Lol, do you guys know each other cause this is funny stuff....... No insults intended. I live on lond island and the water in the hose is the same as the water in the faucet, i guess you guys have a resivor. I never used a hose personally but were i live it may be better...old houses old pipes, less piping to travel thru. Ive noticed that hot water tends to have more minerals and metals than cold, hot water heater sits gathering sediment, although it may not be an issue if you let the water run. I personnaly use cold water only from the faucet via python hose, fill a 40gallon bin, add prime, (recently stopped using salt, but i wanna get son seachem sa cichlid salt), plug in my extra tank heater and let the water circulate w/pump for 24 hours, then using the python i just plug it onto the circulating pump and pump it into my tank.
