Proper way to store bottled water

Bottled water, if not stored properly, can be harmful to your health! Check out these 5 essential storage tips to avoid chemical exposure.

 

Avoid direct sunlight

If exposed to direct sunlight, plastic bottles can heat up and chemicals may leach into the water. In particular, chemicals such as Bisphenol A (BPA) are likely to leach out. Therefore, bottled water should be stored in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight.

Avoid high-temperature environments

Plastic bottles may deform or harmful chemicals may leach into the water in high-temperature environments. This can affect the taste and quality of the water. Especially during summer, storing bottled water inside a vehicle can cause issues with the water bottles due to the heated interior air.

 

Therefore, storing bottled water in high-temperature environments or inside vehicles can be dangerous.

Prohibition of PET bottle reuse

Sometimes, people reuse PET bottles after drinking all the water. Additionally, single-use plastic bottles are not designed for reuse, and bacteria can grow in them when reused. Furthermore, during cleaning, the bottles can become damaged, and tiny plastic particles may mix into the water.

It is best not to reuse PET bottles whenever possible, and if you need a water bottle, it is safer to purchase and use a reusable water bottle.

 

Bottled water storage period

Did you know that bottled water also has an expiration date? Bottled water has an expiration date, and old water may taste different or lose quality. In particular, water stored in plastic bottles may have chemicals leach into it over long periods. Check the expiration date of bottled water and consume it as soon as possible after opening.

How to store opened bottled water

Do you just leave bottled water at room temperature after opening? Microorganisms can grow after opening. Therefore, if stored at room temperature, it is best to drink it all within 1 to 2 days.

 

The best method is to store it in the refrigerator. Keep the lid tightly closed to minimize contact with air and prevent contaminants from entering. The low temperature inside the refrigerator inhibits bacterial growth, allowing the water to maintain its quality for about 3 to 5 days.

If the water has passed its expiration date, the taste may change or bacteria may grow, so it is best to consume it as soon as possible or discard any spoiled water.
