Contact the Manufacturer directly. They are great to work with. I needed an additional part to connect my hoses and they sent me one right out. No charge.

Wow, mine is the same age and may have the same issue! The hose barb on mine developed a crack along the seam in the plastic. I found a new one online right here at Amazon: "Solo 4074654 Sprayer Hose Barb". Expensive for a little plastic part. I wrote to Solo about the issue, but never received a response. This one will be delivered today in fact...

Mine is stainless, and yes it is metal. Where the water comes out of the nozzle is black probably plastic with metal for corrosion purposes that makes sense. The spout, arc and control are all metal....

I purchased the 300 model which was a little more money (about $5) than the chrome one - few months ago.The 300 is metal/nickel finish. Not sure how much 'nickel' is in the metal but it appears to be a metal device (metal parts).I purchased the nickel one because I thought it looked like a stronger filter. The bracket (lower portion of the filter) that inserts into the water pipe looks and feels like metal/very strong/hard - but I am not 100% that it's metal. It does make a very strong fit/seal into the water pipe end. I hope this helps.

the hose is plastic....i don't think that there is any metal material in the hose at all...

I purchased the chrome. I think its better at hidding water spots then the stainless steal. Plus it matched the rest of our bathroom hardware. I love this shower head though. Glad i purchased

Mine is clear glass and chrome-like substance but it could be a shiny chrome-like plastic. This part seems to hold up okay.

Yes, not metal, but works fine. But don't buy any other connectors, for example "People who bought this also bought..." and they show you a brass hose connector, I bought it, it didn't fit, my bad, so I have another connector in my plumbing tool kit!!

It is plastic. the hose is metal. Still working well for me, and looks almost like new! (only because I have hard water, so there are some spots)

Fittings were metal. Do yourself favor and DO NOT purchase this Reg. It is a piece of crap. My rusted inside after 3 dive trips and when I sent it to Cressi for service they got very ugly with me and refused to service it. I think they sold me a used Req. They will not stand behind their Regs. Stay away from them. I really hope you trust me on this subject. I had to go out and buy another brand just to continue with my dive trips.

Metal ... brass where hose screws on to faucet connection. This is a fine quality faucet and after four years is not leaking anywhere. Has never required service ... What a relief to finally have an item that, so far, needs no tinkering ... I recommend this faucet model!

My advice: don't get accessories. The hoses are usually junk. Go to Harbor Freight, Lowes, or Home Depot and get some decent hoses (Goodyear is excellent) and accessories that you need. Buy quality hardware and it will last for virtually a lifetime. The curled yellow plastic hoses are okay in a pinch, but they get kinked easily; the black plastic hoses are China junk Stick with quality hoses and connectors. Harbor Freight sells good connector packages that have everything you need (except the hose) and they should carry some quality hose material. Also buy a quality tire air pressure gauge.

Yes they have replaced mine three times now. The chrome hose seems to be the ticket so far. There is a phone number that came along with your purchase. They will direct you to where you need to go. They are very prompt with their responses and replacement of your part. It has a one year warranty.

My suggestion to you is not to buy these expandable hoses that consist of the plastic fittings. I've experienced first hand that this hose is nothing but garbage and everyone that I know that purchased one had the same problem (leaks). Continue with the heavier but reliable hose until some company can produce a reliable flexible hose that will last for multiple years.

My old hose was the metal one, too, and this was a perfect replacement. The new clip did not securely hold and came apart once after a few weeks. The second time I installed the hose and clip I wrapped the connection with plastic electrician's tape and it has held for a year without coming apart. Dave

The one with steel. Don't buy plastic. They will not last. This on is great. It comes with two different size attachments to steam with!
