Why is the shower hose leaking? What should I do if the shower hose is leaking?
Author:
The shower hose makes our showering more convenient, but the shower head is often pulled randomly during use, making it very prone to damage. Once the shower hose has issues like leaking, we need to promptly identify the cause and replace it; so, why does the shower hose leak? What should we do when a leak occurs? Below, the editor from Jiuzheng Pipe Network will explain the reasons for shower hose leaks and their solutions, hoping to help everyone.
Reasons for shower hose leaks
1. Possible reasons: improper installation, deformation of the rubber ring, uneven or too thin water pipe joints, or mismatched hose and shower head.
Repair method: choose a suitable hose and shower head according to specifications, replace the rubber ring, and reinstall.
2. Possible reason: hose rupture.
Repair method: just replace it with a new hose.
3. Possible reason: improper adjustment, excessive foreign matter or scale.
Repair method: rotate the shower head to adjust it. If that doesn't work, use a flathead screwdriver to open a small cap in the middle of the shower head, use a star screwdriver to unscrew the screws, open the shower head, rinse it with clean water, brush the shower holes with a toothbrush, and then reinstall it.
Choose the right shower hose
Shower hoses come in various metal hoses, braided hoses, and PVC reinforced hoses. Different materials have their differences, and there is no definitive answer as to which is better. When buying at a hardware store, you can compare several materials, focusing on surface smoothness, uniform gaps, smooth feel, natural unfolding, sturdy structure, and strong resistance to damage. Additionally, the specifications of the shower hose should match the shower head, with common sizes being outer diameters of 14mm, 16mm, 17mm, and 18mm. You can bring the old hose to compare when buying a new one.
