The tap outside is the same water you drink from the tap inside why would you need a filter
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.

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.

Did this and it was glorious after playing bball in the driveway. Nothing better.
Cold water inside was pretty good.

Aren't Gen X the parents of Gen Z? That feels more like a failure on gen X for not teaching the ancient art of outside hose drinking.

My kids got to drink from a hose. Nothing was more refreshing then drinking cool water from a hose as a kid. As an adult still not to bad.

We didn't have filters in my dad. We didn't even think about the environment or wounde if the water was safe to drink. We just drank it.

The garden hoses are made out of PVC, and It leaches into the water passing though it
Like the pvc pipes inside the house?

Used to drink out of the hose all the time growing up in the 80s, but it was usually after playing in the sprinkler or otherwise running the hose for quite awhile. But never really thought twice about it either way.
Now as an adult the hose water always has this super appealing nostalgic smell, but I don't run it very often, and the idea of whatever might be lurking in that stagnant water just squicks me out too much to take a swig

Mines not a meme, just a screenshot of some Gen x cringe content. you didn't miss anything

As a gen X I always think it's kinda weird how Gen Z (or whatever is the last), care about health considered the shitty world they're supposed to meet.

Yeah, y'all got far worse problems.

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’m not saying the person you’re replying to isn’t being a bit obtuse, but the water in your house that you drink should be running through copper or in newer homes, PEX which is HDPE, not PVC.
Carry on.

Gen Z and Gen Alpha because anyone younger can't afford to have kids. Been seeing plenty of people in their late 40s and early-to-mid 50s with young children, but almost nobody under 40 with kids.
