FAQs
What material is the Aquadry Oria shower hose made from?
The hose is constructed from durable PVC with a chrome effect finish.
What is the length of this shower hose?
The hose is 1.25 meters long.
Does this hose come with a shower head?
No, this is a shower hose only and is designed to be used with a compatible handheld shower head, ideally the Aquadry Oria model.
How do I clean the chrome effect finish?
Wipe gently with a damp, soft cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild, non-abrasive soap solution and rinse thoroughly. Always dry with a soft cloth.
Is this hose suitable for high-pressure systems?
Yes, the durable PVC construction is designed to withstand standard household water pressures.
Can I use this hose with any brand of shower head?
While it is designed for the Aquadry Oria shower head, it features standard fittings that are generally compatible with most other handheld shower heads and shower valves.
What should I do if I see kinks in the hose?
Try to gently uncoil the hose. Avoid sharp bends or kinking the hose during installation and use, as this can weaken the material over time.
Troubleshooting
Hose leaks at connection point
Ensure the rubber washer is correctly seated inside the fitting. Try tightening the connection slightly. If the leak persists, check the hose or fitting for damage.
Reduced water flow
Check both ends of the hose for kinks. Unscrew the hose and check for any debris or limescale buildup inside the connectors and shower head.
Chrome effect finish looks dull
Clean the hose with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
