What do you think about using these qd fittings with drinking safe garden hose for a mixing station.

Yes. Plastic fittings are better than cheap fake brass, etc. that will probably leach metals into your nice mixed saltwater. I like the RV hose. :)
 
Many garden hoses contain lead. Lead is in a lot of things that are made of supple plastics or synthetic rubbers. It is the ingredient used to treat the product that makes the material supple so that it does not crack or wear as quickly. Warm water coming out of your standard garden hose will likely have lead in it as the longer the water sits in the hose, the more time the lead will have to leach into the water.
