The Purchase of Shower Hoses

Everyone usually uses a shower when taking a bath, it can make our bathing more convenient and comfortable. However, since the shower head can be pulled at will during use, the shower hose will be easily damaged after a long time of use, resulting in water leakage. In order to ensure a long service life of the shower and  have a good bathing, it is necessary for us to choose a good quality shower hose. How to choose a shower hose?

1.Surface

Although the surface of the shower hose of each brand looks similar, if you look closely, you will find that the surface of the shower hose of the brand is flat, the gap is evenly distributed, the hand feels smooth, and the shower hose is of good quality. The outer surface of the hose is made of stainless steel. The advantage of this material is that it can not only protect the inner tube, but also play a certain explosion-proof effect.
2.Material
Since we use cold water and hot water when taking a bath, the faucet plays the role of adjusting the water temperature, and the shower hose plays an important role in connecting the shower and the faucet. The use of hot and cold water needs to pass through the shower hose, so the shower hose has higher requirements on the material. The best material for the inner tube of the hose is EPDM rubber, which has the advantages of outstanding aging resistance and heat resistance, and is not easy to expand and deform.
3.Flexibility
When purchasing a hose, choose a material with good flexibility. For example, a hose made of EPDM rubber is more flexible, and it is not easy to deform when we pull it, and it is easy to return to its original state. The outer tube of the shower hose is better made of 304 stainless steel, so that the stability and flexibility of the hose are guaranteed.
4.Tightness
We also need to see whether it is tightly connected with the interface of the shower and faucet, and whether the sealing is good. High-quality hose joints are made of all-copper material. The thickness of the interface and the solid gasket inside are very strong and durable. The appearance is also equipped with a good rubber gasket, which has a good leak-proof effect.
