How Many Times Can You Refill a Water Bottle??

Question

My mom and me were just curious how many times you can refill a water bottle.

Answer 1

well if it was one that you buy in the store then two or three times I was told it builds up with bacteria if you keep using it. the ones that are reusable then as many times a you want just keep it washed and clean or until it is broken

Answer 2

ill use more than 20 times.

this is why i buy plastic labeled bottle. not paper one.

Answer 3

I replace my water bottles about every 2 weeks. When I go to the store I buy a 12 pack of water bottles, I make it last 2 weeks. I use about 3 at a time, and replace them every few days.I am mostly the only one who drinks from those bottles, and occasionally my toddler takes a drink.

Answer 4

2 or 3 times, then bacteria starts to grow in it

Answer 5

If it's a soft plastic bottle (like Aquafina, Evian, etc.), I would suggest no more than 3 times.  But seriously, you should consider getting a reusable sturdy bottle - so much better for the environment! :)

Answer 6

It would not be good to do it more than 3 times because of the germs and bacteria. Every time you fill it up it will get worse in worse. It isn't bad if you do it 3 or less times. It is good because you are recycling!

FINAL ANSWER: 3 TIMES

Answer 7

6 times wothout geting a plastic taste in the water.

Answer 8

Do you mean a store bought bottle of water? Like a bottle of Poland Springs or Fiji. Reusing single-use bottles is a common domestic practice. Typically the bottle is washed out with warm soapy water after each use. Periodically a bleach solution may be employed to kill bacteria. Washing and re-using bottles cuts down on waste and landfill, and drinking tap water is much less resource-intensive than buying commercially bottled water.
