Health concerns!: There are health concerns you should be aware of if you reuse water bottles. Bacteria can grow in the water bottles & so if you plan to reuse them after each use they should be cleaned with with soap & hot water, the same as when you clean cups after a meal. Otherwise use a new bottle each time. If you instead use a tumbler than clean that often! I wish you well with your health!
