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)

Wish the female end had a rubber grip end on it. The stainless steel nut is sometimes hard to remove from the hose bib when your hands are wet. The nice thing about this hose is that there is no rubber taste from the water.

The 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.

This is the second one weve had. The first one remains in good condition after multiple years outdoors. Weve used it for moving both potable water and maple sap (pre-product for syrup). No aftertaste. Stays clean inside. Resists sunlight well. Ends are durable. Never had any problems with kinking, flattening or leaks. Only challenge was that when its new, it can be hard to unroll until it gets good and warm the first time. This time, well run hot water through it for a few minutes and stretch it once. I expect that will suffice. Well buy another one when the time comes.

Did not add a taste or odor, and the the water flows. Success.

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!

We dont use hoses for our drinking water while camping at RV parks, just for showering and dish washing. We use bottled water (from from home water system) for drinking so I cant comment about water flavor from this hose. The construction seems to be good but we only use them for a 2 week duration maybe 8 times a year. I do NOT recommend the use of these hoses if you need to store them in your RV if you are disconnecting when the temperature is below about 45F (7C). Recently, I tried to roll up this hose for storage in my RV when the temp was 38F (3.3C). With difficulty I was able to bend the hose without any apparent damage but it insisted on returning to straight. I gave up after 10 min and hung the hose unrolled on my roof ladder with just one bend secured with bungy cords. Later on the road after the temperature increased, I was able to roll it up and store it properly. Next time I will be using an electrically heated hose even if the the low temperature doesnt go below freezing.

I needed a food safe water hose. This hose is very stiff, hard to work with and difficult to coil.

Love this hose for my RV water supply line! I recommend rolling the hose out before first time using it, it is a little stiff at first. This is the best hose for water supply to an RV in my my experience, I have tried several.

Every hose Ive had in the past 10 years would send a foamy mixture out that was quite evident when squirting into a bucket or against a tree. The longer the hose is in the sun the longer it then takes to flush out all the foam. I am getting rid of all my hoses and replacing them with the Camco hose. I am passing this health information along to all I talk to about this issue. I will be purchasing more of these. Thank you for thinking of human and animal safety and the environment!

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.
