where to find hoses for waterbirth?

[mimim]

Where do I find drinking water safe hoses to fill my pool? I can't find anywhere IRL. I've tried Ace, Home Depot, Menards, and Target. None of them even knew what I was talking about when I asked for an"RV hose" or a "drinking water safe hose". I found a couple of places online, but the shipping is pricey.
Any other suggestions of places to try?

Also, do I really need 2? Or can I use the same one to fill and drain? Or could I get a cheap garden hose to drain?

My birth kit will be complete as soon as I get hoses, a couple of extra towels and washcloths, and chux! I'm getting so excited.

we used a brand new garden hose that we bought from home depot to fill before the birth and drain after our babe was born. we added and took away water during the birth with kitchen pots and bowls.

Hmm, I hadn't started looking... now you've got me wondering. Do you have an actual RV place around? We have a couple that sell RVs nearby, so I suppose if Ace can't help me, I could run up to them.

I would think a cheap garden hose would be good enough for the drainage, but that's JMO.

We used a "drinking water safe" to fill and a regular one to empty. I got the drinking water one at Target, though it was a little later in the season after they got out all their lawn and garden type stuff.

good luck,
