Plain water(expiry)
-
we all know that everything that we eat or drink has a expiry date..leaving it untouched for too long, it will spoil
e.g: milk that is left not open for 1-2 months
so what about plain drinking water? how long before it is considered "harmful" for drinking?

when you see c0ckroach floating...

Normally if leave overnight or so, lets say around 24 hours, a stale smell will already form inside the bottle.

but no bacteria mahOriginally posted by mhcampboy:no.
try la..try la -
this one very contaminated....room temperature is best for the breeding of bacteria.....any water boiled or otherwise left to stand for more than a few days is unsafe....bottled water can last as long as it is unopened...Originally posted by hegu:this reminds me of my saf water bottle i had for guard duty. always full for checking but i nvr drank from it...

You think you buy from supermarket always 'fresh' de, but sometimes maybe left for don't know how many donkey months. -
Mineral water got expiry date? I never go check out.

we all know that boiled water and left to stand has been exposed to bacteriaOriginally posted by countdracula:this one very contaminated....room temperature is best for the breeding of bacteria.....any water boiled or otherwise left to stand for more than a few days is unsafe....bottled water can last as long as it is unopened...
however, the water which is bottled up has been flitered to a lowest minimal amount of bacteria but how clean the water is, there are still some bacteria in it, so how long does it take before its unsafe to drink? -
no la..i curious..actually this one i want to ask loooong time ago..but always forget to askOriginally posted by mhcampboy:wtf.. crazie ar u today?

might as well i boil my own water! -
The physical conditions the bottle is in also contributes to how fast the bacteria breeds. If you keep in cool supermarket-like temperature should be not much of a problem for months, maybe years?Originally posted by StarPuppy:we all know that boiled water and left to stand has been exposed to bacteria
however, the water which is bottled up has been flitered to a lowest minimal amount of bacteria but how clean the water is, there are still some bacteria in it, so how long does it take before its unsafe to drink?
And vice-versa.
Why u need exact duration???

When it gets contaminated.Originally posted by StarPuppy:so what about plain drinking water? how long before it is considered "harmful" for drinking?
Spring water could've been there for billions of years before it's bottled anyway.
