Unfortunately, you do need a different hose for each task when camping, to avoid contamination of your family’s water supply. When you’re going to buy a hose specifically to flush out your tanks, this is the one you want to have. This hose is purpose-built for flushing RV black water, grey water, or tote tanks, keeping impurities separate from your drinking water or garden hose. Its bright orange color ensures you’ll never confuse it with your regular hose, saving you time and trouble. Solid, compact, Camco construction. We approve.
