Have you ever stopped to think what kinds of toxins bacteria, algae and more — may be crawling around in your garden hose? This is not something that many people consider. The truth is that unless you have invested in a toxin free drinking hose you probably have a health hazard sitting in your yard. Ordinary garden hoses, the opaque kind, are home to multiple toxins.

BPA, another harmful chemical, is commonly used in the materials that are used for making garden hoses. Exposure can lead to problems with cognition and even prostrate function. A toxic water hose can also be caused by phthalate which is a material that is used to make hoses flexible.
