Carl,

      I'm not aware of any lead leaching in PVC water tubing, but then again
I don't know whether they use lead or other metals in tubing. The whole lead
issue was a new one to me a couple of years ago, when Greenpeace blew the
whistle on it for baby toys; since then I have become aware that it is used
in wire covering and seat covers.

     Pat, do you know anything about this?

Regards
Jon
