[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the AXOR Shower Solutions Textile Hose with Cylindrical and Conical
Nut, 79" in Chrome and was very surprised at just how easy it was to install-all I had to do was unscrew the current metal hose and screw on the new textile hose- just 2 nuts on each. The hose is made from an environmentally friendly recycled PET braided gray textile material that is lightweight, soft to the touch and flexible and the nuts are chrome. I got the 79” one but it comes in several sizes. It is very nice to use, being more flexible than the standard metal shower hose and due to the soft nature of the hose, it doesn’t make the clanking noises against the shower tiles that the metal one does. While the hose appears to be more slender, I’m not sure that it actually is and It has not diminished the water flow or pressure in any noticeable way. If you’re looking for a really nice shower hose replacement I would definitely recommend this well made AXOR product.
