Based on his description, I assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that the
white hose to which he referred was the AVS96. His description
corresponds to my experience with that hose.

Prob'ly not...'cuz SeaLand put a LOT of $$ in creating brand awareness
for their "OdorSafe"--and still does...the Aussies don't have anywhere
near that kind of resources for advertising...they've had to rely pretty
much on word of mouth. So a lot of people are buying OdorSafe--now
called "OdorSafePlus"--thinking it's the original (and believing
SeaLand's claim that it's even better)...only to find out it isn't. In
fact, not even close.

His comment about how expensive it was also leads me to believe it was
OdorSafe, not AVS96...'cuz SeaLand's price is about $9/ft...the Aussies'
price is only $5.50--about the same as black hose.
