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.

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.

[–] cynar@piefed.social 6 points 3 days ago

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.

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.

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.

Just looked him up. He reminds me too much about the tv-shop salespeople. Kinda yelling at me, speaking really fast and stopping just a bit too long after the end of a sentance.

Idk, might be super cool though.

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.
