Aqualiser shower hose alternatives

[lloyda]

I need to replace a 1.5m gold hose on an Aqualiser shower, but I don't want to spend £120 (as proposed by Aqualiser). Can anyone suggest an alternative hose that is gold finish, wide bore and has knurled fittings on each end. Time spent with Google has not offered any alternatives.

Many thanks

Lloyd

You didn't look in the right place.

Or, maybe your spelling threw Google.

Plenty more on The Bay.

120 notes for a hose. They're having a laugh!

Thanks for the speedy response, but those look like cone fittings on the end? I can find plenty of cone/cone or cone/knurled but none knurled on each end. Is the choice of cone/knurled purely one of aesthetics?

Yes. Either will fit.

This will be a higher quality hose from a reputable, long established manufacturer. The Ebay one will be a budget version.

Many thanks for that. Looking at the Aqualiser site I may need to get a 3/4 to 1/2 reducer as well for the wall outlet. Removing the existing should confirm/deny that.
