The big majority of this stuff is food safe it just isn't stamped food safe.
The there are the food safe devices for transporting hot liquids in factories.
These idiots cant possibly expect people to use that equipment to water a plant.
Some time ago I had the biggest argument with a guy that said you couldn't drink water from PVC pipe.
PVC pipe is stamped and listed as safe for drinking water.
CPVC is used for hot water so it wont get hot and lose shape.
This BS came from years ago when they had problems with it.
The jerks need to do some research and do some cross referencing on plastics and know what these markings mean on pipe and other fittings pumps and so on and what you can use it for.
In short just because it doesn't say food grade stamped in big letters for these people doesn't mean it isn't food safe or drinking water safe.
The other ASTM NSF ASSE and so on say this.
What do they want, food safe for hot liquids high acid or drinking water?
Do they even know that all this goes out the window if the GPM gets to high and eats the inside of the pump or pipe out in time.
Do they know the difference between yellow brass and red brass?
Do they know the different grade of stainless and what it can be used for.
I think not.
But yet they will allow water to go down a ditch to water plants which by the way isn't food safe.
Last but not least they are worried about food safe but yet the stuff going through the system isn't food safe.
Sorry for the rant but this stuff gets on my nerves.
