Full details

FAQs

What is the main benefit of the plastic coating on this hose?

The plastic coating provides a durable, easy-to-clean surface that also helps to protect the metal hose from scratches and reduces the presence of bacteria due to its anti-microbial properties.

Is this hose suitable for a large walk-in shower?

The 1.25m length is generally best suited for bathtubs or smaller shower stalls. For larger walk-in showers, a longer hose, such as the Hansgrohe Sensoflex 2.00m or 1.60m variants, might be more appropriate.

How do I prevent the hose from kinking?

The Sensoflex hose features kink protection and pivot connectors designed to prevent tangling. Ensure the hose is installed correctly and avoid sharp bends or kinks when storing it. Regular cleaning and ensuring the connectors move freely also help.

Can I use this hose with a non-Hansgrohe hand shower?

While the hose is designed for universal application and should fit most standard shower systems, it is guaranteed to be compatible with all Hansgrohe hand showers. It's always advisable to check the threading size if connecting to a non-Hansgrohe fixture.

What is the warranty period for this shower hose?

Hansgrohe provides a 5-year manufacturer's guarantee against manufacturing defects for this shower hose.

How often should I clean the shower hose?

For optimal hygiene and appearance, it is recommended to wipe the hose with a damp cloth after each use or at least weekly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Hose leaks at the connection points

Ensure the rubber washers are correctly seated inside the connectors. Hand-tighten the connections firmly, and then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn. Avoid overtightening, which can damage the threads or washers.

Water flow is reduced

Check both ends of the hose for any debris or mineral buildup that might be obstructing the flow. Unscrew the hose and flush it with water. Also, check the aerator on your hand shower for blockages.

Hose tangles despite anti-tangle features

Ensure the pivot connectors are functioning correctly. Occasionally, a small piece of debris can hinder movement. Try gently flexing the connection points. Store the hose without tension when not in use.

Plastic coating appears damaged

Inspect the hose for any tears or deep scratches. If the damage is significant, it may compromise the hose's integrity and water-tightness, and replacement might be necessary. Contact Hansgrohe customer support if within the warranty period.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable metal build with protective coating for longevity.
  • Anti-microbial feature promotes hygiene.
  • Tangle-free design enhances user comfort.
  • Easy to clean and maintain.
  • Suitable for bathtubs and smaller shower spaces.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The Sensoflex shower hose is designed for straightforward installation. Ensure the water supply is turned off before attempting to replace your old hose. Unscrew the old hose from both the hand shower and the wall outlet or shower mixer. Screw the new Hansgrohe Sensoflex hose onto the hand shower and the water supply connection. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a final snug turn, being careful not to overtighten. Re-establish the water supply and check for leaks.

Compatibility: This shower hose is universally applicable with all Hansgrohe hand showers. Its standard connection size ensures it will fit most common shower systems. However, always confirm compatibility with your specific shower mixer or outlet if it is not a Hansgrohe product.

Care: To maintain the hose's appearance and functionality, regularly wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the plastic coating and chrome finish. The anti-microbial coating helps reduce bacterial growth, but periodic cleaning is still recommended. Ensure the hose is not kinked or excessively bent when not in use to prolong its lifespan.
