Verdict In for Zero G Full Time Hook Up?

Did my due diligence and searched before posting. While a lot of RV'ers use the Zero G, I want to know if any full timers, who leave it hooked up for months on end, have had any issues, especially those in the warmer climes where UV is an issues. Supposedly the blue hose is for RV/Marine, but the website says both are safe for drinking. Besides, can't find a 25' blue on Amazon. Otherwise, looking for an alternative to my 50' white Camco which is a monster to roll and store. Thanks.

Cut the monster in 1/2 and install new ends. 2- 25' easy to handle hoses.

I bought a 50 footer. Impressed with the connection ends. They seem to be a grade above my 50' Camco hose. Very pricey but I may also replace my 25' Camco as well. I'll make my mind up over this summer.

I've had mine for maybe 8 months now. We used it in Florida in the winter and have carried with me on my meandery trip back to Pennsylvania.

We use it almost daily through all of that.

Still going strong. I like it.

What I've done.
When we bought the RV, it came with a 25 ft long white hose.
One day, we were too far from the tap, so I purchased a second 25 ft hose.
Back home, I splitted the second 25 ft in two sections of 10 and 15.
Now I can be at 10, 15, 25, 35, 40 or 50 ft away from the tap.
Easy to manipulate too.

Too easy and simple. Never thought about it. That's the plan. Thanks.

I use the zero G for the same reasons as everyone else.
However, I am still concerned with the health aspects. It claims to be lead free and safe for drinking.
Just in case, we usually carry jugs of drinking water.
Does anyone have specific information about this issue?
Thanks

Here's the 25 footer on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/ZERO-G-1-2-X-25/dp/B01N1FB8WV
It's $32.50, though.

The 50 footer is is 29.99 from Target:

If you have a Target nearby to pick it up, you can ship anything to the store for free.

Get the RV/Marine drinking water hose, it is certified safe.

Bought the 25' blue marine/RV hose from Walmart on line for $28. Now I'm just waiting for an RV to use it on!
