Be careful when buying hoses with aluminum couplings (Flexzilla). Detach the hose from the hose bib every two months or so. A couple of wraps of Teflon tape should help but still detach it from time to time.
Better yet buy a hose with brass couplings.

this is spot on! I have quick connect couplers and a few of them are aluminum. they get corroded and I have to break them apart with pipe wrenches to unscrew them.
