Shower head hose - difference in length alter the pressure flow?

[merton69]

Hello All.

My hose is leaking so time for new one.

But I would like to purchase a longer one. The present hose is 1M and would like to get a 1.2M or 1.5M hose

Would this affect the pressure flow and ultimately place unwanted stress on the shower unit (Triton Cara) please?

Regards,

No, not at all, just don't get one with a small internal diameter.

It will make little difference to the pressure, but if it is over a bath or similar, you need to ensure it is not long enough so as to allow the head, possibly be dipped below the water level. Idea is, to prevent grey water, being syphonned back into the mains supply.

Harry! You are EVERYWHERE!!

Many thanks.

I only want to get a longer one to allow to help rinse the whole of the bath when cleaning and help get around the fish tank when being cleaned also!

Thanks
