Water Hoses labeled for 'safe' drinking are supposed to be lower in lead than garden hoses. Look for hoses labeled 100% free from toxic chemicals commonly found in garden hoses, such as lead, BPA, or phthalates (plasticizers).

BUT, note that unfortunately the 'cheap china connections' they put on most of these safe water drinking hoses are usually loaded with lead. I.E. camco RV hose.:R

Lead from a plastic water hose??
Sounds like Fake news to me...
Where did they get the water from in that test,,Flint MIchigan maybe?

I found several kind of funny comments in that study but that's another post, I did take physics in both high school and college, one subject we discussed was the "Brownian Theory of Motion". You know the one where you discuss that atoms and, therefore, molecules are constantly in motion. :h The most common quote is one atom of gold on one end of a ingot of lead will eventually be found on the other end. "EVENTUALLY, not instantly.

There have been multiple articles and hundreds of mentions here about flushing the hose with tap water before directing the water into the tank, thereby, rinsing out any foreign thingys.:S

So what were the standards of use employed by this (to me totally unknown and not certified) testing company?:?

I've got more popcorn if anyone is interested.:B
