Water hoses for drinking
does any one out there use any special hoses other than normal garden hoes?
Forum Discussion
I use four hoses:
#1 and #2 are white, have a Camco inline water filter connected between them, and are used for fresh water.
#3 is a typical green garden hose. It has a backflow preventer on both ends, and is used to flush out the macerator pump. It may not get bad water in it, but I don't take chances, thus the multiple check valves.
#4 is a black, oversize hose marked "NOT FOR POTABLE WATER". This hose is used for one thing, and one thing only... the hose from the macerator pump to the sewage line. I use a check valve to cap one end, and a cap on the other when not in use.
So far, this setup has worked well.
