Why is there an expiry date on bottled water and not on tap water.?!
Answers: good question , i think everything has to have an expiry date on it's the law i believe!
because tap water is from a constant supply
kind of obvious isn't it!
Hmmm--just to make it seem better than tap,which it usually is not.
There is, it is on the inside of the tap so you cannot see it!!!
Bottled water is stationary and prone to get build up of bacteria. Tap water keeps moving and usually has clorine or something in it to kill bacteria.
I didn't even know there was an expiry date on bottled water!
I suspect because it's because of the other person has said, it's a constant supply whereas bottled water is just the same water sitting there in a bottle!
Nothing would happen if you drank some water that had gone past the expiration date though I don't think...
Because you buy bottle water and everything you buy through a shop must have expiry dates on them.
Because it is rather difficult to write the expiry date on tap water.
Over time bottled water will pick up the flavor of the plastic.

it has something to do with the specific texture of the H20 bottle... observe that you'll see most of the expiry dates on plastic bottles
i beleive that too much exposure of mineral, purified, water with sealed plastic containers reduces the inflow and outflow of oxygen which is essential to the minerals we had on our bottled waters wwhere we pay the extra quarters for besides the bottles...
and tap water came from unlimited free flowing sources like dams that has natural negative ions that negates bacteria ü
Most bottled water IS tap water! Lame, huh? It might have an expiration date because the plastic bottle slowly leaches toxins into the water. Which is why I carry a glass jar around with me to fill with drinking water.
Because after that date thats when the chemicals from the bottle start seeping into the water...tap water is always fresh so no need for an expiry date.
ooh, I never thought of that. Very interesting.........
It has nothing to do with the fact mineral water goes off. Natural Mineral Water, Spring Water and Bottled Drinking Water Regulations do not specify a requirement to display a best before date, however best before dates as well as production and batch numbers which allow products to be traced are required legally under the Food Labelling Regulation 1996, Regulations 21 and 22 and by the Food (Lot Marking Regulations 1996).
Also Best Before Dates are different to Use By Dates. You can still drink bottled water well after it's BB date but for example Sparkling Spring Water will tend to lose it's sparkle after a certain length of time.
do you have too much time on your hands???
