Armix Shower Hose ASH6607 Large Bore Stainless Steel 150cm Extra Wide

As advertised, the bore is indeed much larger than my previous hose, improving pressure and flow. The hose looks & feels of good quality and is very flexible. Installation took 30 seconds thanks to the standardized connectors. It doesn't leak even though I didn't even use O-rings. I've been using it for a few weeks with no issues.

Having had an issue where my shower appeared to be dripping water at the point of connection to the actual power shower unit itself I decided that I needed to get a new hose to see if this could fix the issue. This was easy to fit with washers that have a metal mesh meaning that it stops and build up pushing through to actual shower head itself which is a good attention to detail. The bore is of a good size meaning that it works well with my power shower which is great. At the cost it seems to be a really good deal and the fact it came in a box rather than just a plastic bag was not something I expected at this price point.

I found I had to add a further washer to the mixer coupling end of the hose as the coupling was a touch too long for my shower unit connection. Although the coupling was fully screwed home, it contacted the mixer body before the seal was made and it leaked slightly. I had to put a further washer in that coupling and that solved the problem. Otherwise, it worked OK and looks fine. It is only been in place for a few days now, so cannot comment on its longevity or ease of cleaning. I would recommend it but I do feel that if the coupling was a few millimetres shorter it wouldn't make the tightness needed to make the seal - but it is easily remedied.

Nice and shiny metal outside and very flexible. Seems like a good quality product. I took the filters out of the rubber sealing washers because I didn’t want to restrict the flow at all. I went for this larger internal diameter hose because I have a power shower and the previous standard hose did restrict the flow somewhat. Very pleased with the purchase.

Great quality, metal coating ; fits tap perfectly. About 20% price of the Ideal Standard replacement .Just installed, but if it lasts about 2 or 3 years it will earn its 5 star rating

The hot water pressure in my bathroom is quite low and the flow rate from the shower is not very good. I bought this Armix large bore shower hose and also an Armix shower head for low pressure but after installing them the flow rate was considerably worse than before! I tried various combinations of old & new head/hose and the best set up turned out to be the original head and hose - both of the Armix products actually made mattes worse despite being designed to help. However, I noticed that this hose was supplied with rubber washers that have a fine mesh across the hole (presumably to prevent large particles getting through and blocking the shower head), but these also make it a bit harder for the water to squeeze through. So I replaced the washers with the normal non-mesh ones that I had from my old set up, and finally found that with this large bore hose, different washers, and my original shower head I had a slightly increased flow rate (up from 2.7 l/min to 3.5 l/min for those who care about that sort of thing).The Armix shower head is going back because it was useless. I'll keep the hose but I've given it 3-stars because of the faff with having to replace the washers. You might say 'you get what you pay for' and that is true, but the old shower head and hose were cheap basic products too, yet they out-performed these Armix products which are specifically intended to improve the flow rate.

Simple to install - just insert washers provided and screw in place just finger tight. Looks as good if not better than my original and no leaks. Also liked minimal packaging.

This item was delivered promptly in the Christmas rush, it was of good quality, had a bore size of 11mm (not many many hoses have this). Was easy to fit and a fair price . I would buy again.
