if there's an expiration date, then read it...

If it's reasonably sealed in a container that will protect it from contamination, it should last a good long time. I had a case of commercial bottled water that was 2 years past the "Good to" date marked on it, and I drank it with no ill effects.

Answer 3

A new report warns that people's thirst for bottled water is producing unnecessary garbage and consuming vast quantities of energy, even in areas where perfectly good drinking water is available on

The easiest way to purify water is by keeping it at a rolling boil for 10 minutes to kill any disease-causing bacteria. To improve the taste, try adding a pinch of salt to each quart

If your bottling water yourself , they say to every 2 weeks to refresh your supply
I freeze mine and is good till opened

Answer 4

Depends on how clean the bottle was before you filled it and if the bottle is made of glass or plastic.

And if the glass or plastic clear or darkened.

Glass and darkended bottles last longer than plastic/clear bottles.
Difference = 1 month to 5 months.

Answer 5

Depends on the clorine content and a lot of other variables. if you are going to store water, keep a store of water purification tablets with your water. Plus boil the water if it has been stored for more than a year. Better to be safe than sorry.
