Do I need a special caravan hose for drinking water?

Yes. To ensure that your drinking water is untainted during transfer and is safe to consume, you should invest in a hose made from food-grade plastic (not a wastewater hose). The best drinking water hoses for caravan owners in Australia are manufactured following Australian Standard AS2070. This means that the plastic is guaranteed to be safe with potable water.

Can’t I just use a garden hose instead?

We do not recommend this. Ordinary garden hoses aren’t rated for potable/drinking water use – they may leech undesirable chemicals into the water as you transfer it into your tank. This can make the water taste quite unpleasant. More importantly, it may also make it unsafe to drink. For your safety and your family's safety, we recommend buying a caravan drinking water hose – they are relatively inexpensive and will last for 2-3 years if well cared for.
