Question from Stephanie
Recently I have noticed a flood of Stainless Steel Canteens on the market as potential replacements for plastic water bottles.
My question is whether Stainless Steel Canteens are safe to use with water filtered via reverse osmosis.
I know that the reverse osmosis process creates very pure water, which can cause copper to leak out of copper pipes, which is why they use plastic tubing with the installation vs. the standard copper pipe.
Does reverse osmosis water interact with stainless steel to cause any leaching into the drinking water?
I would love to use the stainless steel canteen product, I just need to know it is safe before I do so.

I don’t know the answer to this, but let’s see if someone else does. Good question.
