This hose served our purpose even better because we added a pure water filter to the end when filling our spa so that we began with much purer water. It is a good hose and it did not kink at all on us. I'm glad we have it for future use as it is a much safer hose to use.
UPDATE: 4/4/2017 - We have used this hose with our camper several times since I purchased it and it is working very well. No leaks and it is super easy to coil up and store for the next camping trip.

*Very well priced for a 50ft non-kinking hose. You probably won't find anything else in the 20$ range.
*Absolutely kink-free. I am just using this on a high pressure washer - but I needed an uninterrupted water source for it that I can rely on.
*Drinking safe. The package advertises it as drinking safe, it's approved by the FDA.. You can be overly cautious about everything you eat, drink, breathe, or look at.. Or you can admit that this is a generally acceptable product to safely use when living outside of a plastic bubble or California :-) . Also, despite what wiki says, lead is not always added to brass, nor will the lead magically chip off (like paint) and contaminate your drinking water you consume. Also, no where on the packaging does it say it contains lead or the "California caner" message - which they *should* have to put on there if it actually contained lead.. Of course it's purely a personal choice how protective you want to be, but I wanted to make this a point since other reviewers focused heavily on the opposition side of this.
*The hose connector is strong, had several cheaper hoses that used thinner metals that bend or leak easy. However this does not.
*Has a see-through strip to see water flow. Maybe a useless feature, but still kind-of cool.
All-in-all a good purchase, and quick shipping from Amazon like always.
* The 5/8 inch diameter is a lot easier to maneuver
* The spray and pressure really is still the same in my opinion
* It does not mark up the white exterior boat
* It is very easy to coil backup when I need to put it away
* I haven't had any kinking issue at all
The Bottom Line:
If you are in the market for a new hose for really any Marine or camper application I think you'll be pretty happy with this. The video included just shows the hose out and use real quick.
