I have a 3/4 inch ball valve valve off of my mixing station.

I do have a pvc hose adapter to 3/4", but I'm not sure if I should use a hose like this? Most of the RV drinking water hoses are 5/8".

I can find a 75 or 100 foot 3/4 inch lead free hose (drinking water safe), but wondering if I'll introduce any metal over time? This will just be to fill the tank initially, and perform water changes.

Ideas?

I was looking at this hose. Was going to cut the one end off that enters the tank, and screw the other end into the pvc hose adapter at my station.

Great looking hose. I wanted one of those when I setup my mixing station, but they were out of stock. Get one. ;)
 
Why not just get a Python....they come 25, 50, 75 or 100 feet and you can buy 20 foot extensions as well.

That would be much easier to handle and coil than the same size vinyl tubing for sure. It'll take up a lot of space on a hose hanger.
