Water In A Kettle
22 Answers
i only use my kettle a few times a week, but usually there is some water left in there from the last time.
how many days can you leave boiled water in a kettle, and then still use it?
i know it wont kill me etc, i mean when does it lose its quality or taste weird etc
when is it no longer ok to reboil it and use it?
i know tapwater in a glass at room temp starts to go weird tasting after about a day, & about 4 days, it can start to yellow
but the water in the kettle has been boiled immediately from the tap.
just curious.
any thoughts?
thanks :)

I use my kettle everyday, but if there is plenty of water left from the day before, I will use that, but I would then empty it and put fresh water in the following day.
Don't think I would use water that's been in there for more than 2 days.

when does it start going off ?
oh, weeks, see mariupol
I had half a fizzy codeine in water and didnt want to drink it ( hallucinations) so kept it just in case. 21 d before going yellow
Depends on the history - I dont think I would drink bath water unless under duress...My dog drinks from the lavatory pan but....

Like Hopkirk we have very, very hard water. After a couple of days you can see chunks of limescale floating around (Pictorially, think of 'Desperate Dan' with attitude.) At this point I tip it out of the side into a jug, run a little fresh water through the spout to clear the filter and then tip that all into the jug as well. This water is then used to revive house-plants. They don't seem to mind the bits.
I can't see any problem with reusing boiled water.
