Is it safe to use normal garden hose for water??

even though i would be fine using a garden hose, i use the white water hose since they are cheap and i need them anyway.
we DO drink water from our FW tank, since we haven't been brainwashed into thinking that bottled water is necessary.:S
but i used iodine tablets to purify water when i backpacked in the Sierras. so, i think tap water tastes great.

i always say that my grandparents would be shocked to know how many people pay for water, when it virtually free from your tap.
