Zero-G water hose

I winter in AZ...have had one of these hoses hooked to water supply at 45 psi since the end of September (2016). 6.5 months of 24/7 pressure. I used the hose on the way here and some of the parks we've stayed at had regulated pressure of 60 psi. No leaks or splits and half the length has been coiled loosely on the ground for that entire time. I have two others that I use weekly to clean up my SxS after runs in the desert. You can use them in all temperatures with no change in the ease of deployment or storage. I don't plan on going back to regular hoses any time soon. Oh, storage...I can put 75 feet of these hoses in the same space I used for 25 feet of white hose. Love 'em.

Not for supply. I use a Y and use the hose for flushing the black tank and any other water needs. I like the fact it coils back up and is a space saver.

We also have a Zero-G water hose and really like it. As a precaution I purchased a adjustable water pressure device and set it for 35lbs pressure. Some may feel that is to low but for us it works fine and I don't have to worry about the hose.

I have to wonder if there's a hose made that you couldn't apply that comment to. My biggest question with the comment is what does constant pressure mean? Is 12 hours constant pressure? A week? All season? It seems like there needs to be a time associated with that comment for it to be of any value.

I wanted one to use as our main supply hose instead of the basic white RV hose. I contacted the company and this is the email reply that I got from them>>>>So I decided against it for.

We do not recommend leaving your hose under constant pressure and print a caution on the backs of our labels against using in this manner. Leaving a hose under pressure for extended periods of time can cause the inner core to weaken, eventually making the hose bubble and burst.

Please plan your product needs accordingly.

The hose will generally stay in whatever shape you leave it in but because it collapses, there does need to be a bit of straightening for it too not kink and restrict the water flow. Once water is flowing though you can keep it in a loop on the ground.

Can the zero-g hose be left partly coiled up when in use rather than fully laid out and still be fully usable? We often have some portion of our standard 25 ft hose coiled up under the coach when in use.

I own that hose as well. As long as it is available I will not buy anything else. It's been great and so compact for storage.

I have a 25' one and love it. Used three times and so far no issues. It'seems nice to be able to pick it up, drain it and toss in the bucket. No rolling it up, no fighting it and no kinks. There is a thread in the FR forums going on about the hose. Everyone who has one seems pleased.
