Call me old-fashioned, but when those temperatures start rising on hot and humid summer days, there's absolutely nothing more refreshing than a drink of cold water straight from the garden hose. Well, I guess I never thought about it, but it turns out that drinking from the hose isn't such a smart idea after all. It seems most regular garden hoses release small amounts of toxic chemicals from their inner walls and fittings and are completely unsafe for drinking water. I always thought that unique garden hose metallic taste was normal and added that little something extra while quenching my thirst...oops!

You, your dog and your plants can safely drink from the garden hose once again with the cool new Drink-Safe Garden Hose. This unique hose is made from safe, high-quality EPDM rubber and is FDA-approved for potable water use. It features an ergonomic handle, 5-ply reinforced construction and comes in your choice of 25' or 50' lengths.

Someone should invent a hose nozzle with a built-in water filter now.
