Does this product feature plastic water reservoir and other plastic water line conduit components? Of concern here are the potential health effects...

Yes, it does much to our chagrin. The tank is food grade plastic and the tubes are silicon. We use it anyway, because it has SO many other components that DO NOT have plastic or aluminum. It makes GREAT coffee! We use spring water in the tank, and figure it's getting heated in the brass boiler, so at least it's not a lot of leaching....after looking into so many coffee makers, this one won over the rest. My husband wants to make a stainless steel or copper lining for the tank. Hope this is helpful.

Yes. Reservoir is plastic, and hoses/tubes are plastic-y. I can't speak to any health effects, but I would've preferred a stainless tank, too

I believe it's plastic but there may be some metal parts, too. Not to worry. It's a great showerhead.

No, there are no plastic parts inside the kettle. So water does not touch non plastic parts.

There is plastic inside the body - above the area where the water level is and near the spout. The lid's knob is plastic.

Yes, as you can see the clear water dispenser is plastic & water goes into it & down a hard plastic tube. I don't if that answers your question but hope so.

No, the plastic tubing and the unit fittings are integrated. This replaced another similar unit, so the cold water line was already tapped--no fittings involved. I've been pleased with the unit, the faucet is higher quality than you sometimes find with these things, and so far it just works. Haven't changed out the filter yet, but it looks pretty easy.

Yes, it is plastic but I personally do not find issue with that. The special water rotation that delta achieves is very nice. I find it to be very invigorating and very pleasant. I love this shower head it spoils me when I use other showers elsewhere in the world I am disappointed by the showering experiece. and so happy to get home to it.

Doesn't Healthy Stuff testing show the lead content? Don't you think they should? I do not know what the lead content is, but I bought this hose (2 of them actually) as the description states "Commercial grade machined brass fittings are specially plated to prevent lead from leaching into the water. A truly drinking water safe product." It is a tough choice: plastic fittings, which have no lead, but may break easily, or brass fittings, with lead, which are more durable. I honestly don't know what the best answer is, and no, I do not have a better answer to your question. I wish I did. Doesn't Healthy Stuff testing show the lead content? Don't you think they should?

No - it is all plastic. I purchased 2. One works great, the other always leaks.

Jane, the answer is no, there are not any plastic parts which make contact with the water. Also, the unit is great and is value for dollar. I highly recommend.

Yes, there are plastic parts, but they are at the top of the kettle, and the water does not touch them.

some plastic components but very well made. shower has been in use for 8 months and entire spray works with no clogged holes. The hand held hose resists cakeing with soap residue. I would rate this 5stars except for the problems with supply hoses upon installation. good luck

There is no plastic in this teakettle. The water is held in a glass teapot with metal on the bottom. Maybe the base unit is plastic, but the water does not come in contact with that.

Yes, plastic. What I like most about it is the small hole in the spout. Something I have found hard to find.

yes, I checked. there is plastic in the spout, but so far there has been no melting, or visible change in the spout. does that answer your question? and I'm curious-why is this an issue? Are you concerned re: melting?
