When to replace water bottle
-
After using my nalgene water bottle (still in good condition) for more than a year, wonder if it's time to change to a new one for health reasons.
Anyone can advise the right time to replace one's water bottle?
TIA. -
I don't have such good problem because there is a renewable process in place by default! My girl will lose her water bottle every other month in school.

:laugh: :laugh: I was about to type that but you beat me to it. In our case, maybe every 6 months ? If your child misplaced it in school, pay a visit to the General Office. Maybe they are piling up in the Lost & Found. Remember to label new bottles.Melodies:

I change every once a year, new year, new bottle. So far, this seems ok.

My boy in P1 lost his Chinese text book in week 1 of term 1; lost his wallet in week 5, term 1, and his water bottle in week 6! Now, I am just happy he comes back home in one piece!
As far as I can remember, my nephew is still using his nalgene water bottle for the past 4 years! Is it really necessary to change every year, even if the bottle is still in reasonably good condition? -
hi
i change them every 6mths - same as milk bottles. -
doesn't it stink? i give my kids the ice mountain bottle with a strap, can change every week

No stink from my nephew's bottle. I guess if you wash it properly... Nalgene bottles have big necks, can wash more thoroughly, i guess. -
Don’t use disposable bottles for too long as the harmful chemicals leach out more easily and don’t leave them out in the sun.
My son also loses his water bottles regularly - and finds them back regularly, haha - so I have three water bottles at home. Generally buy either stainless steel or BPA- free plastic bottles. Wash and dry thoroughly every day to prevent mould from growing inside the bottle, around the grooves, and in the plastic lining. I will discard the moment there is mould that cannot be scrubbed out.
I also avoid those with straws as they cannot be cleaned thoroughly and there will definitely be a bad mouldy stale smell in a short time, especially if the water bottles are left in hot places (fields, hot school buses, playground). Once in a while soak thoroughly with detergent and if the bottles can withstand it, scald with hot water.
Agree with tinyseed that big necks are preferable for a thorough hard scrub.
