Question from Pamela
Brilliant website thank you! I’m concerned about the chemicals in our standard jacuzzi tub (all that plastic! and whatever is in the actual tub–hot plastic?)! AND I’m concerned about the old school tub at my ex’ place coated with a chipping paint of sorts. Is there any bathtub on the market made in Europe perhaps–that will be a healthier choice? IT seems there is no regulation and i worry about my son with medical condition and hormone disruptors etc….I know you can lead test but really want to be able to buy or replace what we have but cannot find info on healthier tub material?
Lisa’s Answer
Porcelain-enameled cast iron or porcelain-enameled steel are the best choices, though they can be pricey. You could also have a tub frame built and use all tile on the interior.
