Looking at water hoses for next season and making my Christmas list. Thinking about getting a Zero-G hose but not sure which one.

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

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

Which one is best for travel trailer use?

I contacted the manufacturer of the Zero G to ask if I should use the RV hose for our trailer. Here is their response:

Thank you for your inquiry.

All of the Zero-G hoses that we make are drinking water safe, made from all virgin materials. The 1/2" diameter ones (as opposed to the 5/8" ones) are simply marketed differently. There is no difference in manufacturing, except for the inner diameter. It would be a personal choice whether you want the Zero-G RV/ Marine hose or the regular Zero-G hose.

Hi Joe,

Thank you for your inquiry. If you have the hose hooked up to an RV and are using a pressure regulator with it, it will work there is notice on the label that the hose is not meant to be left under pressure while unattended but in this application there is an exception.
