How Long Can You Leave Water in Your Santevia System?
It’s important to ensure that the water you drink remains fresh and safe. Here’s what you need to know about how long you can leave water in the system:
Room Temperature
At room temperature, water should be consumed within 2 days. Beyond this time, the chemical and organoleptic properties (such as taste, smell, and appearance) of the water may start to change. While it may still be safe to drink, these changes could affect its quality and freshness.
Refrigerated Water
When stored in the fridge, water can be kept for up to 1 week. Refrigeration slows down the changes in pH and taste, keeping your water fresher for a longer period.
Why Does This Happen?
Over time, exposure to air and the environment can lead to:
A slight drop in pH, as carbon dioxide from the air dissolves into the water.
Potential growth of microorganisms if the system or water is not properly maintained.
Alterations in taste due to prolonged storage.
Best Practices
Regularly clean your Santevia system according to the care instructions.
Refill your system with fresh water every 2 days at room temperature or within 1 week if refrigerated.
If the water tastes off or smells unusual, discard it and refill with fresh, filtered water.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure that the water from your Santevia system stays fresh, clean, and enjoyable to drink.
