Replacing Fresh Water Hose

How often do you replace your fresh water hose? Probably being paranoid about what may be growing inside. Perhaps flush with chlorine solution?

    You still have an older T@B- right?   Do you mean the fill pipe from the fill port on the driver's side? I only ask because I don't have a clue on how water is put into the tank with a nautilus.  I add somewhat diluted bleach through that tube when I annually "sanitize". I also don't actually drink water from my tank. And hello. 

    I just realized you probably mean "garden hose rated for potable water."  sorry.   I never replace it, but do make a very real effort to gravity drain all water from it.

    It's probably not a bad idea to hang it somewhere, fill with a little diluted bleach, and let it sit for a bit before rinsing well. Same goes for any jugs you use to fill the fresh water tank. I do this with mine... sometimes. I don't get too knotted about it because these items get flushed well with use and typically do not remain wet for long periods of time. YMMV.

    Our hose has not been replaced.  We do sanitize our fresh tank and plumbing.  We don’t drink from our tank.
