We made the wise choice to buy this hose right off the bat. The NeverKink hoses’ NTS Reflex Mesh technology ensures a smooth water flow without any annoying twists or knots, kinks or tangles in your water hose. Safety is the priority – this hose is lead-free, made with FDA-sanctioned materials, and its grip-friendly coupling guarantees an easy and leak-free attachment to any faucet. Ideally we’d carry two water hoses on board, one 75 feet in length for hard-to-reach water sources (more common than you’d think) and another 25 feet in length for usual hookup settings. It’s admittedly hard to manually lift and navigate a large hose in situations where you don’t need that much. However, if you can only afford to have one, we’d recommend the 75 footer to take care of your drinking water needs, and consider pairing it with a reel to maintain its quality with repeated use.
