of
sensations with the adjustment of the Comfort Control Lever - from a
soft relaxing spray to a deep, therapeutic massage to everything in
between.
- Delrin
- Delrin® is one of the key
components of Oxygenics® showerheads. It provides strength,
toughness and dimensional stability where needed. The
hardness and lubricity of Delrin® allows smooth movement for
angle adjustment and Comfort Lever control. Don't let
mineral deposits and hard water get the best of your
showerhead. The single orifice design of Oxygenics®
showerheads coupled with internal components made of
non-stick Delrin® provide complete protection against
"shower cloggers" and prevents mineral build-up. Oxygenics
showerheads are virtually maintenance free and come with a
Limited Lifetime "Never Clog" Performance Guarantee.
Technology
The
Oxygenics® SkinCare™ Series meets ANSI standard testing and
materials specifications A112.18.1M-1996. Designed to function
appropriately at pressures no less than 20 psi. Constructed to
withstand pressures of 150 psi and temperatures up to 160° F.
The
flow device is of a single orifice design. It is constructed of
injection molded Delrin® acetal. The device is machine pressed into
the spray nozzle and cannot be removed with a straight pushing or
pulling force of less than 100 lbs.
Equipped with a comfort control lever. The lever assembly glides on
“o” rings made from molded rubber. As a safety feature, when the
comfort control is turned to the lowest position, water will
continue to flow.
The
spray nozzle is constructed of Delrin® acetal resin. The nozzle uses
a venturi system consisting of 16 air entrance ports, which allow
air to increase the spray velocity. Oxygen levels in the water are
increased as well.
Outer
covering of the spray nozzle is made of plated ABS plastic,
enhancing the showerhead’s appearance and muffling the venturi
system. Utilizes a ball and socket base allowing for adjustment.
Ball is constructed with Delrin® acetal. The seating washer is
designed to seal around the ball swivel when compressed by assembly.
The base connector is made from free machining brass and CBA alloy.
The base fits any standard 1/2” male threaded shower arm.
Showerhead Performance
The US
Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1992 requires minimum
standards for the manufacture of showerheads. Showerheads must not
exceed 2.5 gallons per minute (gpm) at a water pressure of 80 pounds
per square inch (psi). Showerheads control the water flow through
it, not the water pressure. The higher the water pressure, the
greater the flow of water through the plumbing system.
Water
pressure is determined by the plumbing system and the delivery of
water from the municipal water distribution network or household
pumping system. In most municipal systems, water is pumped into
towers and the difference in height of the water tower and your home
creates water pressure through gravity. If you live in a high rise
apartment building, most likely there is a booster pump to deliver
water to the upper levels and keep plumbing pressures constant.
Homes with well water have storage tanks with air filled bladders
that exert force on the stored water to create water pressure for
the household plumbing system. Most household plumbing systems have
water pressures of 40 to 60 psi. If water pressure is too high, it
can cause damage to the plumbing and fixtures. If water pressure is
too low, there may not be a desirable flow rate.
Showerhead Installation
-
Remove existing showerhead from
existing shower arm. Unscrew by turning counterclockwise
-
Clean debris from the threads of the
existing shower arm.
-
Wrap threads of the shower arm with
pipe thread tape in a clockwise direction. Two complete
revolutions should be adequate.
-
Attach new showerhead to the
existing shower arm by turning the attachment nut in a clockwise
direction until tight.
