I use this PVC shower hose on the water inlet for my water heater.

That hose in the link seems too stiff

Stiff means? too short to reach your water heater?
Or you mean hard to bend?

Hard to bend. If you see how my photos, there will be a lot of bending to connect the inlet to the water heater

I have this hose in my house, they are not that stiff.

wow ur inlet so low, enuf pressure?? is that a filter before inlet? where did u get it?

Enough pressure so far, the water heater is with pump, so no worry.

Yes, the water filter from Taobao.

Yah seem flexible enough. How much it cost per meter?
*
The length of the hose is fixed at one size.
I bought from ATKC online store, refer here:

If you need longer PVC hose, then you have to search for alternative.

Aside from splash proof socket or IP66 socket, since this is water heater, the bathroom will be very humid during or after shower, can consider install ventilation fan on the upper section of your window.
