Hello,

I recently read an article in a local newspaper stating that even factory filled plastic bottles are not very safe. The closer you get to the "best before" date, the more "poison" is in the bottle. So keeping the water until the "best before" date migt not be the best idea.

Using and rotating the water as stated by someone else in this thread might be a better idea. Or not using plastic containers (or another type of plastic?).

I found an article about the subject on the net.
