Product Information

Full details

This guide is for homeowners looking to enhance their shower experience with improved water flow and pressure. The Euroshowers Superlux shower hose offers a premium, double-woven stainless steel construction for durability and a large 11mm bore for maximum water delivery. A potential caveat is the need to ensure the universal connectors fit your specific shower system, though they are designed for broad compatibility.

FAQs

Is the 50cm length suitable for all showers?

The 50cm length is ideal for smaller shower cubicles, straight bath/shower combinations, or when connecting directly to a wall-mounted tap. For larger showers or corner units, longer hoses (e.g., 150cm or 200cm) might be more appropriate.

What does WRAS Approved mean?

WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval signifies that the product has been tested and meets the high standards set by UK water regulations, ensuring it is safe for use with drinking water and prevents contamination.

How do I know if the 1/2" BSP connectors will fit my shower?

1/2" BSP is the standard thread size for most domestic shower hoses and shower heads in the UK and Europe. If your current hose or shower head uses a standard connection, this hose will be compatible. The dual nut design helps accommodate slight variations.

Can I use this hose with a power shower?

Yes, the large 11mm bore is particularly beneficial for power showers, allowing them to operate at their optimal flow rate and pressure.

How do I clean the stainless steel finish?

Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying thoroughly with a clean cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Does this hose come with washers?

Yes, the Euroshowers Superlux shower hose includes two essential washers to ensure a watertight seal at both connection points.

Troubleshooting

Hose leaking at connection point

Ensure the washer is correctly seated inside the conical nut. Try tightening the connection slightly further (a quarter-turn with a wrench). If the leak persists, replace the washer or try the other end of the hose.

Reduced water flow despite installation

Check that the hose is not kinked. Ensure the universal connectors are fully seated and not blocked. Verify that the water pressure from your supply unit is adequate. Clean any debris from the shower head and valve outlet.

Hose feels stiff or difficult to maneuver

This is normal for high-quality, double-woven hoses. It indicates the robust construction. Over time, it may become slightly more flexible with use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly increases water flow and shower pressure.
  • Durable and kink-resistant construction.
  • Easy to install with universal fittings.
  • High-quality materials ensure longevity.
  • WRAS approval guarantees safety standards.

Cons

  • The 50cm length may be too short for some shower setups.
  • Requires user to confirm compatibility with specific shower valve if non-standard.
  • Chrome finish may require regular cleaning to maintain shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure your water supply is turned off.
  2. Unscrew the old shower hose from both the shower head and the shower valve.
  3. Place one of the included washers into each of the conical nuts on the Superlux hose.
  4. Screw one conical nut onto the shower head connection. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn if needed.
  5. Screw the other conical nut onto the shower valve connection. If one nut doesn't fit smoothly, try the other side of the hose as the nuts have slightly different outer widths.
  6. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn.
  7. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks at both connections.

Compatibility:

  • The hose features universal 1/2" BSP Standard Size connectors, designed to fit most standard shower systems.
  • Compatible brands include Mira, Triton, Grohe, Briston, Aqualisa, and Trevi.
  • If you have an older or non-standard shower valve, confirm the thread size before purchasing.

Care:

  • Clean the hose regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the chrome finish.
  • Periodically check connections for any signs of wear or leakage.
