Jug water is safe when it leaves the plant, but storing it badly can still affect quality. A few simple habits keep the water fresh.
Jug water is sealed when it leaves the plant. How you store the jug before and after opening it still affects the quality of the water.
Before use
- Keep the jug somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight.
- Keep it away from fuel, chemicals and anything with a strong smell.
- Do not stack jugs so high that they deform.
- Check the seal and the use-by date before fitting the jug.
Once it is on the dispenser
- Try to finish the jug within a reasonably short time after opening.
- Wipe the neck of the jug clean before fitting it.
- Clean the dispenser regularly.
