Garden hose

[AJ460]

Thinking about using a gardon hose to bring saltwater from my mixing station in the basement to my display tank on the first floor does anyone see a problem with using a NEW garden hose

Try to get one made for RV. They are meant for drinking water. The other ones have chemicals to stop mold etc.

Get a drinking water hose from the RV dept at WalMart or a RV supply store. They are often white or light blue colored so you can distinguish between the potable drinking water hose and the garden hose.

I am not sure if this is relevant but I read online before not to drink from a garden hose because a study was done and they contained led.

+1 on the drinking water hose. If you ever drank out of a cheap garden hose on a hot summer day, yuck! I would never want to put that in my tank or me ever again.
