Aqualisa Shower Hoses

Measure the reach you need from your shower outlet to the handset and allow extra slack for comfortable movement; 1.5m suits most standard shower enclosures and smaller ensuites, while 1.75m gives extra flexibility for taller riser rails or when you use the handset to rinse a shower tray or wash a child. If you have a fixed overhead shower plus a separate handset, the 1.75m can make switching between fittings easier. The range on offer is specifically 1.5m and 1.75m, so pick the length that avoids stretch or tight bends.

Smooth anti-kink hoses are designed with an outer sleeve that resists twisting and formation of tight kinks, so the handset moves more freely and the hose is less likely to split over time. Standard hoses remain hardwearing and are a more budget-friendly option, as shown by the price difference between the standard chrome 1.5m and the smooth chrome 1.5m. If you regularly manoeuvre the handset or have children, a smooth anti-kink model will save you fuss and reduce wear.

They’re described as hardwearing and built to withstand daily use; smooth anti-kink versions reduce strain and prolong life, and stainless steel resists corrosion well. Wipe the hose regularly with a soft cloth and mild detergent, avoid sharp bends or knotting, and rinse any shower cleaner off quickly to prevent surface damage. With simple care you can expect many years of reliable service from the models shown.

Aqualisa hoses are compatible with all standard showers and shower heads, so they will fit the majority of mixers and handsets without special adaptors. If your system uses a non-standard proprietary connection, check the shower manufacturer’s documentation, but for most household showers the hose will be a direct replacement. The range includes chrome and stainless steel options to match existing fittings.

Chrome is the most versatile, matching contemporary taps and brightening a small bathroom; stainless steel gives a more industrial, matt-lustre look and is very durable. Gold adds warmth and a luxury touch if you already have brass or gold-effect fittings. Match the hose finish to your taps and shower fittings for a cohesive look, pair a gold hose with warm brass taps, or chrome with polished chrome mixers.
