Everyone usually uses a shower when they take a bath, which makes our bath more convenient and comfortable. However, since the shower can be pulled at will during use, the shower hose is prone to damage over a long period of time, and water leakage occurs. In order to ensure a long service life of the shower hose, in order to have a good bathing experience, it is necessary to choose a good quality shower hose. How to buy the shower hose? Let's take a look at it with Xiaobian!
Summary of shower hose selection techniques:
1, look at the surface
Although the surface of the shower hoses of each brand looks similar, if you look closely, you will find that the brand's shower hose surface is flat, evenly distributed, feels smooth and smooth, and the quality of the shower hose is good. The outer surface of the stainless steel, the advantage of this material is that it can protect the inner tube and also play a certain role in explosion protection.
2, look at the material
Since we use cold water and hot water during bathing, the faucet plays a role in regulating the water temperature, while the shower hose plays an important role in connecting the shower and the faucet. The use of hot and cold water requires a shower hose, so the shower hose has a higher material requirement. The inner tube material of the hose is preferably EPDM rubber. The advantage of this material is that it is resistant to aging and heat, and is not prone to expansion deformation.
3, see flexibility
Since we often pull the hose during bathing, it is convenient for us to bathe or use in different places, so we should choose a flexible material when purchasing the hose. For example, a hose such as EPDM rubber is more flexible, and it is not easy to deform when pulled, and it is easy to return to its original state. The outer tube of the shower hose is made of 304 stainless steel, so the stability and flexibility of the hose are guaranteed.
4, look at the tightness
Finally, we also need to see if it is tightly connected to the shower and faucet, and the seal is good. If the sealing of the joints at both ends of the hose is not good, then we are prone to water leakage during use and there are certain safety hazards. The good quality hose joints are made of all-copper material. The thickness of the interface and the solid gasket inside are very strong and durable. The appearance is also matched with a good rubber gasket, which has a good leak-proof effect.
