No, this version is NOT PVC-Free. However, Advanced Elements has an otherwise identical version of this 5-gallon solar shower that *IS* PVC-Free. This version is a 4-layer construction; the PVC-Free version is a 2-layer construction. They each have the same capacity and the same features, apart from that difference. Both are available on Amazon.

I don't know if it is PVC free or not perhaps you can find out from the manufacturer, but after leaving it in the hot sun with water in it for a number of hours, I would not be comfortable using it as a source of drinking water; but having said that I know I must have gotten water in my mouth during showers and suffered no ill effects.

There is no indication whether or not this jug is BPA free - it says it's approved for water use & has the number 7 in it's recycle triangle. We actually bought it to use for our daughter's wedding for folks to put money in it for their honeymoon fund.

You have to ask two questions: Is the plastic BPA free (check with the manufacturer) and how long will the drink be in contact with the plastic. In the case of a storage jug, this is important. But, with the AeroPress, the contact is such a short time that the chance for transfer is insignificant.

I just checked the Rubbermaid website in the FAQs under these trays in the product section and THESE TRAYS ARE BPA and phthalate free. And considering that, PVC seems very unlikely. I'd email Rubbermaid if you need more info. Happy to help.

According to the safety warnings with the product, you are not supposed to use a plastic fountain on this, it says metal only.

I'm not sure if you are joking. But ... It is NOT for drinking water. Personally I don't recommend plastic drinking containers even if they are BPA/melamine/etc. free. There is no such thing as worry free plastic. But this is certainly not for drinking.

No. It is plastic with a recycling symbol number 5. I use mine for my cat's drinking water.

Yes. It is plastic. But I'm hoping that it is BPA free. Maybe you should check with Brita to be certain. But overall, I like it. Water taste great and no chlorine taste. Just follow the directions when adding/changing filters

I'm not sure, I through the packaging away. The paper that came with it says it's Free from vinyl, PVC, and phthalate. I hope this helps.

I suppose it could be given it is not too full. I am sketchy about freezing anything plastic with water in it and then introducing that into water I am drinking. Too much bad is coming from plastic.

Interesting question. I think I wouldn't personally drink from any outside hose be it a Pocket hose or a regular hose, but the Pocket hose does have a clear plastic inner tubing where as regular hoses have mostly a black rubber insides which seems to me taste like....well old rubber and could after a winter stand without water running thru it could contain some unpleasant surprises. I have a organic garden also and water it with a underground sprinkler system which uses a Pvc black flex tubing and actually have never thought about any adverse effect health wise. I think most later built homes in the US use the same type of tubing material in their indoor water supply. Interesting question.

I'm honestly not too sure about the first part but I believe they are PVC free. I would do some searching around to find out. I double sleeve religiously with any sleeve so I can't attest to them damaging cards over time or anything of the like.

I am trying to find this out as well. I checked on the Target website and could not find where it states it is BPA free, only that it is PVC free.

Good question. This is supposed to be brass. Brass is supposed to be a mixture copper and zinc. With this product, I would not be convinced that it is a polluted compound of metals. It is not like any brass to which I have ever been exposed. Because it is for use with a garden hose, and you are not supposed to drink from garden hoses, probably because of the lead in the metal couplings, I would not trust this in your drinking water supply line. Truthfully, I have found the plastic ones more durable and user friendly than these. My suggestion, go plastic unless you can find an older version of this connector that was made in North America.

Sorry, don't know if it's pvc. It is not a rigid, hard plastic, but a pliable, soft plastic.

I studied the spigot with my magnifying glass and there is not an indication of what kind of plastic is used. the Spigot is metal. I have had mine for a month and use the Spigot 20 times a day. again the spigot per se is metal not plastic. I have no problems with the spigot and use it at least 20 times a day.
