They work well for me, even in cold weather.

I have the 50' version and love not needing to coil it with any accuracy. Just stuff it in a box.
I replaced the female end after 2 years of use due to leaking.

Thanks all. I think I will try one.

Mine tends to kink more easily than a traditional one but not a big deal

I have been using them for several years on the RV and at home with no issues. Very easy to store.

All zero g hoses are drinking water safe. When you call them they will confirm this. Only difference of rv hoses is the color.

Two 25 ft hoses is better then a 50 ft, since 25 ft is usually enough and it's les pressure loss and easier to deal with.

5/8 is better then 1/2 inch. Again less pressure loss. Lowes sells 25 ft 5/8 Zero-g. Check the website for stock, since they sometimes run out.

Been using Zero G for the last 5 years with no problems. I liked them enough that I replaced all the hoses at the house with them.

I have 3 on my RV. 25' and 50' for fresh water. 25' for general use.

I hate the traditional white hoses.

I had a 50' 3/4" traditional hose for my macerator and hated rolling it to store. I now have a Flexzilla 75' 3/4" hose and love it.

Loved the older Zero-G hoses we purchased back in 2019. They gave out and ordered new ones 8ish months ago. Maybe got a pair of 25ft knockoffs that were packaged as Zero-Gs? The new ones had a different inner hose and I tossed them out......

Knock offs don't count.

Zero G made improvements like brass inserts in the aluminum ends so they can be mated to Bronze fittings without welding themselves to the fitting.

Also improved clamping of ends and I believe better internal tubing improvements the imptovements.

It wasn't a knock off..... The new ones were packaged as Zero-G hoses

I bought both the 25 and 50' one when an rv store had them on sale about 6 years ago. They are rated as drinking water and are blue. I thought I would get rid of white hoses.

The first time I used them in hot weather I had a hose tase. It only seems to get the hose tase when hooked up for awhile in the sun. So now I use the white hoses when hooked up to water. The 25' zeroG for filling my freash water tank. The 50' hose I use in my garage for the water that is on the softner.

NOTE: I have noticed that if I use a oder and tast filter I can get rid of the taste. By living in ohio and the state park system does a very good job of filtering, conditing and softing the water. I don't use a filter at the ohio stat parks.

Use a Zero G on both my boat ( hooked up and in Florida sun 24x7x365 and with my RV between 1 day and 14 in Florida to Texas to NJ summer sun with no "hose" taste.

Always thought the white RV and marine hoses were guilty of off taste as well as getting slimy inside.

I have to try a new zero-g hose. Maybe it was first generation issues or counterfeit from china.

I have had very good luck with the white hoses, also never saw slim inside. But they are a pain to roll up and store.
