Does this connector come with the CA warning of lead/cancer causing agents? As in, is it suitable for drinking water?

I have no idea but since it is made from Brass i would think it would be ok. No lead in Brass. I would assume any garden hose connection would be for potable water.

Yes... they said that their products were not lead free. There are some RV shut offs(a wye and a 45 degree) from Camco that are supposedly lead free, but require the CA warning because of something else... I wish they would say what specifically, but it can even be something that is only used during the manufacturing process for a plastic part(like CA wants to shame manufacturers for using dirty methods). Perhaps it is better to just use the plastic ones after an extended break in period...

Wow! I truly don't know. It is simply the blue cable that seems pretty standard. I use it everyday, but don't chew on it at all. Even with no lead, I suspect that it wouldn't be good for me.I'm joking, but it is just that I have no other information on that. How would I tell? If you know, I will check and answer again.Woody

You can only go by what the manufacturer says and that is that all parts that come in contact with water are BPA free. The customer that claims the California prop issue needs to do some more research about what that means. There isn't a single water distribution system on the market that isn't flagged by that proposition so every drop of water you use has already passed through piping prop 65 deems questionable.

this is a good point which I would like to know as I want to get one of these but not if an unhealthy chemical is leaching into the water from heating of the plastic. If anyone knows about this I would love to know. thanks

Per Godinger.com, the crystal on their site has a Prop 65 warning for lead. Contacted them and they state this particular item is LEAD FREE.

No - providing your water leads are in good condition. Normally I would advise buying new leads.

The label has california prop 65 warning.. Says there is lead in this product. -- I just looked at the pictures here on amazon.

Ask the manufacturer, as such information isn't provided. I expect they'll say lead-free. Just don't lick the faucet!

Regarding the "California warning": That's because "lead free brass" is defined by the Feds as "less than 8% lead". California requires that warning on anything with more than 0% lead, so most brass plumbing fittings require that label. Here again I would call a local plumber he would have more info on it as far as building code.

HUH? You going to drink out of it? No clue if it has lead in it or not But I don't run hot water through it so I am not worried about lead leaching out into the water I put on my flowers.

I don't remember any cancer warning on the label but that doesn't mean it's not there.. I will say this about that particular shower head, I bought it on another site other than (Amazon) and best thing I can say, "DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY" it doesn't work as well as I hoped it would and there are a lot better made shower heads in your local big box stores, thanks for taking the time to ask "one very disappointed customer".. Hope this helped, Bobby!!

Hello Yuki,The Aquasana AQ-5300 filter system effectively removes mercury, lead, and asbestos. The company does not test for other heavy metals. The filters do not remove potassium, calcium, or magnesium. The system's carbon filter also removes many organic compounds, which are listed in their literature. Please see their web site for more details: http://www.aquasana.com/product_detail.php?product_id=51We like our filter, which we purchased to improve the flavor of our morning coffee. This system does not replace a water softener.Sincerely,Robert Ashton, MD, PhD Hello Yuki,The Aquasana AQ-5300 filter system effectively removes mercury, lead, and asbestos.

I don't recall seeing a warning. I believe it is just porcelain coated. It works great but let us know if there is a lead issue.

not to my knowledge. taking a spoonful with water is suppose to draw heavy metals and toxins out of the body.

No it does not have that warning that I could find (lots of small print). Does say 'don't drink from hose because bacteria could grow in the dark hose' and your chemicals/fertilizer/bug sprays could backwash into hose. It does say 'made in the USA and global parts' (ie-China?).

I think these are meant more for survival situations where you are dealing with contaminated water. Most water filters can remove bad tasting chemicals (chlorine) and contaminants from tap water, but they are not guaranteed to remove bacteria and contaminants from standing water. I purchased them for my survival pack, but after reading all the warnings (can cause blindness, handle with gloves, wash clothes immediately after using), I decided this is probably something I shouldn't keep in close proximity with all of my other equipment.
