The finest quality polyurethane coil hose ever made. The Coil Garden Hose is the perfect hose for smaller watering needs on the porch, patio, containers and small gardens.

It looks like its safe to me. We really like how it's easy to store etc.

I didn't intend to be picking on your hose, it just happened to be a convenient target. It is just too bad they didn't make it white with a blue stripe.

My real point is that it is not a good idea to use any old hose.

I had a similar but probably lesser quality hose that I used to carry for the water supply hose to our sewer solution. However I store the tank draining stuff in the shallow bumper drawer. It turned out that a regular hose worked better, because it stores flat.

I would have to second the idea of running a 3/4 PVC pipe. Not sure of your weather is like in tx, but here in Fl you just need to bury the line a few inches under ground. It think it would be worth the time and energy, and your friend would then have a water line to their barn.

Personally I think some people worry too much.

I agree with AWCHIEF.
You could be killed by falling space debris tomorrow. Or collide with one of those huge motor homes going down the road at 80+.
Why sweat the small stuff?
Don't Worry; Be Happy;
Enjoy the Day. It could be your last. And it won't be because you drank from a garden hose.
You probably have better odds than trying to win the 1 Billion $$$ from Warren Buffet.

1. All bleeding stops eventually.

2. No one gets out alive.

This is turning extremely amusing.

1. Member asks what type of hose to use for drinking water.

2. He is told that he should use a hose rated for drinking water.
That seems like a responsible reply.

3. Others now advise him to drink out of any old hose, because he will die sooner by being hit by space junk or a speeding out of control motorhome.

Advising another that it is best to use a product that is made for the purpose at hand, is not excessive worrying, its simply common sense.

Personally I don't care what you or he drinks out of. You can drink out of the black water drain hose for all I care. However when someone asks my advice about what to do in any situation, I will give that person advice that I consider safe and responsible. I will then walk away knowing that whether or not he choses to follow my advice and no matter what the results are I gave safe and responsible advice.

My intent is not to please you. My intent is to please myself by doing what I feel is the correct thing.

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid to answer that for fear of being called a worry wart.

However if you should chose to do that, my advice would be to spit out the chunks.

Oh yes we laugh now, but when I was at Fort Wilderness I saw an old guy with A SOB take his drinking water line and feed it down the stinky slinky to wash it out!! Then he rolled up his fresh water line an put it back in the carrying bag. I'm sure he was wondering why I was staring at him like he was a crazy person. Just thinking about it makes me queasy..

If he was alone, perhaps he was operating with the understandable believe that anything coming out of that pipe went into the tank as either good clean water or something that had already been inside him. So what could be the problem with it going back inside him again. However I do recall someone telling me once that simple logical solutions are not always the best.

I hate to ask where the waste water will go. It's hard to imagine having a suitable dump site nearby and not fresh water.

Oh Lord!

Let's hope he was playing a joke on you like the guy who washes out a mayonnaise jar, secretly fills it with vanilla pudding, and eats it quite publicly with a spoon at a picnic :-)

Oy!
