Hi Folks,
I love the conversation and deep thinking.
On a more mundane level - Lead in hoses?
Anyone know the best lead free hoses?
Viva la revolución! Amy

Do hot water hoses from the box stores have any lead content?
Is this a problem only with vinyl or poly hoses?
Maybe potable water hoses for RV's would be the safest. I would never use anything by ne of those or rubber hoses. The plastic ones are not a good choice for the long haul.
