Expiration on Opened Distilled Water Bottle

[Dmitri]

I would buy a new one just in case, the price is low enough.

I think I'll go ahead and just buy a new one every other month. Seems like a waste though to only use a small portion of the one gallon and then throw out the rest.

Thanks

Make ice cubes out of the rest - your ice tea will never know the difference!

If you are hesitating over the $$$ of distilled water, you have entered the wrong hobby my friend! We eventually burn the things we decide are the most precious

If he's scared about it being no good to humidify cigars, I'm guessing he probably doesn't want to drink it either.

How about watering the house plants instead?

Drying it out and making distilled dry packs for camping - just add distilled water!

Washing the car bumpers with it?

Rinsing out the kitty litter box?

Refilling the puddle in the backyard?

So many uses for distilled water...so little time.

I'll stick with watering the plants.

I pretty sure you shouldn't drink it. Distilled water has the natural water-solible minerals removed by boiling and collecting the condensed water vapor. Once the distilled water hits your disgestive track it will pull minerals and other elecrolytes out of your tissue up an intil it reachs equlibrium with the surronding tissue. Not what you want to happen.

To be sure I wasn't blowing smoke out my ass I googled it.

I better start making out my will.

I looked at a bottle of unopened distilled water I had that had been sitting around for a couple months and noticed a stamp near the lid. The bottle I have says "Use before Feb19 07."


Anyways, I don't think it will "expire" any time soon. If your bottle is only a year old I wouldn't worry about buying another one for at least a year
