The hose we got for our Moen unit leaks from either end due to our high water pressure, how does this one do for those with high water pressure?

Our leaks as well, but I don't know if there's a problem with our shower head seal.

I have had no leaks at all at either end. This hose has been great. Hope this helps.

No implications here, but generally Moen provides rubber washers or "O" rings at all connection points but sometimes they get misplaced in the packaging. Just make sure that you did receive the rubber washers for each end of the hose. As for the Inox Premium Stainless hose, it is very sturdy with chromed metal fittings which allow for hand tightening plus I believe an additional quarter turn with a Crescent type wrench. (Check instructions) I have two of these installed, probably just hand tightened and absolutely no leaks. I could not tell you my water pressure but it is at least average for residential. Excellent product that may well fix your problem.

I'm afraid I can't answer that--I don't have high water pressure myself. You might try checking your hardware or plumbing supply stores for O-rings that fit in place of the flat rubber washers. They are available for garden hose fittings, and really make a difference over flat washers.

Mine doesn't but as I have mentioned in my review I got 2 of them and they have sent me completely different in function and appearance hoses.

I think that this would be a great hose for that reason..high water pressure. The hose is inexpensive to purchase, so give it a try. See if you can use it...I think that it will be fine.

ours does not leak and the flexablity and extra length are nice...perhaps you received a faulty one

Unless you have unusually high water pressure, I believe this product would be just fine for most residential water pressures and applications. Considering your extra pressure, you may want to apply 3 wraps of teflon tape to the threaded connections with the furnished rubber washers. Afterwards, check for leaks and you may need to tighten the connection slightly to stop any leaks, as I did. Be carefully not to cross-thread or overtighten any plastic connections, if any.

I had to replace mine because used heavy hose. Got plastic hose and now works fine.

I had mine installed by a plumber. It has never leaked. Perhaps one of the hoses leading up to that head is not tightened?

After rolling the hose up twice it started started to leak water big time. I could never roll up a 100ft hose completely as avertised. I put it in the garage and have never used that piece of junk again. Bob

a very similar thing happened to me, I did not feel that it was worth the bother to send it back. we had ours for 3 days, and it burst. I cant give you an answer for them. I would not want another one. the first one was enough for me! I wonder if the technology on this type of hose is ready for the market.

I have had Gardena hoses and connectors for four years without having a single one fail. I suspect that the problem was too high a pressure for Phoneman. Hint: close the faucet slightly with a narrower hose.

I believe replacing the cartridge will stop the leak. I recommend NOT buying an after market cartridge since some non-Moen's lack the smooth operation. I bought several after market cartridges with the same results before trying the Moen. I also agree with GA Peach's suggestion to look at a youtube video to see how to replace the cartridge.

Mine leaks too, no matter what I do and it's brand new. It doesn't leak at the hose, but between the plastic connectors.

Mine was installed well but twice we had the plumber return to tighten it, each time after a month of use. The pressure is probably commercial-strength versus residential, so it periodically comes loose at the base. My husband is not a fan and wants to replace it with something very basic.

I had the exact same issue with mine. Make sure the quick disconnect is seated properly and the hoses aren't kinked. Also, taking out some of the sponges helps a little and increases the flow. That worked for me for a little bit. I eventually filed a warranty claim and within a few days API had sent me a brand new one and it has never leaked. You may need to do the same.

WE had a similar problem. There is a cartridge inside the handle that goes bad and Moen will replace it. Water leaks from the cartridge area and goes down the stem of the faucet into the cabinets and floor below. We had this problem twice and Moen did send us a cartridge but we had two leaks and eventaully Amazon gave us a refund and we bought a Delta faucet which has been fine.

You've probably checked this already but I'm wondering if the problem is something other than the hose - maybe a bad or clogged connection to the main water faucet or the nozzle you're using? I get a lot of pressure through mine.

This hose is probably OK with really light use, any significant water pressure will blow the connection off the end of the hose, that is what happened to me and gave my wife a quick shower, she was not happy with me or the hose.

I have no experience with high pressure. I just know this is the best hose I've ever bought and it seems like it will last forever.

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.

I have this facet, I had to tighten the hose so it won't leak. I would call them at Amazon to fine out if its a leak or just need's to be tighten. Or just call Light In The Box they should be able to advise you the route to go.

What is a water cord? Do you mean the flange pipe that comes out of the wall? I have had no problems with my shower head. I love it! Could you have over tightened it, or not used plumber's tape when you installed it?
