Andreas SikkemaStill one of the best home improvement hacks I’ve ever done. Not a single regret and very happy I did it every time I have to wash the windows or one of my bikes (on a balcony).
And Gardena hose is more robust than shower hose, fight me.
And this is available to all apartment dwellers. These are standard Gardena parts between faucet and shower head. Other systems also exist.

Stefan Baur 7 * 💉@bix Funny, I once built an outdoor shower from Gardena parts (the original Gardena shower only delivered cold water, my hack adds a warm water supply from a solar hose so you can adjust the temperature). It was even featured in the German edition of Make: Magazine., in 1/22, to be exact.

🇬🇧@bix I’ve done the same with the outside shower on my campervan. It makes hosing down filthy dogs much more convenient 🐕🐶🚿

Schafstelze 🎗🖤@bix what parts exactly did you use to adapt?
@Dingsextrem Gardena sells various versions of the screw on connector that you insert in the orange thing. One fits my faucet and the other the shower head. I don’t have the packaging anymore so can’t give model numbers, but any Gardena dealer should have the parts it’s all standard sized threads etc.
F4GRX Sébastien@bix @Dingsextrem this should be the "15/21" or 1/2 inch thread. This is the standard "middle size" pipe thread.
Franziska@bix Take care, not all hoses are rated for warm/hot water (but otherwise great idea!)
Jill ☁@bix holy molly this is perfect!

Cyberstern@bix oh wow… that actually fits? I’ll have to try that!
@dunkelstern with the right screw on connector thingies, yes. But it’s all available. Measure both ends, go to the relevant website(s), choose the best fitting option and Bob’s your uncle!

Dr. Quadragon ❌@bix That's brilliant!
Nik | Klampfradler 🎸🚲@bix Doesn't convince me if it doesn't use USB-C.

Christoph Fischer@bix For even more flexibility, I'd prefer a wireless solution.
caravantravellers 🌈Unless you buy these metal-wrapped hoses, they are very durable. The metal-wrapped ones scratch the bathtub (esp if it's made from acrylic plastic) and the metal spiral falls apart quickly, so that the sharp edges cut the thin inner hose.
Buy the cheaper ones made from thicker plastic.
Laberpferd@bix how did you make a photo of my bathtub?
[160 BPM]👍 Laugh, that's exactly what I did. It annoyed me that the metal flex hoses always cracked after a certain time and were so stiff when cold. I also use a Gardena multi spray instead of a shower head (it's also easier to remove for descaling). I have an adapter on some water cranes, which makes it easier to fill a cleaning bucket with a short hose, for example.

1000millimeter@bix But I guess you can't fix it any more in the holder?
@1000millimeter true, but I was t using it anyways
@bix Well, I only have it up there, so unfortunately no solution for me. But interesting nevertheless.

Julian HofmannWhy don't you allow your bike to use your shower? Would be way simpler... 🤔
@bix
@bix
@Xitnelat doesn’t fit without hitting lots of edges etc
Paul Targosz 🦦@bix i hate the optic, but i love this idea to refill my heater mhhh....
:hal_9000:@bix
as a regular fauclet is closer, I'm using this one instead:

Christopher Stark@bix But it is full of harmful Phthalates:
