Any hose will not kink if you properly put it away. Blow/drain all of the water from the hose and coil them the same direction every time with a diameter of about 16-18". Screw the two ends together and store flat. Works for me.

Yep

I use the same hoses. They have solid brass machined ends that won't distort, causing leaks.

I use a regular water hose that you'd use for watering your garden. I've never had problems with contamination or bad taste. We keep a PUR water pitcher in the refrigerator for drinking water, so the hose does not matter to me .... but a GOOD sturdy stout hose does.

This last Spring I went to Lowe's (home center) and bought all new hoses. One is a 100 footer and the other is a 50 footer. They weren't cheap! They had the reinforced material through the hose, and the connections were heavy duty. I don't know what brand they were, all I really remember was ... I'm sick and tired of leaky, kinkey hoses and price did not matter any more!

FYI... I've not been disappointed. If you don't care they are not a white hose, go to a Home Depot type store and get them there, the heavy duty ones. By the way, better act fast. Most stores are already putting away Summer merchandise. Hoses are almost always the first things that disappear. Then those shelves are lined with plastic Santa Clauses!

You can get quality American made hoses at Camping world (I know, I'm as shocked as you).
