Question from LB
I’m going to be replacing a kitchen sink faucet, and noticed that many on the market today have a pull out sprayer. This is convenient, but I notice that the spray hose is made from nylon. I am concerned that there may be chemicals that leach out into the water from such a hose. We would be using it for both hot and cold water and drink from our faucet as we have excellent well water ( but a bit on the acid side)
Any advice would be appreciated.

Nylon is a plastic, but it outgasses very little. I’m not concerned about sink spray hoses contaminating water that is rushing through them with only a fraction of a second contact time.
