I bought a new water hose at Sam's. It's a real heavy one. I
didn't notice
any problem the first time I used it, but later on I went out
to run some water
in a bucket to water flowers. The water was soapy. Husband
said, must be the
bucket. Next time, I was washing off patio...water came out
soapy. Changed to
clear after few minutes. This happened again recently....

We unscrewed hose and ran the faucet...water fine. Waited a
day and tried
again; water clear.

There must be something inside the hose...but what? Has anyone
ever run into
this before? There is a guarantee with hose but it's against
wear and tear
stuff.

I've got hoses like that. I think they even said on the packaging
something like "not for potable water". The effect is the same as
you describe. The water comes out "milky" looking.
