I will bet money the fitting is just a quick connect and unscrews.

I don't like the old white hoses that are Marine/RV hoses...they get gummy too fast in the hot sun and are heavy and kink.

I say a new nylon covered hose in a Kmart that had promise...but like anything in the sun...it get used up fast...but it is a lot lighter, doesn't kink and is just as inexpensive.

The question on drinking water safe is a personal one. I am in the camp of wh cares as the water I drink isn't water that has been sitting in the hose and if it is a little...it goes through a 2 stage filter on board capable of removing all but the slightest items that might be present.

My white marine hoses are always full of algae and no problems so far....but this is the last year of them anyhow.
