How long can I keep filtered water before I should refresh it?Updated 3 months ago
We recommend using your filtered water within 1–2 days, and keeping your pitcher or dispenser in the fridge once it’s filled.
Unlike tap water, filtered water no longer contains chlorine — the disinfectant that normally helps keep water fresh during storage. This means it can pick up bacteria more easily if left standing for too long.
Tips for keeping your filtered water fresh
- Store your pitcher or dispenser in the fridge as soon as it’s filled.
- Keep the jug or reservoir clean — wash it regularly to prevent bacteria or algae build-up.
- Avoid letting filtered water sit at room temperature for extended periods.
- If in doubt, pour it out and filter a fresh batch.
