APEC, are ALL components in this system BPA free (filters, hoses, tank, etc)? If YES, then why does APEC not include "BPA free" in product specs?

hey I dont blame Solomon for doubting the products. however for it's price they have given you DOW filter and John Guest parts all I can say is Im pleased. The tank itself is made in China though US dont manufacture them anymore according to APEC. Also as a side note dont take US government rating with 100% certainly. It's a general public and commercial guide line often left more to be desired.

Yes, all the components on the system are BPA free. The RO-90 system is WQA gold sealed certified to meet strict public health standards and pass weeks of rigorous testing for material and parts safety, structural integrity, and contaminant rejection performance. Furthermore, the system uses polypropylene plastic, which the FDA considers is a safe and non-toxic material. Thank you for your feedback, we will provide your information to our department to include "BPA Free" in the product specifications.

All black parts you can see in the photo are plastic of some sort. I did some research and found this on a product description for a water boiler, here on Amazon. "All Zojirushi products are BPA-free. The inner container of the water boiler is stainless steel with nonstick coating, the inner lid is stainless steel, and both are BPA-free. Some gaskets and the outer lid that may come into contact with water are silicone or plastic, and also do not contain BPA." While this carafe differs on some materials, ie the interior is glass, I feel this answers the question. Enjoy.

I've been wondering the same thing. I've done some research and can't find anything about this particular model being BPA free, but hard plastics generally are. For those who don't know what BPA is, it's Bisphenol A (BPA), a carbon-based synthetic compound often used in the production of plastics.

Hello Stephen; I honestly can't tell you. But if I had a question about plastics containing BPA I'd probably not purchase them. If you could contact the manufacturer he should be able to give a definitive answer. Sorry I can't help you.

This plastic doesn't need BPA, but it has some horrible endocrine disrupters. Its the additives in the plastic to make it heat resistant. There's also a gasket around the stainless steel heating plate. I have no idea what that is made out of. Perhaps silicone??? but even then, silicone is not safe!!! google siloxanes!Then choose your poison if you want hot water conveniently. You could get a glass water kettle and heated on the stove, or in the microwave... Nothing is perfect!!!

I do not know for sure. However, I would be suprised if BPA were used. The filter and unit is NSF certified. To be sure, I would recommend calling the customer service number and asking directly. Although the casing is stainless steel, plastic tubing is used to connect the filter to the faucet.

I still have the box and there is no mention of bpa anywhere on it. I checked the blender and booklet and found nothing. Sorry I couldn't help you. .

I am not sure about BPA free because it is not stated in the Paperwork that came with the beaker. However, it does show on the beaker that it is an 07 plastic that you can recycle. I hope this helps you.

Yes google the owners manual all componets that touch the food is bpa free. Unless you have your own chickens its irrelevant anyway. Sadly in this day and time bpa is just the hot ticket bad word. They feed chickens hormones, massive doses of antibiotics, chickens and low grade corn

yes all the parts are bpa, lead and phalate free, even the storage tray. Also the glass jars are very strong. I droped one from about 4 or 5 feet onto a cement floor and there wasnr any fracture whatsoever. Theyer pretty awesome.

People, BPA-free is a meaningless term. It only means that the plastic is most likely BPS plastic, which is equally a health concern.

I would be worried if the manufacturer does not answer u back. The R O membrane stops most dissolved solids, which are small me ulema and bispenol-A or BPA is a fairly large molecule. Like it or not it is in our water, bottled or tap. The system seems to be made out of HDPE plastic, which is better than other types. The tank is stainless steel, hence no bpa, so as long as you do not expose ur sistem to acid or direct prolonged light you are safe for the first 2-3 years. I would recommend you get the 5 stage system, because the alkaline filter says "electrolytes and etc." no one answered when I asked what etc mean, so I removed it. 5 stage is $169.

I don't believe the parts are BPA free. However the product does not heat up, it uses high power vibration to diffuse the water and oil into the air.

I inquired as to whether there was BPA in the plastic components of this kettle & received this reply: Thank you for your email and interest in Bonavita kettles. "All plastic used in our products is BPA free."

According to the box it is BPA Free. I don't know about PBA. They are recyclable too.

I agree with Nathans answer. Only item to have BPA would be plastic lids. And it is clearly stated BPA free.

Darn - I'm not sure. I sort of took BPA-free to mean "not from China" but now I'd like to know, too.
