Greater than one weekReplaced a 5 year old identical hose because it became brittle with constant exposure to the sun. I put a section of fire hose over the end that is exposed to direct sunlight and it has been doing very well holding up.I would definitely recommend, but if exposed to direct sunlight cover it up to make it last longer.

Greater than one weekDefinitely meets the premium standard and I used this in conjunction with the Camco water filter to fill my potable water tank. Easy to use and perfect fit without any leaking or needing plumbers tape. Nothing critical to add, but I only wish there was a size longer than 25, but shorter than 50. Just a little extra would be more convenient, but not a deal breaker. I’m very impressed and happy with this purchase. I’ve bought hoses before that I’ve thrown out because the material is lousy. Really like this one.

> 3 dayThis is a great hose with no rubber or vinyl taste to the water. I use it on my travel trailer and bought a second one for my house. The hose connections are cast metal, and not stamped. So they are really sturdy. One thing that you can run into is that the cast hose female connection is pretty deep, so you may have some instances where you cannot get the hose to seal on a spigot. Typically just adding a second rubber washer inside the hose connection fixes this problem. I keep a hand full of rubber washers in our trailer to make sure they are always there for doubling up or replacing one that breaks. The only reason I have not given it 5 stars is that I have not really tested out how well it works on continued use under pressure and exposed to the elements. I have been using in our trailer on many trips for a year so far with no problems.

> 3 dayWorks but it is stiff and the memory of rolled up coil is hard to extend. Would recommend one of those expandable hoses over this.

> 3 dayIt did kink at first a couple of times. But we left it in the sun to get it more malleable and that took care of the issue.

> 3 dayThis hose is of excellent quality and will last a lifetime, I believe. My only complaint is that the hose is so strong that it is rather stiff and difficult to roll up. I have just been using this for one season, however, so perhaps it will become a bit more flexible over time. I prefer the stiffness issue to the problems I have had with lesser hoses, however, including kinking and mildew/mold. This hose appears to stay cleaner because of the impervious nature of the outer material. A fine product.

> 3 dayThe ends of this hose are quite sturdy, unlike many hoses which only have thin, brass fittings which will begin to leak almost immediately and deform at the slightest impact. We were not able to discern any taste what so ever when using this hose for the first time, and none since then either. There is a strong tendency to curl, but that is actually nice when it comes time to wind it up and store it at the end of the camping trip - it is almost self-draining due to the curl, so stowing is relatively dry and very easy. We will be ordering a second 25 hose so that we can reach the outlets in older parks more easily.
