Shower hose? (lemmy.ml)

Any idea about a hose-style shower head? I got one at Home Despot last year, worked fine, until a couple nights ago the thread fitting to the water pipe broke and it got water all over the place. The fitting turns out to be made of plastic that is shiny plated to look like metal!

Any idea where to get one made of actual metal? Should look decent but doesn't have to be fancy. All the HD ones appear to be crap like the one that broke. Thanks.

Yeah... On their blog they have some traditionally leftist environmental posts, but that marketing does throw a wrench into things. I'm unsure if they're really hard right or just playing both sides in their marketing.

I figured saving water is ultimately more important, and these guys make going that route the most viable, since many people try a low-flow head become cold or hate the icepick feeling some if them have and go back to their high-flow head. These ones pretty much guarantee anyone I recommend them to will stick with it.
