I've heard mixed opinions on using garden hoses to refill a tank during a water change. Some say definitely not, some say it's fine, some say if the hose is old it's good.
Well, my mom went to a plant swap today and got a "door prize"... a 50 ft hose. This hose is flat like a firehose, then gets round when the water is flowing through.. very light. lol, pretty neat.
Anyways, on the box thing it says "NEW AND IMPROVED FOR DRINKING WATER!".. caps n all. It also says "FDA COMPLIANT Connectors and Lining"
I've been planning on going to Lowes to get some hose and a faucet connector to make my water changes easier(Home Depot didnt have any of the hose i was looking for), but have been procrastinating because im saving money for a new tank... then voila!.. madre comes home with this! : ) it has a faucet connector, but it's a bit too big for my sink, so I just need to go down the street to Home Depot and get a connector part.
I guess my question is:
Are hoses that are safe for drinking.. safe for refilling an aquarium too?
