Excellent point, Keith.

Also somewhat off-topic...filtering not only removes chlorine, but it
also removes other things added to municipal water--notably flouride.
Adding flouride to municipal water had all but eradicated tooth decay,
especially in children...but due to the huge increase in the use of
filtered and bottled water, dentists have reported seeing a major
increase in tooth decay, especially in children, again.

another story entirely...

Wow, that's something I never even thought of.

You would think they might make a mention of that on the label somewhere ...
yeah, I know.

Use Shields or Trident white or black (white costs less and is just as
good) potable water/sanitaion hose, Donny. Do NOT use clear water
hose...it lets light in, which encourages algae growth.

Thanks, Peggie.

Where's the cheapest place to buy the Shields online, and what part
number is best for this? It's 1/2" inside diameter hose.

Thanks

Donny, who's really reading your book!

West Marine is the only source I know of for Shields. I don't keep track
of their part #s...just look up potable water/sanitation hose.

I went to their website, and all the hose they suggest for potable
water non-pressurized systems are clear.?

Take a look at this link, and tell me which one is best, if you would.

I dunno what their recommendations are based on...I've seen plenty of
black and white hose used in potable water systems. You might check the
Trident site too.

Clear would be OK, as long as it isn't exposed to sunlight.

OK, I did, they say clear too! ARGHH!

I trust you, Peggie, not them. I have a brand new Raritan PHII sitting
next to me, waiting to go into the boat to prove that.

Which Shields hose would you suggest, I'll just order it.
