Water hose taste

How do you get rid of the plastic water hose taste in the water? I am using the white hoses made for potable water. I thought they weren't supposed to affect the water taste??

  • If hose is made in accordance with NSF requirements there should be no taste.
    You could mis bleach with some water and fill hose. Let it set for some time, I would leave for around four hours, then flush with fresh water.
  • It may not be the white hose that is the issue. You may need to use some bleach in your RV water tank and lines, and flush to get rid of taste. There are also a few other choices, such as fresh tab, that can be used in a similar fashion as bleach.
