shower hose

A shower is a place in which a person bathes under a spray of typically warm or hot water. Indoors, there is a drain in the floor. Most showers have temperature, spray pressure and adjustable showerhead nozzle. The simplest showers have a swivelling nozzle aiming down on the user, while more complex showers have a showerhead connected to a hose that has a mounting bracket. This allows the showerer to hold the showerhead by hand to spray the water at different parts of their body. A shower can be installed in a small shower stall or bathtub with a plastic shower curtain or door. Showering is common in Western culture due to the efficiency of using it compared with a bathtub. Its use in hygiene is, therefore, common practice.

    Flexy hoses

    Morning all, I have just replaced some basin taps in my bathroom. They are bristan taps and suitable for all pressure types. My question is the flow rate is rubbish but my bath tap is fine, so I'm thinking do flexy pipes collapse inside with time? It is only the cold tap doing this. Cheers guys
