Why not just use an old garden hose ?

Why not use a garden hose???

Well, the last hose I bought had a warning on it not to drink
from it. It said the hose leaches toxic agents into
the water.

Normally I discount these kinds of warnings as some company

Perhaps real underground water pipe is the best answer.

Potable hoses aren't that much more expensive if it is of concern:
