Looking for Water Change Hose

[BeanMachine]

I have a 3/4 inch ball valve valve off of my mixing station.

I do have a pvc hose adapter to 3/4", but I'm not sure if I should use a hose like this? Most of the RV drinking water hoses are 5/8".

I can find a 75 or 100 foot 3/4 inch lead free hose (drinking water safe), but wondering if I'll introduce any metal over time? This will just be to fill the tank initially, and perform water changes.

Ideas?

I was looking at this hose. Was going to cut the one end off that enters the tank, and screw the other end into the pvc hose adapter at my station.

You can get a plastic 3/4” NPT hose connectors.

3/4” will go a lot faster than 5/8”. I’m looking for 3/4” hose too. I’ve been connecting 3 sections together for WCs but this one time they came apart and water went everywhere. It was wet and wife was mad.

Thanks, like this one? Your link looks like 5/8"

Which hose would recommend I get? Hoping for something a bit on the lighter side and flexible if possible.

So does this fit a 5/8 inch hose or 3/4" hose? I'm confused haha

Or both?

That means it will fit both. Most likely, the two screws clamps down if your hose is 5/8" or anywhere in between the two sizes.

Polyurethane is good.

Marine Depot used to sell a product called superflex PVC and then it was Ultra flex PVC but they no longer carry it. It is black and as flexible is vinyl tubing is yet you can use all regular PVC fittings and everything. It's really great stuff I actually ran over it with my truck and a hundred gallons of water in the back and it didn't even crush it. I have 70' if I recall. Great for when I used to do water changes. I have seen it a few places on line.

Don’t you need water in the tank before you need a hose to change it?

How about for pumping water into the tank? LOL

Now I'm leaning towards this-

I have about a 5’ section of this and I really like it. Better than any Ehiem or fluval hose I have ever used.

I need about 20’ if you want to split the box.
