AS for hoses - whilst we should be using a potable grade one, we're using an x hose that lives in a bucket in the gas locker. *note to self - give that a flush with bleach too*...Quaysiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04372015225898397642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946325688134943823.post-24264435691497065212017-03-29T01:40:14.268+01:002017-03-29T01:40:14.268+01:00Is your water "town" water?

Would only filter it for taste if it is bad, but then you can get used to anything. Being on a boat, from experience, the piping that the water goes through must be for drinking water, otherwise there is a taste. Always use your own dedicated hose for putting water into the tank and don't be tempted to use the one already attached to the tap if there is one.Catherine Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16237910499216174153noreply@blogger.com
