Warning number 2: Unless you own the hose and you got it from inside your boat, you have no idea what else it has been doing or where it has been. Usually at least twice a year I found someone has “borrowed” my hose or otherwise unwound it and left a lot of it underwater. Who knows what nasty stuff grows in there. When I find it this way I usually pour a quart of bleach into it and run it back and forth and then purge it. Lately I have just had one hose for drinking water that stays below and the dock hose is for cleaning chores. Speaking of cleaning, don’t mix up the fresh water hose and your salt water washdown hose either!
