Question: How long does it take for a glass of water to go bad!?
Was just wondering!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
water on its own cannot as you put it "go bad" as it is inorganic in natur!.
it can go stale if left in a glass for a long period of time (2 weeks + in a temperate climate such as england)
or stagnent if bilogicle matter getsinto it and rots but water itself cannot go bad!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Probably a couple days, when dust starts to settle on it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Its not that water goes bad, per say!. Its just stagnant!. It has less oxygen content and whatever dust has fallen in the room over time has also fallen into your glass!. I always leave a glass of water beside my bed at night, and by the next morning its not as nice as it was, but its still fine!. Like with food, fresh is always best!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

wtf is he going on about ^^^^Www@FoodAQ@Com

The water itself doesn't go bad but the container can gain bacteria and can cause the water to become contaminated!. So if it's in a plastic or glass cup you could give it about 3 months and a bottled water you could say about 6 months and up!. I know a person that just keeps all of her water (drank or not) in her fridge and it took about 8 months and mold started to grow in the pre-opened bottles!. It's just what time it takes for the formation of bacteria to peak!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Water in an open container /glass can start going algae in about a week!.

If you go to a store and buy purified drinking water in plastic jugs you can that is sealed up you can store it indefinitely!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

at least 1 day if its in the warmthWww@FoodAQ@Com

Water wont go bad for a week but airborne pathogens can and will get into the water and can cause all kinds of distress!. Plus you dont know what was in the coffe maker that has been sitting there!. So yes that could have been the cause of your stomach problems
SorryWww@FoodAQ@Com

Just to make sure, if I bring a glass of water to my room, I change it everyday!. Because since I drink in a glass, my saliva goes their and it contains bacteria plus if the room is kinda warm and there are dust in the air that will fall in the water, bacteria will probably grow in 24 hrs!. If I use a pitcher, I change it every other day!. You just do not know how fast bacteria grow!. In a petri dish with agar left in a room, within 24 hrs you can just see the colonies appear covering the whole dish!. Although it is not the same with a glass of water, you can't be too sure, can you!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

if anyone knows anyone or knows any links i can go to, please let me know!.!. i am really desperate and i dont have money to invest with!.!.!. and i just want work from Australia not overseas!.!. please help :(
