Purpose-built for RVers, boaters, and outdoor enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on water quality. The TastePURE hose delivers truly taste-free, odor-free potable water from spigot to faucet -- with the certifications to back it up.
Most standard garden hoses leach plasticizers, phthalates, and other chemicals directly into your drinking water. The Camco TastePURE hose is engineered specifically for potable water delivery. Its NSF-certified PVC formulation is lead-free, BPA-free, and phthalate-free -- meeting NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 for drinking water system components and NSF/ANSI 372 for lead-free content. That means it meets or exceeds federal and state-level safe drinking water requirements across all 50 states.
At 10 feet long with a 1/2-inch inner diameter, this hose is a practical choice for campsite hookups, marina slips, and seasonal storage setups where a shorter, manageable hose handles the job. The reinforced PVC wall resists kinking even when routed around corners or coiled for storage, and UV stabilizers protect the outer jacket from sun-related cracking and brittleness over seasons of outdoor use.
Independently certified for drinking water contact -- not just claimed. Meets federal and all state lead-free laws under NSF/ANSI 372.
Formulated without harmful plasticizers. Safe for daily use by families, children, and pets without imparting chemical taste or odor.
Internal reinforcement layer maintains flow even when the hose is bent sharply or partially coiled -- no pinch-offs at the campsite spigot.
Designed to resist sun damage, surface cracking, and brittleness. Holds up through multiple camping seasons left exposed to the elements.
The TastePURE compound does not impart the plastic or rubber taste common in standard garden hoses. RVers and boaters consistently report no detectable off-flavors even after the hose sits in summer heat -- a direct result of Camco's NSF-certified PVC mix rather than standard PVC.
Both ends of the TastePURE hose use standard 3/4-inch Garden Hose Thread (GHT), the universal connector used on virtually all North American campground water pedestals, RV city water inlets, and marina dock bibs. No adapter is required for typical hookups. The fittings are drinking-water-safe and designed to thread on without tools in most conditions.
The 10-foot length is suited for sites where the water pedestal is close to the RV's city water connection, or as a dedicated short run between a water filter and the RV inlet. For longer runs, Camco also offers TastePURE hoses in 25 ft and 50 ft lengths with the same certifications and construction. Hoses can be coupled end-to-end using a standard 3/4" GHT coupler (sold separately).
