 Great Drinking Water Safe Hose May 27, 2008

Great Drinking Water Safe Hose. Since some people use a short hose for filing RV and boat tanks more gallons per minute with the thicker hose means quicker fill ups.

I don't own this particular hose, but thought I would share some information with buyers.
There are 2 things that contain lead in hoses, the minor contributor is the recycled plastic in the vinyl and the major contributor is the brass couplings at the ends. Manufacturers don't add lead to the plastic, but some is present in the recycled material. Lead is added to the brass to make it more malleable so they can form it into the desired shape.
This specific hose is a failure in its conception. Why make the hose material drinking water safe, but then put on brass couplings that have lead in them? It's contradictory. It says drinking water safe, but then has a warning label on the back from California that says causes cancer, do not drink from this hose. Hilarious. Apparently only California cares about its citizens, as other states don't care if you drink water with lead in it.
Only buy "drinking water safe hoses" that have medical grade vinyl and nickel-plated or non-brass couplings.
they do not stand by their warranty. March 26, 2008

I purchased the hose about 5 years ago and it worked fine for a couple years. Into the third year the male end blew off. Kept the end and used the hose to wash the soap off my autos for a couple of years. When I needed a hose for my camper i decided to take advantage of my lifetime warranty. Even though the hose had their name one it clearly identifying it they said I had to have the original receipt and packaging. How stupid. Thermal paper receipts disappear in a year's time. And keeping the packaging? If i kept the packaging for every item purchased with a lifetime warranty I wouldn't be able to get in my house. Ok hose, but make a copy of the receipt and store it and the original packaging in a dark dry area like a bank vault($$) so if you need to take advantage of the warranty you will have all the necessary materials.

This hose has a very small warning label hidden inside the wraping that says do not drink from this hose,and wash hands after using. may contain lead and chemicals which can cause cancer and birth defects. now isn't this a hose everyone should want
