If it is not safe for drinking then it is not safe for your tank. It will be treated with anti-mold and anti-fungal agents. Not good for fish.

You'll probably get mixed responses from people who use regular hoses and those who use drinking-water safe hoses. Personally, I ask why risk it? They cost about the same and remove one factor that could potentially harm your fish. I got mine from Ace Hardware: http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3870448&cp=2568443.2568444.2598681.2602619.1305623

Not that I'm recommending it, but I use the neverkink with my tanks with no problem. I also use the cheapo ones.
