Product Information

Full details

The Buwico 118-Inch Replacement Shower Hose is designed for homeowners and caregivers who require extra reach for cleaning, pet bathing, or assisted showering. Its primary advantage is the exceptional three-meter length, providing flexibility that standard hoses cannot match; however, users should be aware that the added length requires careful management to prevent tangling in smaller shower enclosures.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this hose compatible with all showerheads?

Yes, it uses the standard 1/2-inch connection size, which is universal for most residential showerheads and wall outlets.

Can the 118-inch length be cut shorter?

No, cutting the hose will damage the internal structure and render it unusable and prone to leaking.

Does it come with washers?

Yes, the hose includes the necessary rubber washers for a leak-proof seal at both connection points.

Will this hose rust over time?

The exterior is designed to be rust-resistant, making it highly durable for the high-humidity environment of a shower.

Is it heavy when full of water?

While the extra length adds some weight, the materials used are lightweight yet strong, making it easy to manage for most users.

What is the benefit of the double interlock design?

It provides extra structural integrity, meaning the hose is much less likely to snap or separate under pressure compared to single-layer hoses.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking at the connection point

Ensure the rubber washer is inside the connector and hand-tighten firmly. If it still leaks, consider adding plumber's tape to the threads.

Hose feels stiff

Run hot water through the hose for a few minutes; the heat will soften the EPDM inner material and improve flexibility.

Low water pressure

Check the hose for any accidental kinks or loops and ensure the internal rubber washer is not obstructing the opening.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Generous 118-inch length offers unparalleled reach
  • Double interlock structure provides superior durability
  • Highly flexible material prevents frustrating kinks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installing the Buwico shower hose is a straightforward process. Most standard shower mounts and hand-held showerheads use universal 1/2-inch connections, making this hose widely compatible.

  1. Ensure your water is turned off.
  2. Unscrew the old hose from the wall outlet and the showerhead.
  3. Verify the rubber washers are seated correctly inside the new hose connectors.
  4. Screw the Buwico hose onto the wall outlet, tightening by hand to avoid damaging threads.
  5. Attach the showerhead to the other end.
  6. Turn on the water and check for leaks, tightening slightly with a cloth-protected wrench if necessary.

To care for your hose, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth periodically to prevent mineral buildup. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners that could damage the rust-resistant finish.
