I love it, because it's drinking water safe and it winds up on a Home Depot cord spool.

That version is the home/garden hose. There is a specific model for RV/Marine, thats why the onle from Target is much cheaper. And yes there is a difference between the 2 hose models.

For those who pour the bleach in the hose thinking they are sanitizing the hose, I’m not sure it’s doing anything. The key to sanitizing the plumbing is letting it sit for a few hours. The 2 seconds the bleach is in the hose probably isn’t doing much.

I think I'm going to use Star San instead of bleach. I use it in my home brewing equipment. One ounce in 5 gallons of water, you only need one to two minutes of contact time to sanitize. And it's rinseless, so you don't have to waste a ton of water trying to flush the bleach odor out.

This would be a good separate thread!

Thank You. You are probably right, but bleach and extra work concern me more than hose germs, so I just flush with fresh water and use as is. Of course I don't drink the stuff, as it's not a good drink mixer. It does get into my coffee, so I hope it's "covfefe-free." If it don't kill me, it'll make me stronger.

I have 2-3 of the Teknor Apex NeverKink white hoses and I'm very happy with them. But I'm thinking of replacing my black tank flush hose with the standard black garden hose version of the Zero-G just because it's so compact and will fit much better in my sewer hose tub than the bulky garden hose I've been using.

Just don't leave the Zero-G's or the self-expanding hoses lay out in the sun for very long...

Fries them out!

Just lost another one last week!

Of course, I do live in the sunniest and probably one of the hottest citries in the US of A.

Have two of the 100-foot Zero Gs, which is what it takes to reach my camper parking spot at home.

Plenty of pressure for washing the camper, even at 200 feet.
