Did the seller give you any kind of arrive live guarantee, either in emails or verbally? If not, it really is not his fault. Wait and see how things arrive. If there is a problem, approach it positively. He may meet you at least halfway on things. Taking a negative, accusatory approach or threatening to stop cc payments will probably get you NOWHERE.

YES Garden hose is NOT drinking water safe. You need to use a material that is FDA approved for drinking water. PVC hose is safe, as are any RV/marine hoses. Regular garden hoses leach harmful organics. Flushing them first of all water laying inside them helps but they are still not "food" safe. Garden hoses are available in 1/2", 5/8" and 3/4" diameters. "Safe" water hoses are available at any RV store or West Marine.

Kinda looks like the one Mr Coral s offering frags from. Must have come in with the same Australian shipment.
