How to choose a high-quality shower hose

The Flexible Shower Hose makes our shower more convenient, but the shower is often pulled at will during use, so it is very vulnerable to damage. Once the shower hose has problems such as water leakage, we need to find out the cause and replace it in time.

What material is the best shower hose?

1. The flexible shower hose is the part that connects the shower and the faucet. The water coming out of the shower is hot or cold, so the material requirements are higher. Generally, the hose is composed of an inner tube and an outer tube. The material of the inner tube is preferably EPDM, and the material of the outer tube is 304 stainless steel. The shower hose made in this way will be more prominent in various performances, have a long service life, and have a better shower experience. One is more resistant to aging and heat, and the other is elastic.

2. The aging resistance and heat resistance are outstanding. This is because the performance of the EPDM rubber used in the inner tube is acid and alkali resistance, heat resistance, can withstand hot water immersion higher than 100 degrees Celsius, and is not prone to expansion and deformation. The stainless steel shower hose needs hot water to flow through for a long time during the shower, so this material is the most suitable inner tube material.

3. EPDM rubber has better elasticity. It is often necessary to stretch the hose in the shower for better washing. It just happens that the material of EPDM rubber has better flexibility and will not be deformed by pulling. It is easy to return to its original state and is suitable for shower use. This is one of the reasons why EPDM rubber is used.

4. When purchasing a shower hose, you can preliminarily check the elasticity of the hose by stretching. When stretched, the better the elasticity, the better the quality of the rubber used. In order to better protect the rubber inner tube, there is usually a nylon core made of plastic-coated acrylic.

5. The 304 stainless steel outer tube also protects the inner tube. It is formed by winding stainless steel wire, which can limit the stretching range of the inner tube and prevent explosion.
