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)

Very thick, as stated. A good thing I am sure, but also very stiff. The end connections were tight with no leakage, but very difficult to connect/disconnect. We had to use pliers, and it took a great amount of time to connect and disconnect from water source. I am sure it will get broken in, but my husband named it (and I cant type in that name!) :0. I am thinking coconut oil might help around the metal fitting lip, away from water flow. Anyone e else have this issue? Did it improve with use?

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.

I like that it did not leak at either end when connected. I did not like how stiff it is. Very difficult to unroll.

Perfect length for my needs, but the connection between the hose and the faucet drips even when the hose is running freely and theres no built up pressure. (Whereas usually with my old hose it only drips when the spray head is off but the water is on so there is pressure in the hose) It not a big deal because its just a slow drip, but still.

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!

Why was asked for its flavor? We it taste like a water hose. Please dont ask how I know what a hose taste like. Used to be in prison!

I’ve use this brand of hose for hooking up to drinking water while camping. I’ve had good wearability and no problems with them other than aging out after 25 years. I recommend them.

All good

Great hose, no kinks so far after a couple of uses

Excellent fresh water hose for my fifth wheel. This hose is specifically made and marketed as a drinking water safe hose. And RV camper needs a dedicated fresh water hose and this one received some very good ratings and works for my purposes.
