Looking for "Navy Shower" Head. Don't plonk me

Just saw a nifty faucet on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship last week. One knob controlled the temp, including a detent button to get to the really hot water, and another to cut the water on/off. Maybe you can contact them?

It's called a "self-closing" valve (or stop). Do a GOOGLE, or:

That sounds more like a "Golden Shower" head......

Legitimate question there ya landlubber. At sea, unless you're on a modern cruise ship, fresh water is a rather limited commodity; it must be loaded prior to embarkation, and/or created underway by evaporators.

Either way the "makes-the-ship-go" machinery and cooking get first dibs. So while showering, you get wet, secure the water (turn it off), lather up, then rinse.

Huh?

Yeah, but I don't think he's on a ship. I think he's just trying to be a... a... a... you know... "Californian."

Remember, you can burn Hydrogen in the presence of Oxygen and get "fresh" water. All other water, including that in the designer bottles, is "used" water.

Yeah I know, seaman. My mind was in the gutter.

PS:

Please fix your broken signature it should be "-- " (two dashes and a return), preceding it.

does have an on/off button

Sorry, just following this thread. Having been on a ship for years, I remember those handheld POS's. Typically they would just drippble out, cause the internial nozzle wore or was broken.

Man, nice flash back. From now on, it's hollywood showers for me, forever!
