Great input - will definitely look into these options.
Realizing that I probably need some form of protection from the us/sunlight to keep the plastic from degrading. Either covering it or using a UV protector as mentioned above should help.
The bulky end connector won’t be ideal for our setup so will have to pass on that one option - or will have to deal with disconnecting the hose from the fitting in the bay. Currently I never disconnect the end in the bay, but just pull the entire hose back through the 4” access hole in the bottom of the bay as this alleviates any potential dripping in the bay. Then I just curl the hose up in that bay. (We have a separate black/gray bay from the water supply bay, so not concerned about having the hose in the bay)
Being full-time, hose in the sun 365 days a year, probably doesn’t help either.
