| Posted | Water changes using a garden hose |
| 02-09-2006 15:48 by keith t |
Have you ever tasted the water that has been run through a garden hose it tastes disgusting, the only way to describe it is that it has a perfumy taste to it. i imagine this is coz the hose is made out of rubber. Does this have any effects on fish or water quality. |

new hose has this effect, but once a few gallons have been pushed through it, its much cleaner.
also, make sure you empty the hose pipe after use, so no water stays inside. |

if youve got the weather iv got down here in essex where its very windy.. your gonna need to water those hanging baskets and pots in your garde (thats if you have one but then if you didnt you wouldnt have a garden hose) So water them with the new hose for a few days if it dont rain. That way youll make your new hose old and your plants all happy and jolly. |
