What hose did you use for filling tub?  

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
I am having a hard time finding a potable hose. I can find regular garden hoses that say do not use with hot water, hot water hoses that state in huge red letters do not drink out of because of chemical leaching. I need one that is at least 30 ft long so the small RV hoses are out. Last time we just used our garden hose but now our MW says we should really have a potable one. Help!

go to home depot tell them you need a 30ft peice of potable hose, and the equipment to turn one end into a faucet adaptor. thats what i did.

Can you link 2 together with some sort of adapter to get the length you need? Or have you asked the RV people if they can special order a longer one?

Definitely go with potable hoses...lead in the others!

I was just there today and they said the potable hose they have is not okay to use with hot water.

We got a rubber hose from Home Depot, our midwife just wanted us to make sure not to use a hose with PVC. Home Depot and ACE Hardware have it...

We found an RV hose. Though it may have been 20ft and not 30- we didn't need to go far.

Camping world in North Wilsonville has the rv hoses, they are 12 bucks a piece and you could put two of them together and they would be long enough. I could pick some up for you and meet you some day in portland next week?
