does water expire?

Answer 1

Water does not, but bottled water does. The companies that bottle water guarantee its fresh taste and purity for a fixed period only, usually something fairly long like a couple of years. After it expires it should be safe to drink, but might have a stale taste - or it might not, but the bottling company does not guarantee the quality after that point.

Answer 2

In case you are wondering, I'll tell you. Water is known as the universal solvent. What that means is that it will absorb almost anything. So, even though it's been on earth for millions of years, once you put water in a bottle it's life is limited. Its actually better for you to drink tap water than bottle water because florescent lights, the kind of lights that illuminate every convenience store in the world, help grow bacteria. During the bottling process, there are various processes used to clean up the water including filtration and ozonation. If too much ozone was added, the plastic will leach into the bottles. If too little ozone was added, bacteria can start growing immediately. Awesome!

Now, take that gross tap water. The tap water that arrives at your house is just hours from where it has continuously been tested for hundreds of contaminants. Even with a bottled date, I would prefer freshly tested water than water that has been in a bodega or in a corporate pantry for months. Next, if your teeth important to you you should almost definitely skip bottled water. While bottled water does not have fluoride, most city municipal systems add fluoride to their supply.

Answer 3

Water does not expire.
It can get stale or absorb other components that make it taste bad or unhealthy to drink.
But you can purify water and it's as good to drink as the first time you had a taste.
The water on Earth has been here for millions of years and nature has her own purifying process.
So Water doesn't expire.

Believe it or not, YES. Actually, though, it's the plastic bottle the water is IN that leaches into the water. Water itself is billions of years old.
