Dumb question I am sure but will ask anyway because I ain't sure. If bottled water has been kept cold in storage for a few weeks to a month will it hurt it to bring it in warmer weather(room temperature)?

Does it hurt water to get real cold and warm back up multiple times? I don't think it does but just wanna make sure before I drink it.

I do that all the time, no problem. What you have to worry about is refilling the bottle all the time without washing it. Backwash is yummy.

Bottled water, unlike tap water, has no chlorine in it.

If you open a bottle and don't drink all of it, throw it away. After a couple days, things will start growing in it. Tap water is good for about a week just sitting around before the chlorine evaporates.

I thought that was because you OPENED the bottle and drank out of it? Your mouth has bacteria that can grow inside the bottle.

^ Yeah, what he said.

If it hasn't been opened, though, you're good to go.

If left open the chlorine from tap water will evaporate in less than 24 hours.
