Like the commenter above said … having that water sit stale in about 50 feet of hose for about a week or two or longer and depending on where it was placed, being heated by the sun and cooled every night.
As a rule of thumb, if you ever want to try this, run the hose for about five minutes first.
Five minutes? It should take about 30 seconds to run numerous gallons through. I think project farm was testing hose nozzles and he was getting 5 gallons in less than a minute.
Ah, I saw this and was thrown off because I grew up on a farm where the hose was used for everything. In thinking about it, my better judgement wouldn’t consider drinking from the hose I keep at the apartment for a second, even if I’d been using it all day 🤢. That sits for months at a time gathering who-knows-what.
That’s not always the case. If a house has a well and later gets water from a utility, they will often keep exterior taps running well water because it’s a lot cheaper than abandoning the well. So, technically, you could have water that’s safe to drink inside the house but still have unsafe water outside.
Also, if the house has filters or other water treatment that generally isn’t used for the exterior (though that’s typically more about taste and mineral content, rather than anything hazardous).
The tap outside is the same water you drink from the tap inside why would you need a filter

5 minutes!? Jesus Christ, it clears out in about 10 seconds.
Run it until it’s cold. You don’t need 5 minutes.

Apparently it’s the hose that’s the problem, something about it breaking down or whatnot.
Well obviously, it’s probably depressed from getting called a hoes all the time.
People used to eat lead paint chips, too. Now they run our government.

The garden hoses are made out of PVC, and It leaches into the water passing though it
That’s the hose flavor
