        Also many cheap hoses have lead in them that leach into the water. Lead in hoses help keep them bendy in the cold.

        The devil we always were taught about was the leaded paint that was peeling and oxidizing on the ceilings. Lead white to this day is still a nightmare for anyone doing restoration work on older homes. Not even painter’s bane - calcimite (calcium white) is as problematic and THAT shit makes me want to scream and pull my hair out when I encounter it.
