Is anyone using the Silver Bullet Hose? If so how do you like it?

I use my tank all the time so I think it could be a good hose. I will keep it in mind if my Zero G goes bad. I do love the Zero G hose.

^The damage tends to be to whatever other metal it's in contact with - Not the aluminum itself.

Product info says that the fittings are aluminum.

Aluminum is very chemically reactive with many other metals - quickly causes corrosion or rust.

Not a good choice for hose fittings.

Some other hoses also use aluminum, but add a chemically inert "buffer" where it comes in contact with other metals.


Funny, I have had mine from the mountains to the Oregon coast and the fittings are still fine!

Thanks for this info...I looked up the link & I like this much better that the Silver Bullet Hose...


We use Zero-G also great hose. DD uses one in her horse barn and beats the heck out of it and still working great!

Most of these type hoses tend to restrict water flow as they need the pressure to expand the hose. I have one in the RV and one at home. Useful for casual use, but if you want a lot of flow, not so good.

Manufacturer says do not leave it pressurized except when using it so not recommended for continuous hookup. I use one for filling the water tank and for washing down. It's important to note on the label that it is approved for potable water, some of them are not.

Ok for things like washing the RV and other uses where it is NOT connected to the RV but not recommended for use as an RV fresh water supply hose.

WHY: Heaven forbid the park loses pressure (happens a lot) the hose will try to retract down to "storage" size and I've heard (Never seen but never gave my expanding hose the chance) that they can pull the water inlet off the Rig.

Knowing (As I do having worked on mine) how they are attached.. I suspect... it can.
Home was where I park it. but alas the.

Earlier hoses like this Silver Bullet Hose had weak connections at the bib ends. Silver Bullet at house works good, but I do release pressure when not in use.
