Why is refilling them bad? IOW, these water battles come full of water. It has sat on a shelf somewhere for no telling how long. Why doesn't the chemicals that are bad for you come of into that water? It seems that "refilling" them, which for me usually involves refilling and drinking them the same day...often within a few hours is going to provide less opportunity for those chemicals to leach out than when they sit for days or weeks in a warehouse then on the store shelves.

We only have a well and our water has very high iron content and God knows what else because I don't have the money to test for every toxic substance/bacteria (coliform test was negative). Our only alternative is bottled water. Sucks.

I recently felt sick, dizzy, light headed, a emptiness in my stomach, after drinking from a bottle that had water and had been sitting in my car for weeks. Is there a possibility of bacteria?

I live in Atlanta and know that my water from the Hooche is not good for me!
I have purchased spring water for years in gallon plastic bottles.
Should I switch to glass?
