Oxygenics Shower Head; hose question

Just installed an Oxygenics shower head and noticed the supplied hose seems very stiff. Any one else notice this, or swap the hose with something different?

    I bought an 80 inch stainless hose from Home Depot for around $16. No twisting or fighting the hose anymore. Plus long enough to get ot all corners of the shower for cleaning of spraying down one of the pups.


    Nice idea.
  • I recently upgraded to an oxy shower head as well and agree that while the head is better, the hose I am also not a fan of. Stiff and hard to deal with.
  • I noticed a problem with the Oxygenics hose being too stiff for my liking. But after a couple of weeks, it softened with hot water passing through it.
  • Alternate solution: Hang one end of the hose from an overhead support - bonus for a sunny location. Weight the other end of the hose until it straightens out. Let it hang for 2-3 days. Success...

    I might give that a try first. Otherwise, I'll probably upgrade the hose. Thanks for all the info.
  • I "upgraded" the shower hose to a flexible CAMCO metal hose and threw the Oxygenics hose in the drawer as a spare.

    CAMCO hose

    I actually have a flexible hose on the outside shower as well.

    Looks good, thanks.
