    Search this plumbing form for similar problem. I did a brief search but couldn't it but there have previous post about this problem. Problem seems to be a hose that is used on a certain brand of faucet. Don't remember the brand, may have been Moen.

    Would I replace the hose or it it harmful? Or it is safe?
