Thanks, Paulette. There is an antimicrobial hose in the latest Smith 
and Hawken catalog, and there was one in today's advertising insert 
from Lowe's.

I've been told that the active ingredient in the anti-microbial hoses 
is triclosan, aka
2,4,4'-trichloro-2'-hydroxydiphenyl ether, the stuff they put in 
everything from sanitary hand washing liquid to socks these days, 
apparently to make us all safe from 'germs'.

I can't think that it would be a great ingredient in CT.
