What is the shelf life of bottled water?
Answers:
i believe its a good 3 years. but im sure there is an expiration date on it too. you could always check that and that will give you a more accurate time limit.
unopened should be able to last about 2 years. if opened, unrefrigerated water would last about 2 months before it starts to smell funny. care must be taken to not store the water bottles in direct sunlight or in areas with extreme hot or cold temperatures.
In the United States bottled water's shelf life is date stamped for two years.
Properly stored bottled water has indefinitely shelf live. However, long-term storage of bottled water may result in aesthetic defects, such as off-odor and taste.
IBWA advises consumers to store bottled water in an unopened container at room temperature (or cooler), out of direct sunlight and away from solvents and chemicals such as gasoline, paint thinners and dry cleaning chemicals.
