Zero-G water hoses

I use the grey/black in every application, around the house and RV.....best hose I've owned.

Are you filling a tank or going to leave it under pressure at a campground type of deal?

Avoid the "zero G" version at home depot. The threads are plastic!!! I couldnt belive it. Never do this but used it on the job to wash some windows. Freakin thing caught an edge somewhere and popped. I felt responsible. Im also not rich so that 40 bucks was important to me. Returned it and the lady said she gets returns all the time.

I bought my mom a Zero G brand from lowes a couple years ago. Its still rockin. If going for that style of hose i would go to lowes instead of home d.

Blue RV/Marine hose is 1/2"; less volume and see complaints that it says do not keep under pressure? Aren't all RV hoses under pressure when in use?!
Blue Zero-G

This is the one that I use, and it isn't under pressure because I use it to fill my tank.

I am almost saying this too much anymore, but why are people afraid to use their built in fresh water tank?

Good point.
I leave the house with 60 gallons of fresh water each trip and use the campsite hydrant and hose to refill fresh water tank.....we're all different animals.

I'd be using this hose to connect to the city water at a campground. I like the 5/8" for the extra volume and don't drink the RV water anyway. Don't make coffee, etc either.

I'm not afraid to, but if I've got water at the site it's a heck of a lot more convenient to not have to even think about how much I'm using, plus there's no noise and vibration like with the pump.

I personally did not have good luck with the Zero G. I use the Flexzilla Garden Hose now. Very easy to work with.

Gray / Black "garden" hose says it's drinking water safe and it's 5/8"; more volume but more bulk to store
Gray Zero-G

One must ask the question.. Do I ALWAYS "need" 50 feet of hose???

My own personal use, no.

for me, some campgrounds 10' of hose works fine, some may need several 10' sections or so.

For long term usage and under constant pressure (especially HIGH pressure) I think you will find those "zero" hoses failing faster than plain old non woven types.

I carry three 10' white RV hoses and one white RV 25' hose, shorter hoses are much easier to handle and store than one single long hose. Counter intuitive to what you think!

For storing my hoses, I empty and coil them up and loosely couple the ends of each hose together, keeps dirt out of the ends and helps keep the hose from getting tangled up.

This way I only use the exact length of hose need, that 50ft of zero hose, you are going to have a lot of coils of hose laying about if your hydrant is only 10ft away from you..
