Teknor 50 Ft Zero-G RV Freshwater Hose

Lightweight, durable, and 100% drinking-water safe — my top choice for reliable freshwater delivery on any RV trip.


Overview

The Teknor Apex Zero-G RV Freshwater Hose is a premium, lightweight alternative to traditional vinyl RV hoses, offering superior durability, flexibility, and drinking-water safety. Designed specifically for RV and marine use, this hose is constructed with FDA-approved materials and remains kink-free while maintaining a high flow rate, even in tight storage spaces or cold conditions.

Unlike stiff traditional hoses, the Zero-G’s woven fiber jacket and advanced inner core keep it easy to handle, coil, and store — making it an ideal choice for both weekend campers and full-time RVers who prioritize safe, efficient water delivery to their rigs.


Key Features

  • Drinking water safe — manufactured with lead-free, BPA-free, and phthalate-free materials
  • High-flow design supports full RV water pressure up to 600 PSI burst strength
  • Flexible woven fiber jacket resists punctures, abrasions, and UV damage
  • Lightweight and kink-free construction allows easy handling and storage
  • Abrasion-resistant aluminum couplings with crush-proof durability
  • Zero memory — returns to flat shape for compact storage in small RV bays

RV Use Cases

  • Supplies potable water from campground or city hookups to RV freshwater inlet
  • Perfect for seasonal or full-time RVers needing reliable, tangle-free performance
  • Excellent for cold-weather setups where traditional hoses stiffen
  • Can also serve as a backup or secondary freshwater line for outdoor kitchens or washing stations

Common User Feedback

Pros:

  • Very lightweight and easy to store — coils neatly without kinking
  • Consistent water pressure and safe taste-free performance
  • Durable and long-lasting with heavy daily use

Cons:

  • Slightly higher cost than standard vinyl hoses
  • Outer fabric can collect dirt if dragged on the ground
  • Requires complete draining before freezing temperatures

Best Practices

  1. Use only for potable water: Keep separate from non-potable or flushing hoses.
  2. Flush before first use: Run clean water through to remove any residual factory dust.
  3. Store dry: Drain completely and coil loosely to prevent mold or odor.
  4. Avoid dragging: Keep off sharp gravel or pavement to preserve the outer jacket.
  5. Use a pressure regulator: Always protect your RV plumbing by maintaining safe inlet pressure (40–60 PSI).

Inspector’s Note (RV Pro Solutions Insight)

As a Certified NRVIA Inspector, I’ve seen many freshwater hoses fail prematurely due to kinking, cracking, or unsafe materials. The Teknor Apex Zero-G has proven to be one of the most reliable and user-friendly options available — strong, flexible, and certified safe for drinking water. It’s my personal go-to hose for both inspections and travel, especially in varying climates where flexibility really matters.
