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.
