I've been dissatisfied with the shower in my bathroom since we moved into the house in February. The hot water pressure in the house isn't great as we have a gravity-fed hot water tank system - we certainly miss the combi boiler arrangement from our previous house. As a result, the output pressure from the basic bath/shower mixer wasn't as high as we were used to. We got a plumber in to change the taps in case these were the bottleneck, but unfortunately the previous bathroom fitter had bodged the tap holes so badly that our only option was to stick with the original mixer or replace the whole bath, not something that we had the budget to do.I've tried two or three replacement shower heads and these didn't really help either, although the latest one I tried, also a Bristan model, was the best of a bad bunch. As a last-ditch attempt, I decided to change the shower hose for this large bore version, my logic being that if more water is allowed to pass, the pressure should be higher. I was a little sceptical that it would make a difference as I wasn't convinced that my system was able to supply the pressure needed, but it's made the world of difference - I'm really impressed. Paired with my latest Bristan head, the pressure is more than adequate. I'm so glad I decided to give this new hose a try, as for mere pounds I've solved a problem that I didn't think I would get to the bottom of without replacing the hot water and central heating system.So if you're struggling with disappointing pressure from any shower, especially a gravity-fed one, this is well worth a try.The hose comes in a plastic blister pack, complete with two black rubber washers (one for each end). The hose looks slightly different from the one pictured, as both ends are identical - the one pictured has a longer piece at one end with a concave section, which is not present on the one I received. This makes no difference to the functionality of the product as far as I can tell, and I actually prefer it as it visually matches the hose I was replacing. It's a doddle to fit as you simply unscrew the old hose at both ends and screw in the new one.

Mehr Wasser. Mehr Druck ;)

Plus de diametre interne = plus de débit (si le reste de l installation n'a pas de goulet de diametre inférieur).Plus de débit sur une poire de douche donnée = plus de pression.Bref, a revolutionné ma douche, top.

Einfache Montage

When upgrading our showers to accept high pressure hot water from a new unvented cylinder, I picked out Bristan components and wanted the shower hoses to match. The hose was a good length and has a good quality finish that matches the mixer tap and riser. Flow rate is great, a big improvement over our old power shower setup!!!
