"One consumer test to see just how much lead was in hoses tested 16 hoses
representing popular brands from national chains. Four were labeled safe for
drinking, six had warning labels, and six had no labels either way. After
leaving water in the hoses for 20 hours, they measured concentrations less
than the acceptable levels set for drinking water by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) for all of those labeled as safe. Water taken from
all the rest had levels 10 to 100 times that allowed. ..."
They list Gardener¹s Supply (33-469), Teknor Neverkink RV and Marine Hose,
Swan Marine/Camper, and Better Homes and Gardens¹ Kinkfree as safe.
