Water hoses for drinking
does any one out there use any special hoses other than normal garden hoes?

I did not infer anyone should do as I do. I just stated what I consider is a common sense fact and that is when drinking water from any device. The water should have been running cold out of the device for a minute or two. In this case a device would be a water hose or an underground pipe. I have been places were the water out of the spigot has not turned cold for minutes because the pipes are so close to the surface. There have been places it never turned cold and I did not use the water. I have a water inspector that is given a fresh cold bowl of water at every campground. If she will not drink a bit getting out of the camper after a six hour ride we do not use that water. That actually happened once in central New York State. Dog took one sniff and looked up and walked away.
Chuckbear I agree with you and “the water safety act” sorta. The contaminants have to leach into the water. Leach means a slow process. Water running fast through whatever is not going to pick up much of the bad stuff. Heck I grew up with water pipes of galvanized iron, then copper connected with lead solder (made me think about the Romans) and now spiffy new plastic. It appears the baby boomers in Chicago made it through winters were the air smelled of coal burning. As a kid I wondered about that. But that was the way it was back then.
Imgoin4it please reread my post. I have never been sick from doing what I described, ever. Nor has anyone that has used my camper in my parking area during the summer.
OP, Get two 25’ white hoses from where ever and you are fine. I would spend the extra money for good ones. Good being end connectors that are made well.
DutchmenSport, you are SO bad and true to the times! I love it!
