I thought I would add....I found Freshwater Systems to have the best pricing and various connectors needed.
ALL of my fresh water lines have been replaced as of last season. I went with reinforced clear plastic tubing from the ACE hardware store I frequent. Also acquired were a handful of brass male/female garden hose couplers with barbed ends. In the fall, all couplings are opened and the water drains into the bilge. Made up a short piece of tubing with a fitting on one end to attach to the pressure water intake. The other end goes into a gallon jug of RV antifreeze that draw up pumped to the hoses that were in areas that couldn't be accessed for a break apart fitting..
2 and a half gallon Poland Spring water jugs... stow very nicely and the spigot makes using easy. I wouldn't drink water out of a brand new boat's tanks.. Reverse osmosis tethered to a totally removable tank might work for me, otherwise it's bottled..
COVID-19 and isolation are taking a toll here.
We were talking about a potable water system and the inadvisability of using brass fittings due to metallic taste and this has somehow morphed into Poland Spring water jugs
.surprisingly hard and complex isn't it ....................................... not!
