C'mon Rickey, one more post to reach 1000
Unless you bought a hose specifically labelled drinking safe, there are chemicals and lead in standard garden hoses which can make the water risky. The lead is a pigment stabilizer in the coloration. Especially an issue for children who are more sensitive to lead. And sadly not all labelled safe hoses are actually safe.
