lead free irrigation system timers #865741

Asked April 24, 2024, 1:54 PM EDT

We are setting up a drip irrigation system for some new vegetable and berry beds and are wondering if there are any lead free irrigation timers or NSF certified timers out there. If not, how important is it? If there is lead in the timer that connects to the hose, then it seems some lead would end up sitting in the water that stays in the hoses around the clock. Would that level of lead ever be too much for the soil and plants? Thank you. Laurie and Lucas
