“Fresh” water

[Russellvh]

Being full time and changing Parks every couple of weeks, means I use several different hoses, as needed, for city water. I do try to drain as much as possible but I got to wondering how much mold etc. might be growing in the unused hoses between uses.

Do you do anything special to clean and / or dry your hoses when moving?

I blow through one end until dry then coil and screw itself together. I never use city water hook up or drink the water onboard.

I use My own hose. The system you tap has enough free radicals to keep the hose clear of things growing in it.

How I handle the hose supprises some people. I maintain the free radicals by coiling the hose with water intact, screwing the ends together. This keeps spores from finding there way into an open plumbing circuit (hose).

If i know my drinking connection hose is going to be sitting a while I pour a little bleach in it and connect the ends. Next time it's used I just rinse it out we'll before connecting to the rv.

I do the same plus I flush the hose and park plumbing for about 10 seconds (or until cool water comes out if we are parked in the heat) before attaching it to the coach.
