(More customer reviews)I don't own this particular hose, but thought I would share some information with buyers.
There are 2 things that contain lead in hoses, the minor contributor is the recycled plastic in the vinyl and the major contributor is the brass couplings at the ends.Manufacturers don't add lead to the plastic, but some is present in the recycled material.Lead is added to the brass to make it more malleable so they can form it into the desired shape.
This specific hose is a failure in its conception.Why make the hose material drinking water safe, but then put on brass couplings that have lead in them?It's contradictory.It says drinking water safe, but then has a warning label on the back from California that says causes cancer, do not drink from this hose.Hilarious.Apparently only California cares about its citizens, as other states don't care if you drink water with lead in it.
Only buy "drinking water safe hoses" that have medical grade vinyl and nickel-plated or non-brass couplings.
