I guess u might be able to find a ROHS compliant one, that would have no lead in it.

i sent a message asking about it the reply was,
THE TANKS ARE PLASTIC, THE TUBES ARE BRASS, THE FINS ARE COPPER AND THEY ARE ALL BONDED USING SOLDER. HOPE THAT HELPS.

theres a lot of threads about using car radiators they all say aluminum is bad with copper blocks but thats not new.. none of them seem to comment on the solder in a copper core radiator.. im thinking that if it were a problem it would corrode the actual radiator anyway, and if it were surely there would be a seal between the lead and the liquid to prevent contact.

any thoughts?
