what kind of material is the water container made of, namely the material that is touching the water...? Does it contain PVC? Is it BPA-free?

It doesn't say, but it's intended use is definitely showering not drinking.

Plastic--I never saw a BPA Free label or statement on it, but it could be. Best to contact the manufacturer about that.

the whole thing is plastic. It might last longer if you got a soft water filter to keep from the hard water deposits from building up. Also if you dont have very good water pressure its not worth it

I do not see anything on the label that indicates what the bags are made out of since they are not used for food. Many food bags now state that they are BPA free but I am unaware of any concerns with pvc. You can contact the manufacturer at http://nancysilver.com. The label claims that this is the same technology used by NASA, The Guggenheim Museum and jewelry manufactures worldwide and they have worked for me!

It is made out of a flexible plastic material so the circle shape that lays flat can conform to your tub and lay snug. As for bpa free.. I don't know. I have already thrown away the packaging. That wasn't of much concern to me since it is laying in the bottom of the tub and not near any food or drinking water sources.

We haven't found any plastic in our water. it's made by a name brand company and I believe it is UL listed. we are very happy with it

The container is some form of polycarbonate (no symbol) as far as I know. NSF but not sure if it is BPA free or not. I don't recall seeing anything mentioning it.

It is PVC free, BPA free, and formaldehyde free. Very good quality but not 100% organic

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.

The water containers themselves are BPA free (if you purchase them). They can be purchased from Amazon for a bit over $20.00 or at your local water store for slightly cheaper. The machine storage itself is not.

It's plastic, not really sure whether it's bpa free. We hardly used it. We bought a thermos that stainless inside work better. Hope this help.

I looked it over and the only plastic is the water gauge which would not necessarily touch the water. I bought this one precisely because there is no plastic touching the water. I like it BTW!

It is Eco-Friendly PEVA. PVC & Chlorine Free.(as stated on the packaging) It 'did not' have that usual, strong plastic smell that is common with plastic products.

I checked with the company to verify what I thought and YES, the container is BPA free. Wilderness Family Naturals are wonderful products and their attention to quality ingredients and packaging is outstanding. I hope this helps. You can google their site to look around, call to ask questions, and read about the products.

Yes on both accounts. This product is made from HDPE, which is BPA and PVC free. In fact, PVC is a different kind of plastic altogether. Here's some basic info: http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/home/green-living/recycling-symbols-plastics-460321

#7 is polycarbonate and it leeches BPA into your water. It's a hormone disrupter. Not safe. Any luck in finding safe plastic for 5 gallon water jugs?

It is fabric, not plastic. It does not repel water. You would have to use a liner with it.
