| What is the Oxijet™? | The Felton Oxijet™ is a water saving shower attachment that changes the characteristics of your shower when compared to traditional flow restrictors. While saving water, it gives a luxurious showering experience. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| How does it work? | The Oxijet™ utilise the venturi effect, jetting the water through 4 micro nozzles. This increases the water speed dragging air through the coloured baffles. This air volumizes the water stream, forming small bubbles that burst when they touch your skin. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Will it work for me/Installation requirements? |
If you have mains pressure (over 300 kPa/3 Bar), and a non-restrictive handpiece/fixed rose, the Oxijet™ should work for you.The Oxijet™ will NOT work if you have any of the following:
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| What is it made from? | It is made from DR Brass, which is machined, and then chrome plated. The baffles are made from silicon rubber. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| What is a restrictive handpiece/fixed rose? | A restrictive handpiece/fixed rose is one that has a flow restrictor or flow saving device fitted to it that can't be removed.Some handpieces and fixed roses have flow restrictors which can be removed. These will work with the Oxijet™, but the restrictors must be removed first. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Troubleshooting | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Water out the air intake |
If your Oxijet™ is installed so that waterflow follows the direction of the arrow and yet water is leaking out the baffles there are two potential causes:
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
This is normal, and is part of the self-draining function of the Oxijet™. A common observation is that when showers are turned off, water left in the rose/handpiece may drip for some minutes before draining. A handpiece/rose fitted with an Oxijet™ will drain almost immediately. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
This is normal. Small droplets of water may escape due to the turbulence created by the jets within the Oxijet™. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Oxijet™ is noisy |
This is normal. While the baffles reduce the noise of the air entering the stream, the noise of air exiting your handpiece or rose is not preventable, and is simply a sign that the Oxijet™ is performing well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
If the flow through the Oxijet™ is too low to provide an adequate shower, there are three potential causes:
1. You may not have mains pressure, and your pressures are most likely below 300kPa, and therefore the Oxijet™ is not suitable. 2. You may have a flow restrictor somewhere in the system. For a fixed rose, please check within the stem. For a handpiece, at both ends of the hose (including the wall elbow). 3. If neither of the previous situations apply to you, it is most likely that you have a restrictive handpiece, and therefore the Oxijet™ is not suitable for use. |

|
The flow resistance through the Oxijet™ will create extra pressure within your shower hose. We recommend only EN1113 rated shower hoses are suitable for use with Oxijet™. There are some shower hoses supplied into the Australian market that do not meet this quality standard, and these may leak under increased pressure. Replace with a standard approved hose.
