There was a recent report on the news about how much lead is in most garden hoses and the brass fittings. The report recommends a few alternates. Does anyone have a good hose they use that is safe to drink from. I use the hose on herbs and to fill the bird bath. I don't want to put lead into the ground water either.
edited to add: The report was on ABC News.
Suggested hoses were: Gardener's Supply Co. 33-469
Teknor Apex Boat and Camper Self Straightening
Swan Marine/Camper
Better Homes and Gardens Kink Free
