Is the KTW ACQUABLUÂ® approved drinking water hose safe for potable water and compliant with KTW, DVGW W270, WRAS, and D.M.174 approvals?

Yes. The KTW ACQUABLUÂ® approved drinking water hose is safe for potable water and compliant with the listed approvals. It is specifically intended for transmission of cold drinking water (+23Â°C) in households, campgrounds and similar applications. The inner layer is food-grade, odorless and tasteless (preserving organoleptic properties), phthalate-free, and meets food-contact standards (EC 1935/2004, EC 2023/2006 GMP, 21CFR 177.1520, BfR III, 10/2011/EU). It holds drinking-water approvals including KTW, DVGW W270 (Germany), WRAS per BS 6920 (UK), and D.M.174 (Italy), and adheres to UBA guidelines. General regulatory compliance includes RoHS (EC 2002/95) and REACH (EC 1907/2006). Construction: white plastomer inner layer, synthetic braid reinforcement, blue synthetic rubber outer layer resistant to weather. Operating specs: working pressure 20 bar, temperature range -30Â°C to +60Â°C.

Does the KTW ACQUABLUÂ® approved drinking water hose meet food-contact regulations like EU 1935/2004 and FDA 21CFR 177.1520?

Yes. The KTW ACQUABLUÂ® approved drinking water hose is intended for cold drinking water and its inner layer is foodâgrade, odorless and tasteless. It carries approvals/standards covering drinking water (KTW, DVGW W270, UBA guideline, D.M.174, WRAS/BS 6920) and explicitly lists food-contact standards for the inner layer: EU 1935/2004, EU 2023/2006 (GMP), EU 10/2011 (inner layer), BfR III and US FDA 21 CFR 177.1520. Therefore it meets the cited EU and FDA foodâcontact regulations for its inner layer.

Can the KTW ACQUABLUÂ® approved drinking water hose withstand outdoor weathering while preserving water quality?

Yes. The KTW ACQUABLUÂ® approved drinking water hose is specifically designed for outdoor use while preserving water quality. Its inner layer is a food-grade, odorless and tasteless plastomer that is phthalate-free and complies with multiple food-contact and safety standards (KTW, DVGW W270, WRAS/BS 6920, D.M.174, 1935/2004/EC, 2023/2006/EC, 21CFR 177.1520, BfR III, 10/2011/EU), ensuring unchanged organoleptic properties of water. The outer blue synthetic rubber layer is weather-resistant and the reinforced synthetic braid provides mechanical strength. Rated for operating temperatures -30Â°C to +60Â°C and a working pressure of 20 bar, it is suitable for households, campgrounds and similar outdoor applications while maintaining potable water safety.
