Soft Water Shower Head Offers RVers A Better Shower Experience

MotorHome Magazine reports on Ecocamel's latest model, the Orbit SoftWater shower head, that takes the showering experience to a whole new level. The soft water shower head is designed to increase the solubility of hard water by altering the crystal structure of calcium carbonate, which prevents hard scale deposits. Hard water is one of those pesky things that occur over time and most people do not realize the effects it can produce. The buildup of calcium and other minerals over a shorter-than-expected period of time clogs faucets, leaves unsightly — and almost impossible to remove — streaks on glass, and makes lathering up in the shower more difficult.
"Ecocamel, recognizing that dry, itchy skin and frizzy hair is no fun, has built a water softener feature into the handle of its Orbit SoftWater shower head," reported by Bob Livingston in MotorHome Magazine. From the outside, it’s hard to distinguish the difference between the Orbit with and without the soft-water feature. The SoftWater model is a little heavier, but that has very little impact during actual use. Ecocamel makes the Orbit SoftWater work by placing metals in the handle that cause an electro-chemical catalytic reaction, which neutralizes the calcium so it cannot form limescale. The configuration of the unique alloy increases water velocity and turbulence, preventing the minerals from building up. The hard minerals are removed from the solution, becoming insoluble crystals, which wash down the drain. The second part of the design increases the pressure through the jets in the ring at the end of the handle. This is the feature that has made the Ecocamel shower head so successful. Air is forced through the handle, spinning the water at high speed and building turbulence to create a dreamy stream of water. Flow is regulated to a maximum of 2.1 gallons per minute; an optional Shut Off Valve can be ordered online.
