Water hose taste
How do you get rid of the plastic water hose taste in the water? I am using the white hoses made for potable water. I thought they weren't supposed to affect the water taste??

Some people are simply sensitive to the taste from the type of plastic potable water hoses are usually made from (vinyl).
The simple solution is to buy a hose that is labelled "taste free" like the Valterra one below. Taste-free hoses are made from a different material. There is no filter that will do anything to remove the plastic taste from a regular hose. Charcoal in filters is for removing chlorine odor/taste. Getting an NSF certified is a good idea - not sure if the Valterra is but there are other brands of taste-free hoses out there.
