Clear Plastic Tubing Home Depot
It would probably be fine. You could ask the store or the manufacturer. You can also ask them what type of plastic it is and if it contains BPA. It seems like it was made for water to go in so hopefully it would not degrade over time like how cheap plastic thin water bottles you buy from the store often do, that's why it's recommended not to re-use those non-reusable water bottles to many times or else you will see it degrade and see plastic partials and will be consuming plastic and that's bad for your health. If you try to scratch the surface, if it does not scratch easily, then it's a better quality, compared to others that would degrade fast. As long as it will not degrade, it should be ok. Also if it doesn't smell like anything, it should be ok. If it smells strongly like chemicals than that's probably bad, and you don't want to be consuming those chemicals are leaching out. If at any point the plastic starts to degrades so that plastic partials are falling off, you should at least use a filter, because you don't want to consume plastic particles. You can also start out with putting a small high quality water purifier at the drinking end, just to make sure.
No problem Everyone uses it for making Wine and Beer
