Abstract
A hidden extendable and retractable shower hose system. The system is made up of a housing that contains a system of pulleys, a hose and a counterweight. The hose is connected to a water supply on one end and a shower head on the other end and is threaded through the pulleys. At least one of the pulleys is attached to the counterweight, which moves upward with the attached pulley when the hose is extended outside of the housing, thereby applying a tension to the hose and assisting in the retraction of the hose. The invention also includes two openings designed to be connected to a fan system, which reduces the possibility of mold and other undesirable effects of moisture, as well as another opening that acts as a drain.
