Product review (5 stars): This is worth more than the cheap hoses
I needed something over 6' yet not susceptible to bad tasting ice or water. This hose is your answer. Skip the headaches of returning it to the store or running some crazy amount of water through it and just get this one. Don't just take my word, let the reviews speak for themselves. You should run water through it first to clean it out. I did a couple gallons or something but after that, everything tastes great and I've had no other issues.
