Hose

[JCNUFC1991]

Hello

Can anyone recommend a 10-15m flat hose on a reel which adheres to the highest food grade standards in the UK.

Just watched a video online of someone explaining that in Australia there are 2 food grades and the differences between the two.

Starting to wonder if what he’s saying is the reason our cups of tea and glasses of water taste different on the road to when we’re in the house

I would say there are two possible reasons. One is the pipework. But more likely the wide variations in water taste around the country.

You get used to you own house water.

Totally agree, I always find the quality of water here in Scotland, much better than the stuff down south 👍 Tin hat on.

I’m sure it’s the latter aswell but regardless we need a new longer hose so might as well get one if anyone can recommend one

100% the second reason. I don't use water from the Aquaroll / caravan for cooking or drinking, I use a plastic bottle, but I've even taken the kettle out and filled it directly from the stand pipe a couple of times - it still doesn't taste like tea at home.

All drinking water in this country has to be to a minimum potable standard. Nevertheless its taste will vary immensely. But the taste is subjective.

I have a gadget that indicates the quality of water. It doesn't tell you what's in it but indicates the amount of Total Dissolved Solids in it.

Amazon.co.uk

Readings below approx 300ppm are deemed to be drinkable. However low readings e.g 40 and below have little taste due to low mineral content. My house water measures about 60 and is ok but bottled water I've tested has been around 230 and tastes better.

By the way have you read about the issue in France regarding mineral water which, due to climate change, is now not straight from the source but undergoes filtration and purification. And they still charge large amounts of Euros for it, when you could probably do the same with tap water.

Peckham Spring anyone.😁

There’s been ongoing negative press about Perrier for some years, but the recent issue is about ““natural spring water” their core product that has been found to be filtered and uv’d too. The company have now rowed back on the level of filtration from 0.2 to 0.4 and ceased treating it with UV. They now await a ruling from the French regulatory authorities on their upcoming licence renewal such that they can continue to use the original description on their bottles. This principally concerns their main source, but increasingly some of their other products are not now described as containing “ natural spring water”

Is your water from a spring or well?
