FAQs
What is the length of the shower hose flex?
The shower hose flex is 1.75 meters long, providing extended reach and flexibility.
What color is this shower hose?
This shower hose comes in a classic Chrome finish.
Can I use this hose with any shower valve?
While it has standard fittings, this hose is specifically designed for use with the Balterley range of bathroom brassware for optimal compatibility and aesthetic matching.
How do I clean the chrome finish?
Clean the chrome finish using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain its shine.
Is this hose suitable for high water pressure systems?
The hose is constructed with high-quality materials designed for reliable performance, suitable for standard household water pressure.
How often should I check the hose connections?
It is recommended to check the hose connections periodically, especially if you notice any dripping or reduced water flow, and tighten gently if needed.
Troubleshooting
Hose is leaking from the connection points.
Ensure connections are hand-tightened and then gently tightened with a wrench. Check if washers are present and correctly seated in both ends of the hose. Avoid over-tightening.
Reduced water flow from the shower head.
Check for kinks in the hose. Unscrew the hose from both ends and check for any internal blockages or debris. Ensure the washers are not obstructing the flow.
Hose appears stiff or difficult to maneuver.
New hoses may require a short period of use to become more flexible. Ensure the hose is not excessively cold, which can temporarily reduce flexibility. Check for any internal obstructions restricting movement.
