    Where can I buy this handheld shower ?
    It comes with a 72" plastic white hose.
    The hose is leaking from the crimped connector.
    Replacing the washer did not help.
    Local stores (HD, Lowe's, etc) do not carry it.
    Bought similar items online but they did not meet expectations.
    Sometimes the hose is too rigid,
    Sometimes the shower handle is too light/cheap.

    Please, help!

    The shape tells me it looks like old Grohe Relaxa hand-held shower. See the pic. But I may be wrong. It is hard to tell from the photos.

    Do you want to buy exactly the same design and color ? There are dozens of hand-held shower heads and hoses made by different manufacturers that will fit your connections. Inexpensive ones you can purchase in Home Depot / Lowe's for under $50.00.

    I can post more pictures if nencessary. I need a "white" handle/hose. I am NOT looking for a cheap/light weight handle. Just one similar quality to this. I have been at several Home Depot/Lowes. They have very few white handles and they all come with a 60" hose. They sell cheap 72" universal hoses.

    Hi Bertinosd...

    The best option for you will probably be to contact/visit a local plumbing supply store... one with a showroom would be best... ;)

    At the store, let the salesperson know that you are looking for a high quality WHITE hand-held shower and they should be able to help you.

    Good luck!

    White used to be in date back in the 80s. That's why they are so uncommon items these days. Also, good luck getting metal hand-held as most shower heads today are plastic - especially white.

    Go to a big, professional supply house, like Ferguson Enterprises. Google them. They are all over. Talk to their salesman. I am sure she will be able to help you...

    Went to Ferguson in North County. They told me white is out of fashion and I am not going to find it. The guy looked in several catalogs:Delta, Moen, etc and could not find anything similar.
