Camco 22823 TastePURE 10' Premium Drinking Water Hose - 20% Thicker Than Standard Hoses (5/8" Inner Diameter)

Although I have not yet installed the hose on the reel I am using it on, it appears to be good quality and hold it's shape and does not easily ****. I purchased this because it is drinking water safe and it will be installed on a reel for transferring water from a truck mounted tank to drinking water barrels... so the stiffness of the hose (that I read about from other reviews) may make it not flatten over time like other hoses. I'll update this review if it doesn't work out.

While hose shopping I was puzzled by all the hoses that may or may not be safe for drinking water. I didn't want to worry about telling friends and family not to drink from the hose so I bought this one. I will definitely use it for any and all hose needs and expect it to last awhile. It looks and feels good and solid. I spent a little extra for the cool blue color and machined fittings. For the price this seems like a great deal. The only reason I didn't give a perfect score is because I wanted a 75' hose so I bought a 50 and a 25. I was also a little surprised by the strong plastic / rubber odor that came with my first big drink, but expect that to go away with time and use. You may want to run more water through before having a sip.

I'm sure it's a better grade of hose but I wasted my money thinking this was the taste free blue water hose. It tastes worse than the white ones...disappointed to say the least.

Our current water hose for the RV is this hose, only 5 years old. The old one finally blew out and this is a replacement for it. I could have bought any hose but chose this one because the last one wore well, lent no off-flavors to the water and was a good hose. So, not only do I recommend this hose to others, now I have bought it a second time.

This is hose is high-end quality. Finally a hose with stainless fitting that work and will not fatigue. Hose does need to be flushed for a few minutes to remove the "new" taste. I use this to fill my RV and also will be used to fill plastic 55 gal drums at home for emergency drinking water.

The hose itself is nice and the fittings seem well made, but the swivel is so tight and slick that if your hands get wet you can't turn it.

Nice hose. What kind of review can you give to a hose? Water ran through it as expected!!! Arrived in good shop and on time.

Great product.. fast shipping.

We were very pleased with the quality of the fittings on the ends of the hose. It was definitely worth the price. We had gone through many of the cheaper fresh water hoses and they just didn't last long and they would leak at one end or the other.

i bought a 25 ft and a 35 ft 3 years ago when i got tired of replacing the cheaper hoses that most campers recommend these blue hoses last longer they have heavier connectors on each end and are easier to tighten up even in campgrounds that have worn out connections they are just a better hose for camper use
