Camco TastePURE 25-Foot Premium Drinking Water Hose | Features a No-Kink Heavy-Duty Design with Machined Fittings for Extra Strength, 5/8” ID, and is Lead-Free, BPA-Free, and Phthalate-Free (22833)

Worked perfect for my home birth. Never drank out of it, but needed a fresh water hose to fill the birthing pool. It did the job. Now we use it in the backyard for our 3 year olds water table and play sprinkler. He’s drank the water from it quite a bit but has no feedback but isn’t complaining on the taste which is rare lol

Few (UPDATES)... Bought both, The HD Valterra 5/8 hose on first impression wins this one... a noticeably better product, all-round, with full flow through fittings match hose ID, my concern. (UPDATE: the brass or alloy male connection end is of a quite soft thin pressed out brass type metal. Caution dragging! I messed up my male end a little already, oops-). The HD Camco hose fitting connections are not full hose diameter. Both appear to be 1/2 ID restrictive fitting, but are machined sturdy and sharp cut threads. Many hose makers use restrictive fittings, and they are not desirable when long hose runs are necessary with multiple connections, at lower fresh water inlet pressures. Both the HD Camco and Valterra ends are attached well, but the machine sharp threads, and loose chrome plating flakes inside the Camco hose were not desirable, IMO. Also, IMO, machined sharp threading into other softer materials tend to cross thread, ie: plastic and other cast fittings. The HD Camco hose material does not feel or appear to match the 20% better claims as listed and on packaging. This Camco HD hose feels thin and the reinforcement appears almost as graphically embossed vs. the visible thread mesh inside the thicker feeling hose material of the Valterra HD hose. Both hoses are very stiff when cold. Camco hose felt like it would crack if forced. (UPDATE: the VT HD hose tends to take a set and kink quite easily in hot summer weather. Valterra HD hose coiling for storage during hot weather gets kinda weird. The HD Camco stiffer material hose may perform better in the summer heat.) Valterra HD hose packaging states a 10 year warranty, and feels like it will make it. The Camco HD hose... a limited 1 year package claim. IMO, the 5-6$ more for the Valterra 25 -5/8 hose is worth it, many of Val. products are. I exchanged my Camco hose for their dual axle wheel twist clamp stabilizer... its simple, light, and handy, but needs to be checked every few days while in use. Happy trails.

Ive had trouble with hoses in a particular location in our yard developing a stagnant water smell in the water remaining in the hose. I had to run the water to flush out this water before I could collect fresh smelling water. I had tried a few different hoses from Costco and OSH and they all developed this smell so I thought Id give these a try. What a nice change!! Ive been using these for more than 3 months and have absolutely no issues with the water remaining in the hose. It comes out smelling fresh immediately. Ive bought more and replaced all of my hoses with these. I love them!

Thats it. They are great hoses, but almost impossible to use if the temps drop. I am shopping for something new.

I use this for an RV, and it lasted a couple of seasons (light usage). But one day it split in the middle and luckily a neighboring RVer saw the flooding and turned off the water. I have no idea why it split, so cant rate it as highly as I would have. But I did get another one for replacement, so Im giving it another chance.

okay i admit it. im in love with a water hose. i love the fact that every aspect of this hose is well thought out & intentional -- not someones afterthought or soul-less effort to add more confusion to the marketplace. this beautiful camco water hose is drinking water safe, the machined fittings do not wear or leak or leach lead into the water, its both light weight & strong, theres no residual plastic taste to the water, it doesnt kink after you lay it straight in the sun, the larger 5/8 diameter allows greater water volume, its inexpensive, and it comes in a beautiful royal blue. whats not to love? i mean, its like the perfect man -- uhm, except its a water hose.

I’ve had this for years I’m im just now catching up on reviews. Mine has lasted through heat, and freezes for 5 years or more and still going strong however I do store it out of the sun

Unfortunately due to the packaging I didn’t notice this had two female ends until we were at our campsite, making me have to drive back into town to buy a cheaply made but expensive one from farm supply store. Make sure you check yours before getting on the road.

Aside from the strong and seemingly durable connectors, the most important aspect of this hose is that it adds no smell or taste to the water. Far better that the white hoses with a blue line.

Works great!
