Is this aluminum made? the one I have now is rusting with the splash from the water filter. Anyone know where I can find a plastic screen?

I believe it's steel. I use for reptiles so I didn't have to worry about any water issues.

Without analyzing the insides I would guess there are plastic parts - the grommets at the water exit holes seem to be some kind of plastic but it works fine and I recommend buying one.

Hi. From what I could gather from the instruction, the filter screen is a rinse and reuse item. No replacement necessary. I imagine if you used it so much that you just totally wore it out, you would just replace the while thing. Otherwise, just rinse, it seems.

I believe it is aluminum, not 100% sure though. I have never had a problem with it bending or rusting. Very sturdy. Works great when getting leaves etc. from pool. I dont know where it was made. Sorry. I always check that first but this time I was in a hurry and forgot.

Call Miller and ask. They were extremely nice when a part broke on mine. Metal waterers rust and plastic ones get green slime. Pick your hassle....

Leyla, where did you get your info that the filter screen plastic has BPA? It says BPA-free kettle on Cuisinart website (Product ID: CPK-17), which means any part that comes in contact with water should be BPA free... right? So the manufacturer says it's BPA-free and Leyla says something else???? Somebody help me out here?!!!!

Yes. It is plastic. But I'm hoping that it is BPA free. Maybe you should check with Brita to be certain. But overall, I like it. Water taste great and no chlorine taste. Just follow the directions when adding/changing filters

Same answer, if it is the 1.5 l pot, the filter is steel. I do have some pots with plastic.

Mine has been out in the elements since I bought it and it has held up pretty well considering the materials its made from. The legs have no rust. The screen and nuts that hold the legs on have just started to show some signs of rust. I do believe it will last longer if you have the option to keep it out of the elements. This one has held up a lot longer than I expected. Hope this helps.

I believe it was aluminum, It was quite sturdy until the canopy was filled up with water. That is when the frame broke....in many places.

it it metal, not sure if aluminum or iron. not supposed to rust. cross arm appears to be the same but I would have to walk down to the lake to check if you need to know for sure

Hi. I've answered this before so will be brief. This strainer is really great and highly recommended. Water contact breaks down the metal .. this can cause rust .. so prevent it. Go to one of the "box stores" and by a can of "clear gloss" Polyurethane (about $7). As soon as you get strainer, take off the rubber feet and wipe it down (don't get it wet). Now, give it a couple of coats of that clear poly. Let completely dry (like overnight if possible). Lightly wash and dry, put on rubber feet and use. It will never rust (mine hasn't after a long time).

mine has one of those gold screen filters but you could fit a standard paper filter in there if you wanted.if you're within driving distance of Oakland you can have mine. I don't use it anymore and i don't think it's worth boxing and selling.

outside is metal,the inside is made of plastic, that the water go's threw, you can't tell from looking at it. It's still a great faucet and can't beat the price.

it does have a screen but does splash. I bought a total of eight faucet from this vendor and all of the faucets from this vendor makes a lot of noise and very noisy. the loook is beautiful but i would not buy anything made in china again. you get what u pay for.

It is metal; not plastic. We have it above our bath tub and it has stayed nice for a long time; but we do not have a full shower in that tub so it doesn't get wet. I don't know if it would rust if it were exposed to water regularly.
