Is there significant pressure drop from this hose due to restriction?

I sent my Delta 96" shower hose back for a refund because it was so rigid and unpleasant in my shower. Not satisfied with it at all.

I have not realized any change in water pressure. The hose length and that it does not have a plastic connection is what was most important to me.

I use a very low flow hand held shower head on the hose, so to answer your question I will have to first remove that to observe the actual pressure coming out of the hose, then remove the hose to compare the water pressure before the hose. I think I'll have time to do that tomorrow. I'll get back to you.

Okay, here's my followup. I took the hand held shower head off the hose, and turned on the water - there was no restriction I could detect. The only thing I still find mildly disappointing is that the hose is somewhat stiff, and has never straightened out, or lost 100% of it's 'memory' of the coil and bends it came with. On the other hand I can't find a smooth white shower hose of this length at any bath shop or home improvement store - so I can live with those flaws. I will however keep my eyes open for a better hose to replace it.

recommended for minimum 3000psi power washer. Regular hose can't produce the pressure.

I didn't have problems with mine. I normally run 90 psi and I don't think my depth was maxed. If your running a long line or small hose you might be starving the gun.

You can but of course it will reduce the flow somewhat, especially if it is a skinny hose.

More info needed. It could be hose thread or M22 and anything in between. What is the application? What are you connecting to and is it under pressure?

I put a ball valve on it to throttle it a little. I don't think you want to drop any pressure since natural gas is low pressure already.

Should be no problem. I find it works like a regular hose....same pressure etc.

yes. i did find that not using the hose attached could be a little ackward.

Not sure but never had an issue with this hose. Have towed and hauled multiple times.

i can think it must be the elevation of the hose itself with relation to the hieght of water. You need to use gravity unless you want to use a pump.

I have no idea, I'd call Rheem Tech support. They were very helpful during my install. Personally, I don't think pressure variations would be an issue, but who am I to know?

The flow rate is lower than a standard hose. However, the pressure should be adequate for your purpose.

I have had no drop in pressure. I am on a well ,the filter is plumbed with 3/4 cooper pipe.

What is the pressure without any attachment. If it is 12 PSI you heve somesthing clogging in the hose.

The connections are a bit loose; my suggestion would be to keep the heavy hose propped up by putting something under it. It seems to me the weight of the hose causes the ends to experience too much stress. Also, I try to minimize the slack by keeping the hose as short as possible. Don't extend it out unless you have to. Hope that helps.

I have the stainless steel one, and yes, the pressure seem diminished slightly. Not sure if it's a 'green' low flow feature.

I used the hose only as a replacement, but I really don't think you would notice much, if any, reduction in pressure at the nozzle. There might be a small reduction in the volume of water expelled due to friction of the water along the internal wall of the longer hose. That's just my theory. I am not an hydraulic engineer. Hope this answer helps you out.
