Camco TastePURE 25-Foot Premium Drinking Water Hose | Features a No-Kink Heavy-Duty Design with Machined Fittings for Extra Strength, 5/8” ID, and is Lead-Free, BPA-Free, and Phthalate-Free (22833)

Good quality drinking water hose that leaves no taste in the water. This is my 3rd hose from Camco. I have the 50 foot hose and the 10 foot hose and now the 25 foot hose. You never know how far you will be from the water source at a campground. I like the larger diameter for the increased water flow. It is a little harder to roll up due to its thicker wall diameter but that also helps it from getting kinks in it or getting damaged when laying out on the gravel of a campsite. UPDATE 7/24/16 After using this hose multiple times it has gotten kinks in it as I roll it up. I have to fully unroll it and work on each of the kinks to get it straightened out. I have gone back to using the lighter weight white hose by Camco for daily travels. I still use the blue one at my seasonal campsite where it stays connected a month at a time. The white light weight one is better when you are traveling and connecting/disconnecting/rolling up on a daily basis.

Supposed to be a drinking water safe hose, but the city water had a terrible chemical odor and taste within 3-4 weeks in the Calif sun if the water has been in the hose for even an hour or so. And thats even with a brand new CAMCO water filter following the hose!! In order to get rid of the taste/odor, had to run the water for several minutes. In my opinion, if you can smell and taste chemicals, I dont believe its safe to drink that water! In the last several years that Ive been using various brands of drinking water hoses, most will last at least 6-12 months before leaving bad chem smell/taste. This one didnt last 4 weeks! Very dissatisfied and returned.

The ends of this hose are quite sturdy, unlike many hoses which only have thin, brass fittings which will begin to leak almost immediately and deform at the slightest impact. We were not able to discern any taste what so ever when using this hose for the first time, and none since then either. There is a strong tendency to curl, but that is actually nice when it comes time to wind it up and store it at the end of the camping trip - it is almost self-draining due to the curl, so stowing is relatively dry and very easy. We will be ordering a second 25 hose so that we can reach the outlets in older parks more easily.

I have only used this a couple of times but it has worked great so far. I recommend having another length in case you need a longer run and an orange one to use to clean out the sewer lines and accessories as you would not want to use your fresh water hose for that and it would be easy to identify.

Worked perfect for my home birth. Never drank out of it, but needed a fresh water hose to fill the birthing pool. It did the job. Now we use it in the backyard for our 3 year olds water table and play sprinkler. He’s drank the water from it quite a bit but has no feedback but isn’t complaining on the taste which is rare lol

I’ve use this brand of hose for hooking up to drinking water while camping. I’ve had good wearability and no problems with them other than aging out after 25 years. I recommend them.

Aside from the strong and seemingly durable connectors, the most important aspect of this hose is that it adds no smell or taste to the water. Far better that the white hoses with a blue line.

Works exactly as we needed it to. Our first camping trip in our travel trailer was a success!

Works great!

Love this hose. I love to garden and was tired of buying hoses that leached plastic into the water and had the water taste like plastic. This hose is great and is food grade so no more leaching plastic in the water and the water tastes great right out of the hose. Hose is not heave and I can move it from the front yard to the back yard with ease. Highly recommend this hose
