I am currently doing a number of upgrades in preparation for a 4 week trip, leaving in 3 days! Anyway, part of that was a new shower faucet...which focused me to take a closer look at the unruly shower hose. I greatly disliked how stiff the shower hose was. I looked at a number of different ones, some were heavy and some were way more flexible than the typical plastic/vinyl shower hose.
I took a chance and ordered one from Amazon...actually the only one with the word "flexible" in the title. This thing is like a wet noodle. Also, the shorter length is perfect. LOVE IT. I am now in control of the shower head instead of the stiff hose.
When I installed the shower faucet I put the discharge outlet on the bottom (instead of the top). For the sake of shower curtains/mods the bottom exit worked much better for me. And... the Oxygenics shower head will still reach the ceiling!
