I use a cheap hosepipe for water changes and never had an issue. A home made python makes changes so easy and quick and very cheap with fittings from the local surplus store.
Can I ask where you bought the Y connector with taps? I've seen hozelock do one but many of the reviews say they leak from the tap. Do you have problems with yours leaking?
I'm in the UK and don't think it's a requirement that hose pipes have anti-fungal treatment. That are treated that way would be advertised as such and cost a lot more money.
I use a hose pipe too. I just bleached the pipe to clean it out then flushed it with plenty of water. I use a connector that fits the shower out let that then sends the water to the attic
I fill my tank up using a hose pipe - connected to the kitchen sink tap which is a mixer tap, cold water from the rising main and hot water from the hot water cylinder then I just the mix to get the correct temp.
Not sure if it's necessary but the "free of heavy metals, phthalates" etc spiel made me feel better. Plus it doesn't kink which is handy and worth the extra on its own.
Never had a problem with it and been doing it for 2 years. I always dose dechlorinator (Prime) for the full tank volume.
