Lead Free Garden Hose Released In Response To Flint Water Crisis

March 25, 2016 – – Representatives from Clear Flow Water Hoses have received an influx of inquiries in the USA about their lead-free products. They believe the interest is related to the public’s growing concern about water safety due to tragic events such as the Flint Water Crisis. The people in Flint, Michigan, could not drink tap water after several children were diagnosed with high blood-lead levels. After this crisis made headlines across the country, reports have come out that several other American cities have similar situations because of aging lead pipes in their water systems.

A representative from the company says: “The research findings are frightening. Lead contamination is a serious issue, one we’ve been conscious of when we design our product. Contamination can come from different sources, and we’ve been watching the systems used with agriculture and livestock. We could be consuming produce that has had long-term exposure to contaminated water supplies. The Clear Flow Garden Hose is completely free from any toxic materials and we hope to expand our sights to these susceptible markets.”

What the authorities in Flint, and now in other areas of the country including Sebring, OH, found was that the lead of residential piping has contaminated everything in the environment. Also, lead was found not just in plumbing but also in such things as agricultural and residential systems. People in these areas now have to replace everything, as the risk of the lead spreading to their food sources.

Ingesting lead has been found to contribute to a range of health problems, many of which fatal, and all of them life-limiting. Unfortunately, in areas like Flint, the lead is absorbed through soil, root systems and more. This has caused the entire eco-system to become toxic.

Full details about the Clear Flow Hose are available on their website at www.clearflowwaterhose.com.

The lead free garden hose assures gardeners and farmers that the water distribution product they are using won’t contribute to the problem.
