If it is not BPA free should I not use it to water my herb garden on my balcony?

Sure the water is in the can for such a short time I doubt that there would be ant problem. If you find a problem return it.

Chris, Yes it is BPA free; we have two of these and use them daily; no issues with leaks, off taste or any thing along those lines. The only thing you need to be aware of is that you have to leave the cap loose while it is in use to allow air to get in as the water is being dispensed.

As far as I know, this steamer is not BPA free. I bought it and then returned it because I thought the food shelves were stainless steel, but it's all plastic. It was a cute steamer, but I didn't feel good about the BPA leaching into our food. I now have a completely stainless steel steamer by Secura, which I bought here on Amazon. It looks large, but it works very well and is pretty versatile.

I wouldn't. The heat may cause it to fail faster as it is entirely plastic. It's really for light yard usage. I've only used it for cold water but had to replace twice so far. Granted, that was under heavy use but the material is not made for anything more than what a weekend gardener uses.

According to this website:http://web.extension.illinois.edu/blmp/news/news27553.htmlIt is perfectly safe for vegetable gardens. I used the product last year around my herb garden and everything came out fine.

Don't know if it is BPA free. But it really works. We've purchased several as gifts. Recipients do have a confused look until they try it. Some are too intimidated. I'd say do not use it any more than you would eat mercury laden fish, if you are worried. The fish recommendation is not more than once a week. Or go back to your boiling pot of water and guess wrong as I do, one half the time about the taste of al dente. I get head slapped by my Italian mom, yes, about half the time when I used boiling water in a pot. and kissed on the cheek when I use Fast Pasta Cooker.

Yes it is BPA free. They are reusable after rinsing with warm soapy water and air drying. They provide you with a funnel to pour the liquid into the vessels without any spillage. I think mine leaked slightly (not much) because I did not screw the top on tightly.

The interior of the pot is entirely stainless steel, so your water will not touch any plastic. So I guess that does make it BPA free by default?

The presence of Bisphenol-A was never a concern because we collected water only for use in our flower garden. Because of BPA's poor solubility in water, it shouldn't be of concern unless you're storing drinking water for use by infants or the elderly. Don't store organic solvents in any plastic container.

I never thought to check this out first but, I called Hamilton Beach & asked them. I was told no this model is NOT, BPA free. Sorry

I checked, and I cant find anywhere where it says BPA free, so Im going to assume its not BPA free.

You'd probably have to contact someone at Katadyn to find that answer. However, since BPA is only likely to leach out of plastic when exposed to hot water, it shouldn't be an issue unless you're filtering water from hot springs. I assume you'd be using this product in natural water sources, which tend to be chilly.

I just looked at mine. The plastic is not marked "BPA free" so it is my best guess that it is NOT BPA free. Hope this helps. BTY -ours is working fine and had it 4 months without a problem.

The water reservoir tank is BPA free but some of the parts used that cone in contact with the water may contain it. I'm guessing that the base of the reservoir which houses the regulator as well as the tubing may have be the areas where BPA may be present.
