Like the commenter above said … having that water sit stale in about 50 feet of hose for about a week or two or longer and depending on where it was placed, being heated by the sun and cooled every night.
As a rule of thumb, if you ever want to try this, run the hose for about five minutes first.
Five minutes? It should take about 30 seconds to run numerous gallons through. I think project farm was testing hose nozzles and he was getting 5 gallons in less than a minute.
I’ve mostly stopped watching, right around the time I stopped buying so much shit I don’t need, but I did see him testing the hose sprayers like that which is why I mentioned him.
Ah, I saw this and was thrown off because I grew up on a farm where the hose was used for everything. In thinking about it, my better judgement wouldn’t consider drinking from the hose I keep at the apartment for a second, even if I’d been using it all day 🤢. That sits for months at a time gathering who-knows-what.
At my childhood home, I wouldn’t drink the tap inside without a filter either. And my parents don’t trust it even if it has been through a filter. Only reason I’d drink directly from the outside faucet is if I’m really in need of water and there’s no other viable option.
That’s not always the case. If a house has a well and later gets water from a utility, they will often keep exterior taps running well water because it’s a lot cheaper than abandoning the well. So, technically, you could have water that’s safe to drink inside the house but still have unsafe water outside.
Also, if the house has filters or other water treatment that generally isn’t used for the exterior (though that’s typically more about taste and mineral content, rather than anything hazardous).
Ehh I have well water and the outside spigots bypass all the filtering/softening systems in my basement cause why burn filter cycles cleaning groundwater to spray back on the ground
The tap outside is the same water you drink from the tap inside why would you need a filter

5 minutes!? Jesus Christ, it clears out in about 10 seconds.
Some people are just really overcautious. I’m not sure why but Reddit was basiclaly known for that.
It depends on the hose and the flow rate. They can vary a lot.
Also, your not just clearing the stagnant water, but also anything that was growing in it.
Run it until it’s cold. You don’t need 5 minutes.

God I want to like him so bad! Like he tests all the stuff that’s right up my alley. But I can not stand his voice and jumpy editing.

Apparently it’s the hose that’s the problem, something about it breaking down or whatnot.
Well obviously, it’s probably depressed from getting called a hoes all the time.
Me talking to the garden hose:
