swim platform shower hose

   Just a heads up to all.
Recently I have noticed that the swim shower hose at the stern has started to bulge, quite alarmingly - when the fw system has any pressure in it, thus am in the process of changing this for a much stronger version and also one that does not kink when pushed back in through a roughly cut hole - maybe hydraulic hose or similar.
If it had burst when stowed back in its socket - (and the controls not switched to "off") that would have meant an MT water tank and a bilge full of FW!
I'm sure this is due in part to the heat here , however when I noticed it the temp was only 30C! 
Today its 45C and not too pleasant!
