Description says, "made with NSF certified hose", is the entire hose with metal ends NSF cerified for drinking water or just the plastic hose portion?

The hose is intended to be used for drinking water. Drinking water hoses are made of different materials than garden hoses are for that very reason. According to Camco's website, the entire hose is drinking water safe. http://bit.ly/1HtPCEP Hope that helps! Have a good one!

The spigot looks like a very hard plastic. It certainly is not stainless steel. But the plastic is very tough!

Yep, it's just the nozzle on the end. Standard hose thread, no shut off valve. Very nicely made.

The whole distiller itself including the coil is stainless steel with the exception of a plastic spigot that's supposed to hold some charcoal. The water that touches is is lukewarm, so it won't react with plastic as it leaves. If you are allergic to plastic, just run the distilled water through a Brita water filter which has charcoal... but then the Brita water filter is made of an inert plastic.

Ha! Good question. It looks like I was fooled! I just assumed the exterior of the hose was stainless steel mesh stuff. I just looked at mine and it's probably a non metallic mesh, but looks and feels fine. I had to use a magnifying glass to see that the strands are probably made of a fishing string type looking material. It's probably okay quality for the life of the faucet and I've no reason to doubt it. Inside the mesh appears to be a flexible rubber type hosing. I'll have to put this in my review.As our dear, departed, California Huell would say, "Oh my gosh, that's amaaazing! Do you mean to say . . . . " Ha! Good question. It looks like I was fooled!

You can look at the manufacturer's site here: http://www.theperfectwater.com/What-contaminants-can-reverse-osmosis-remove.html and have a look at all the things that it removes, as mentioned there you can see the percentage for hexavalent chromium is 91.30%. As for bpa free, none of the systems mention it on their site but when I go to look at replacement parts, the only tube mentioned has this in its description: "Does not contain Plasticizers * Polyethylene based polymer: a standard class of material used in the water industry" on the page for the the system its self it says its "Made with NSF Certified Components" I assume that means no bpa. On another page its says its nsf and fda approved. "All components FDA / NSF certified. All components meet FDA food grade materials standards, and/or NSF and California performance standards where applic" thats about all I could find, a quick call to them during business hours will give you a quick answer I'm sure: 1-877-693-7873

Hi. I am a customer and purchased this item a few months back. It stated on the description that it was brass, however I don't remember if it said 100% brass. But unlike you, I am not using it for drinking water. I use it on my hose and have attached many different types of things to it. I have found it to be of very good quality and it does not leak, no matter the pressure. Hope this helps

It is made of plastic. Works good for a fabric type hose, which is why I bought it, but probably wouldn't hold up long for a heavy rubber hose.

It is a plastic tube. Wash it with some soap and water and it will be good for drinking water. Just don't use it for gasoline and then think you can get good water out of it.

It's all plastic. I see others saying stainless steel, it does look like SS but it is plastic. The hose looks great and no issues with it so far.

I could not find any stamp on the hose as to where it was made.. It does have a placard that says it is NSF/ANSI standard 61.Wish I could be more helpful, but I can say, I have had it in service several months now with no problems at all. The hose fittings on each end are very well made.Below is from their website.Camco started in 1966 with one employee and one product. Today, over 40 years later, we have more than 350 employees, over 3,000 products and five manufacturing facilities to better serve our customers needs. Our home office is in Greensboro, North Carolina. We also have locations in Elkhart, Indiana; Portland, Oregon; Leominster, Massachusetts and our newest facility in Beilun, China.

Hello, If I understood your question correctly you are asking about the Spigot and I believe that it is plastic. Please let us know if we can be of further help. Thanks and have a great day!

The only plastic inside is for the spigot which is very small. The rest is stainless steel and the filters. Best tasting water...very fresh, odorless, crisp...

the hose is plastic....i don't think that there is any metal material in the hose at all...

There are NO plastic parts on this carafe. Best I can tell, everything is made of stainless. We used this every day for our week long camping trip and it worked perfectly. We are very picky about our coffee, we buy whole bean coffee and grind it at home. This makes a very tasty cup of coffee. Good coffee is very important when you are camping... it's how you start your day so it better be good and this carafe exceeded our expectations and is very easy to clean. Highly recommend.

The spigot is plastic. I wouldn't use it on the next 1 that I purchase. I'll just connect a short hose and shut off valve to the drain spout at the lowest practical place. That allows me to take advantage of water pressure. The spigot is useless for me. Otherwise it's a great product.

All fittings are plastic. Don't waste your money on this. It's a great idea but apparently has not been perfected.
