How long does water last in a water container?

According to the Swedish Food Agency, it is difficult to say exactly how long water can be stored in a water container, as it depends on various factors such as water quality and the conditions where the container is stored. Under really good conditions, such as dark and cool storage, the water can stay fresh for many months. It is recommended to regularly, every few months, check the water quality by looking, smelling, and tasting. Water that smells or tastes bad should be replaced. For people with normally functioning immune systems, drinking water in the container never becomes dangerous if it was originally of drinking water quality and the container was clean when filled. If you're unsure, you can always complement with water purification tablets to ensure the water remains drinkable during long-term storage. You can also supplement with a water filter and you can always boil the water if you feel unsure or have a weakened immune system.

How often should you change the water in a water container?

It is recommended to change the water in a water container at least once or twice a year. Make it a habit to regularly check your drinking water supply to ensure it maintains good quality. Cleaning is also an important part of keeping the water fresh. According to the Swedish Food Agency, containers should be thoroughly cleaned before use, and an effective method is to rinse the containers with a mild solution of water and chlorine. Take 1 ml (one teaspoon) of chlorine (e.g., bleach) to 3 liters of water and let it sit for 30 minutes. After the chlorine treatment, the container needs to be rinsed thoroughly and allowed to dry before filling with drinking water. This helps prevent bacterial growth and extends the shelf life of your water.

Care and maintenance

To ensure that your collapsible water container functions optimally and lasts a long time, regular care and maintenance are important:

Cleaning: Thoroughly clean the container before use, and consider using a mild chlorine solution to keep it free from bacteria and microorganisms (note that you rinse with a chlorine solution, you should not have chlorine in the water you store).
Storage: Store the container in a dark and cool place to extend the shelf life of the water.
Use of water purification tablets: If you store water for longer periods or fill the container from unreliable sources, it is recommended to use water purification tablets or a water filter to ensure the water remains drinkable.

The results show that no prohibited plasticizers or chlorinated paraffins have been detected and that any traces of heavy metals are far below the applicable limits.

Phthalates (e.g., DEHP, DBP, BBP, DIBP, DINP, DIDP, DNOP, DCHP, etc.): Not detected (below detection limit)
Phthalate substitutes (DINCH): Not detected
Short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCP, C10–C13): Not detected (analysis according to ISO 22818:2021)
Heavy metals: Lead (Pb): 0.56 mg/kg (limit 1,000 mg/kg), Cadmium (Cd): <0.01 mg/kg (limit 100 mg/kg), Mercury (Hg): <0.01 mg/kg (limit 1,000 mg/kg), Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)): Not detected (limit 1,000 mg/kg)
