I’m so careful about my water that, not only do I carry and use two separate hoses, and never the two will meet (or be confused with one-another), I carry a small spray bottle of alcohol and spray down the fittings before hooking up. After the spray-down, I hook up at the faucet first, then run some water through the hose, ensuring that anything that may have been in the water line prior to the faucet is flushed out.
I also keep each one of my hoses hooked together at the ends, so nothing can climb inside while they are stored away.
Lastly, I carry a spare fresh-water hose, for use as a back-up, or an extension, if needed. I’ve only needed it once, but it was sure nice to have.
The spray bottle was about a dollar, at Walmart, and a quart of alcohol was less than five. I just refill the spray bottle from time to time.
Many years of RV experience, and never had an issue. What’s a few extra minutes, in the big picture? Nothing less is worth the worry, for me. Enjoying RVing is all about being as worry-free as possible.Last edited by Richter; 07-22-2019 at 07:32 AM.

Bacteria grows and travels best in moisture and warmth. When in storage between trips, it's a perfect setup for bacteria to travel. I personally would never mix black tank anything with any other water source. Even if the risk is low, the result could be devastating to anyone infected. Talking Cdiff (Clostridium difficile) among other bacterias.

I ordered the 3’ extensions from amazon mentioned in previous post. I received them today. They are the Flexilla hoses. I’d like to point out that the packaging states they contain lead which makes them not safe for drinking water. Therefore I ordered camco drinking water safe extensions. Those of you who are using the Flexilla hoses might want to reconsider.

Where are you seeing that? Picture?
My package said "Drinking Water Safe" and said nothing about lead. The Amazon product page says "lead free" though. Here's the exact some hose from Home Depot:

Under the specifications tab, it says it's lead free. Most of the lead in garden hoses comes from the use of brass fittings and ends. The ends on this hose are black anodized aluminum.Last edited by hartcentr; 08-04-2019 at 10:21 AM.

My mistake about Flexilla. It is drinking water safe just as it states on the packaging. Think I had a brain freeze. I’ve installed them and they work great. I apologize for my mistake.
