I threw out all I knew about the safety of hoses the first time I stayed in Florida.
I went to use the potable water hose at a friends where I was parked. Green specs came out. The owner said yup, that's what happens to the "inside" of a hose left outside in the sun. GREEN MOLD.
I cut open my hose that I had sitting outside from spigot to tank. The entire inside of the hose was coated with green slimy mold. Google it, it's not good. Yet another reason I don't drink from an enclosed holding tank that takes on the ambient temperature of the outside air for water.
