Water passing over green algae remains
drinkable. It is bacteria that you mostly have to be concerned with. Those marina spiggets are not the cleanest items and unless you sanitize them it may not matter what kind of hose you use. Don't quite understand how did the hose develop all that algae in a trip of a couple of hours. We disconnect ours drain it and connect it end to end before storing and had never had that problem. Know some live aboards that leave them connected all the time with pressure on and don't seem to have any problems. I like the white hose mainly because it does not leave green, yellow or black markings on the deck. For algae to grow it needs humidity, heat and light and a source. In warm weather the only factor you can control is light. Disconnect it and store it in a dark locker. Yes, algae and mold are very distinctive so I believe you had algae in the hose from leaving it undrained in the sunlight. Nevertheless, inspect your pressurized water conduits inside the boat. Backflow could move growth from inside your pipes or hoses to the pressure regulator. I agree with peggie, we ingest more of our tank water than we realize and if we don't get sick it is because the water is good or we have created immunity. Don't let some, algae, mold or fungi spoil your fun.
