If you are preparing water for long term storage, it’s important that you use a Potable Water Hose; this reduces the risk of contaminating your water.
Regular non-potable garden hoses are made from unsafe, contaminated, recycled rubbers and plastics. Most modern garden hoses are made from PVCÂ (polyvinyl chloride plastic), and PVC has lead and other chemicals in it, you are putting yourself at risk for exposure to chemicals leaching out. Furthermore, there is potential for standing water in hoses to contain dirt, insects, or other material which should not be directly ingested. As water passes through garden hoses, it picks up some of these contaminants, and deposits them into your container. Over time, this can compromise your water.
This water-safe hose is BPA and Phthalate free, and also doesn’t give your water that ‘garden hose taste’. The hose is reinforced for maximum kink resistance, is durable and is UV stabilized to last a long time. You can also use these hoses for camping, RVing, gardening, washing your vehicle, watering livestock and much more.
The hose’s ends are compatible with most standard garden hose connections, and the patented hose armour will protect it from breaking at the connections. Hose assembly is lead and phthalate free.
Tips:
Always flush your water hoses with plenty of clean and fresh potable safe water before filling any of your water storage containers.
Store the potable water hose with the ends connected together to prevent contamination during storage.
