Are these safe to use for RV drinking water?

I don't know why not. They are made of solid brass - same stuff plumbing fixtures are made of.

NO. At least, one product reviewer states the package states: "Note: the brass in this product contains lead.""wash hands after handling."

I don't see any reason why they wouldn't be. They are just brass with a rubber washer.

Yes, they r dishwasher safe. They re a great glass just need to be careful because the cup can detach from the handle.

The material composition makeup of the hoses. The drinking safe hose states "Safe to drink" the regular garden hose states "Not safe to drink", some even say "Do not drink form". Since we live in an RV and drink form a hose every day I thought this feature was important.

If you use distilled water - they will last a long time ! I have been using mine for over 2 years with no problems.

You are not suppose to use distilled water in these. I use regular faucet water in mine at home. I do use bottled water at work because that is what is handy (that would be similar to purified), but I never use distilled water. The instruction state not to use distilled water. I've never had to treat my faucet water.

I'm not sure, but they would probably hold up very well in the dishwasher. It would be hard for a dishwasher to get water inside the carafe the way they are shaped

According to customer service at Gilmore, Inc, these washers, p/n 01RW are not designated as drinking water safe. They have no hose washer that is. They do have hoses that are drinking water safe, so I would guess that the presence of a rubber washer is not considered as being sufficient to violate the integrity of their safe hoses

Safe? ABSOLUTELY... This is what we, basically, use this item for. I connect this to my motorhome as I'm filling my freshwater tank so I know how much water I'm putting into the system. TYPICALLY, I only want to carry a small amount of water while drive (say 10 gallons) and then fill up when I get to my destination. This makes it ***VERY EASY*** to know what I've put into my tank!

According to this article you can. But it appears Kem-Tek has the same chemical for about 6 bucks less.rvbasics.com/techtips/sanitizing-your-rv-fresh-water-system.html

I used them fine. Just make sure the lid is on securely or you'll make a big mess.

I am not sure. I too was planning on using them for food/ drinks/ fermenting. So I went ahead and got some others that were "food grade" just to be on the safe side.

I'm not sure if it is BPA proof, they are reusable and leak proof. We took them hiking and they worked great. Packs were full and these did not leak or puncture a hole. The hole is about a dime size but you are given a funnel to pour drinks in . The big one hold about a pint and a half. Going to use themOn a cruise next month.

The cups are made of heavy plastic and yes they are water safe. Hope this helps

Hot water is fine, these are thick sturdy glass. I do hand wash the tops, easy to do and I don't want them to bounce around in the dishwasher.

They are dishwasher safe so I would assume it would be ok but try contacting the manufacturers.

I agree with the concern about storing drinking water in a plastic container of this type, not to mention the possible confusion as to whether it is gasoline. Otherwise, there is no reason that I can think of, which would prevent storing such a liquid in the container.
