Product Information
Full details
The Euroshowers SuperStrong Shower Hose is an ideal solution for homeowners looking for a reliable, long-lasting replacement for their existing shower assembly. It is specifically designed for those who need a durable, kink-resistant connection between their shower valve and handset, offering a sleek chrome finish that integrates seamlessly with modern bathroom decor. While it provides robust performance and easy installation, users should note that the hose is rigid due to its reinforced construction and may not be as flexible as lightweight plastic alternatives.

FAQs
Is this hose compatible with all shower brands?
Yes, it uses standard universal hose connections, which fit almost all standard UK shower valves and handsets.
Does this hose come with washers?
Yes, the product is designed to be installed with standard rubber washers to ensure a watertight seal.
Can I use this with an electric shower?

How do I remove limescale from the exterior?
Use a mild solution of water and white vinegar applied with a soft cloth, then rinse well.
Is the hose flexible?
It is flexible enough for everyday showering, though its reinforced nature makes it slightly firmer than non-reinforced hoses.
What is the diameter of the internal bore?
The hose features an 8mm internal bore for reliable water flow.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking at the connection point
Ensure the rubber washer is seated correctly inside the nut and tighten the connection by hand until secure.
Reduced water flow
Check the hose for any kinks or blockages at the shower head nozzle, then ensure the hose is not being pinched.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation Steps
- Unscrew the old shower hose from both the shower valve and the handset.
- Check that the existing rubber washers are in good condition; if they are worn, replace them with the new ones typically included with the hose.
- Hand-tighten the new hose onto the shower valve outlet.
- Hand-tighten the other end to the shower handset.
- Run the shower for 30 seconds to ensure there are no leaks at the connections.
Care Instructions
To maintain the chrome finish, wipe the hose down periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can strip the chrome coating. If you live in a hard water area, vinegar-based solutions can be used to remove limescale build-up, provided they are rinsed off thoroughly with water.
