Those are fine but try coiling when the temps get cool. IMHO these are the best hoses available I have found. NOT cheap but will last a lifetime. You can pick from a variety of lengths or have any length made you want. Also you can select from solid brass or SS ends that won't fall apart.
These hoses are flexible in COLD weather.
Not good with adding links maybe someone can help, thanks.

Good to see the RV water filter store "custom" hoses finally got posted.
Sooo....use whatever you like - green garden hose, white hose from Wally, or??
The big diff to me is not the *quality* of the water from "any old hose", but the *quality* of the hose itself.
The RV Water Filter Store sells a hose that doesn't kink when stored, coils nicely in hot or cold weather, has quality couplings, avail in any length I choose, and won't "rupture" when you least expect it from over-pressure.
(yeah I use a Watts regulator).
Gets down to - do you want cheapO -or quality?...:@
Pull your (water) hose and be happy!...:C
~- I have a life mist water distiller in my home which I use for drinking, cooking, washing vegetables. It is also connected to my ice-maker. I always carry an adequate supply when on a camping trip... used mainly for making coffee.

Everyone to their own thing. Distilled would be safe but as far as I'm concerned I've tasted distilled and I think I would have to rinse my socks in it or something to get a little taste.
Actually in my 76 years I've never worried to much about my water, drink from creeks, lakes, water hoses, countries all around the Mediterranean, Mexico, Central and South America with no ill effects. I realize of course, that I may someday get some water that might kill me. It might even be in the iced tea that I will have at a restaurant this evening but I am not going to become phobic about it.- The key word is DISTILLED

I don't have any real objection to a regular hose and often use one at home to fill my fresh water tank before leaving but I always let it run for a good while first. Don't know if it makes any difference but I do it any way. When I am connected to a camp supply my water is pressure regulated, filtered and through an hose approved for potable water. By the way potable approved hoses be other colors than white.

Not saying there were, have no idea, but it is entirely possible that thousands of bottles were filled with Flint's water.VoodooMedicineMan wrote:

You can't blame the white hose, OR the garden hose laying on the ground for this mess! The garden hose on the ground with water coming out of a private well is probably better than this stuff any day! Shesh! They've got a real problem, don't they?martipr wrote:

I use the Water Filter Sore for most things however from the website write up the hoses are 1/2" hoses. I can't see using less than a 5/8" hose.tsetsaf wrote:

I was skeptical but the 1/2" work just fine.- I continue to be amazed by the number of people who love to waste money buying bottled water which probably came from a municipal water supply, or from an even less controlled source.
