I just bought the same brand of "air hose" and that works great too...you won't be disappointed in either one. The hoses lay absolutely flat and have no memory which makes them very easy to wind up/roll up in any temperature.

Also really like to Green Color, easy to see and not be trippin' all over the place...buy it, you'll like it toooooooooooooo!

This is actually stronger than straight Bleach or a higher concentration of Bleach to Water. Just make sure the hose, or anything else, is rinsed well with Clean Water!

My 100 foot Flexzilla air hose seems to want to jump out and catch my foot for some reason. It's like it waits for me to step over it and Wham O. I get all tangled up in it! Sharon said I need to high step better.

Great suggestion on the bleach. I just read where a diluted solution like you suggested actually works better than straight bleach does. Something about straight bleach can't penetrate the bacterial barrier as well as diluted.

I also found out the "Splash Less Bleach should not be used for sanitizing. Also bleach will lose its potency in about a month after it is opened. Diluted bleach deteriorates even faster.

True on all points...betcha can't figure out where I learned all about the Bleach thing!

There was another discussion on here a short time ago about hoses and after reading several reviews, I bought a 25' Zero G in January. We have used it on 3 trips so far and I LOVE this thing. No kink, easy to drain and fold up flat, light weight, the ends spin so it's way easier to hook up in tight spots or odd angles. Planning to buy another one (50') to have at the house and this would be a great Christmas gift I'm thinking for my RVing parents. I think you can always get a lemon in any line of products, but this Zero G seems to be a quality product.

DW usually hooks up the water hose while I am disconnecting from the truck she loves the zero G because it is so light. I carry 2 25' hoses.

A company called "Neverkink" offers a kink less hose

Been drinking out of non-potable water hoses most of my life and I'm still here.

Thanks guys, good info. Can wait to ditch those stiff white &#$%$

I always heard drinking out of a non-potable water hose would affect mental health?

Sorry my friend, I just couldn't help myself

In my younger days I always did like you did, and even drank right out of streams. But these days???I don't think so

My only concern about for the Zero G hose isit states "not recommended for constant pressure " ??????

allenb12 · 03-24-2018, 03:38 PM

I have had mine two years and no problem. I do have the marine and RV hose.

MSHappyCampers · 03-24-2018, 03:42 PM

I will never buy anything except the Zero G hose! It collapses fairly flat (not accordion style) and is easy to store. It is safe for drinking water, tested to 600 PSI, and has a 6-year warranty!
