The outer casing is a heavy, durable plastic. I've taken some pretty hot showers and haven't had any problems with them. I find these filters very well made; they are not flimsy in any way.

Hi Jason. I love the water chef. We have the metal model. There is a really good quality plastic cover on the shower wand that the water does flow through. I know what you mean about the cheapy plastic shower wands and covers but this is way better. The hose has a spiral metal cover, not sure what kind of tubing is within that flexible metal. I have a latex allergy and have had zero problem with this shower filter/wand system. My suggestion is call the company.. they have great customer service and may sell it to you with a money back guarantee taking into account your health issues. But I bet you will like it. Happy to help. Melinda Hi Jason. I love the water chef. We have the metal model. There is a really good quality plastic cover on the shower wand that the water does flow through.

the body of the filter is plastic but the filter it self is carbon based technology and that what's important , the flow off the filter is good so the effect of the filter casing is minimized, and that is evident in no taste what so ever in the water and no mineral deposit on shower head , and that mean that water is clean ,it work pretty good ,if any thing was wrong my wife would have noticed too , if you asking me, it's really good filter and lasts about 6 months.

You can put hot water and won't damange the pouring plastic. BUT outter casing will be the same temperature as to water temp, you will get burned if not careful. It is not temp control bottle.

Pat, I wish we could answer your question, but we'd refer you to the manufacturer. Ours installed okay, and we have not had to replace the plastic bottle.

Do not know about BPA and yes the hot water pours over the plastic. I got rid of it soon after I got it i was not happy with it. Did not hold temp long.

The water itself doesn't really get hot. There is a metal screen at the bottom which heats below. I don't like to heat plastic either, but I have never been concerned about my diffuser and have never detected any plastic odors.

This cup is BPA free plastic. I have it and I love it. It fits pretty well in the cup holder in my car and keeps the tea warm for a good while. It doesn't get too hot to hold like glass would. It stays a comfortable warm that is wonderful in cold temperatures. I would look at the Tao of Tea site to see if they have a glass one there for you. I get most of my teas from them and have gotten 4 of 5 tea pots from them as well. I hope this helps.

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

The product has no plastic # on it. However, as long as you are not running hot water through it the plastic should not be off gassing. Off gassing plastic to the bet of my knowledge will not off gas unless heated.

I know very little about that the "plastic issue" since I drink H2O2 in distilled water. I have experimented with the spray and used a little plastic misting bottle from an over the counter nose spray. I never heard anything about not using plastic. Your H2O2 will be delivered to you in a plastic bottle. Please do more research.

Seems like a bad idea from a safety perspective to use it with plastic. Not to mention, plastic won't conduct the heat very well when it's really cold. I'd spend a couple bucks and get a metal waterer to make sure it works. Works great with my metal waterer.

It's plastic. When I was looking for a kettle, I wanted no lactic touching the hot water. Unfortunately, every kettle I looked at either had plastic somewhere or the quality and lifespan were poor. This was the best alternative I found. We have had it now for three months and we love it and the very limited contact with the plastic I can live with. If I had to do it over again, I'd buy the same kettle.

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 didn't find anything stating it is BPA free, but the plastic is almost like a hard acrylic type. A few times I have used it with boiling water and it looks like it cracked but its was not. I have been very happy with this beaker. On the bottom it does have 7 in the recycling and made in Germany. Hope this helps.

I have no idea what the plastic is made out of, but I clean mine with extremely HOT, not boiling water and rubbing alcohol of at least 91%

The housing is plastic. Unless your water is hot enough to melt thick plastic, you will be OK.

It is metal inside too....not plastic. Mine is discolored a bit because of hard well water.

I have news for you sweet cheeks nothing you do will guarantee you health. What abut water (that includes bottled) the air, plastic (heating in plastic especially leaks chemicals into what ever is put into it) the list goes on. I disagree with you but that is ok, you have a right to your opinion the same as I do.
