Question from di

I recently bought a replacement for my kitchen sink faucet, including the sprayer.

The sprayer hose smells very bad. From my experience in buying shower replacement head with a hose attached, this takes forever to off-gas. I have some hanging in my garage that still smell.

I just noticed this in the last few years. The replacements I’ve gotten in the past did not smell this badly.

What would I look for when choosing these products, as far as the hose attached to the sprayers?

thanks.

I called a supplier of kitchen hoses and he said that you need to buy a hose that goes with the brand of sprayer. Nowadays, he said, the hoses are made either from metal or nylon. So I don’t know what would be smelling so bad about the hose.

My suggestion would be if you are buying a sprayer that you check out the material of the hose ahead of time. Neither metal nor nylon should have an odor.
