Potable Water Hose
I should mention it is highly recommended to install a pressure regulator at your spigot on the pedestal as many marinas do not have one. The pressures are rather high sometimes which puts unnecessary strain and creates swelling of the hose. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07X4B88RF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Came across an American company by the name of Eley. The hose is definitely much better quality than anything out there in a "Drinking water Safe" type. More expensive but as with most things you get what you pay for. Just thought I would share my findings. https://www.eleyhosereels.com/collections/garden-hoses
Not sure I want to use this as my travel hose as it may not be pliable enough for my taste. I have 2, 25' 5/8" Zero-G hoses for travel which I can screw together for those long connections if required. Works very well. https://www.lowes.ca/product/garden-hos ... e3EALw_wcB

Re: Potable Water Hose
I've heard of Eley hoses before and have been keeping an eye on Amazon.ca but they're never available, the listing is there but out of stock. I haven't contacted them directly but their site still says they don't ship internationally including Canada. Too bad they don't have a Canadian distributor.

Re: Potable Water Hose
Yes the Zero-G is drinking water safe. I prefer the black one available at Lowes since it is 5/8" ID as opposed to the more common blue one at Walmart and most everywhere else which is 1/2". Oddly enough the 25' length is hard to find where as 50', 75', & 100' are common place.

I thought about that however I would need to take it apart come winter as they allow nothing on the docks. Other issue is it may be treated as a trip hazard although a hose is even worse but normal on a dock. Need about 28' to reach my hose bib from the boat connection.
