    Anyone know where I can get shower hose seals in a set on their own?
    I tried a few of the usual places and seals dont seem to be available on their own (as a pair), only included with a hose, which I dont want.

    Same for bath or sink tap seals used at the point where the tap is fitted to the sink/bath, where can these be purchased on their own? I think they are a neoprene material, possibly with a layer (a thin sliver) of impermeable material so they dont absorb water. As these items seem only available if you replace the tap, which isnt what I want to do.

    Any ideas how much a shower head for a triton shower is new, they seem to make such a point of saying to use their shower heads.

    Plumbing suppliers for the two rubber washers for the hose. Chadwicks, Heatmerchants etc.

    Triton shower head around 30 to 35 Euro in woodies. The reason they say triton shower head should always be used is because these are designed for electric showers. A lot of research has gone into finding out the right amount and the right size holes in the head to allow the electric showers work correctly. Buy a 10 Euro Tesco shower head and it will restrict the flow of the water causing the water to go hot and cold. A Mira shower head will work just as well but it'll be around the same price.
    If you ever need to replace the shower hose you again buy a triton or mira hose. Other hoses may have a smaller diameter inside and again restrict the flow.
