Can I Store lukewarm water in this container. Wont the plastic melt off?

Lukewarm won't be a problem. It is sturdy bpa free enviro plastic. I wouldn't store boiling water in there but I use very hot tap water to clean it on occasion and it's not a problem.

Most plastic water jugs are to be washed with warm to hot soapy water so, I see no reason why lukewarm water would not be fine.

Yes, Lukewarm water is fine but I'd also consider paying $5 more for Bluewave or something else with a little tip to have air flow for smooth water flow. This one, I have to leave the cap slightly open vs Bluewave brands w an air breather.

Lukewarm shouldn't be a problem. I generally rinse mine out with hot tap water.

No, the product will not melt but will become a little more tacky. I have had mine for a few months now and noticed that with the change in temp. (summer to winter or from around 90f to 20f) the Sticky will become a little more brittle and a little less tacky. It seems also to pick up every bit of dust in the air, because of the tacky nature of the plastic it is made of. Still works well and holds items but a little less tacky than first purchased. Have had item a few months now. Its not expensive so I would say give it a try.

No and why would you want it to. Even if all the ice melts at least your drinks would still be in cold water. Also, after having this at the lake for a couple of long hot summer days, the best thing to do is to set a regular cooler inside of it. Ice stays much longer. What ever size cooler you can fit in there, it will hold it. We have a 56 quart cooler with wheels and it fits in there just fine. Hope this helps. This thing is super though and if you plan to spend all day floating, this is a must.

Yes, there's really no way to avoid this all together. Stoves with a narrower flame help, but there will still be some heat conducted from the cup to the handles. Some products have plasti-dip coating that insulates however it will eventually melt. I have read that silicone air line tubing for aquariums doesn't melt but haven't tried it. Shirt sleeves and/or a bandana work well.

This bottle isn't insulated. It's a thicker plastic - the water will stay cold if you put ice in it - it will stay cold about the same amount of time it does in a plastic glass.

Yes but it will not damage the plastic. The best thermos I have ever purchased!

It's a hot plate so I image plastic would melt. I believe it is designed for galvanized water feeders.

I would use only heat proof. The unit gets pretty hot. Melted plastic is not fun believe me.

It is completely safe in the sense that it cannot get hot enough to damage or melt plastic. It may still make the water too warm however, it all depends on the ambient (room) temperature. This has no thermostat, it simply emits 5 watts worth of heat all the time. You would need to try it with a thermometer, and be aware if the room gets warmer so will the water. All the parameters in only a half gallon of water will fluctuate rapidly and are difficult to control- if this is for livestock and you can get something larger you will find it much easier and much better for the inhabitants.

It won't melt, it will fry... After the plastic expands and contracts because of the cold/heat, it looses it's integrity and the picture will dry up in flakes =[

I wouldn't think the plastic would be in that water very long to react. Mine gets refilled every 4 days. And you would want to refreeze the bottle as well. But I just use regular ice cubes.

Marissa, sad to say I returned mine. We took 4 different bottles (this one amongst the 4) to disneyworld because I wanted the water to stay icy cold. The 2 thermos funtainers (both for kids but they make thermos adult with straw) and the Eco Vessel insulated stainless steel with straw stayed icy cold in 98 degree weather with ice cubes floating in them at end of day at parks. Sadly, this black one, the water was warm within 4 hours. Couldn't believe it. My main thing is that they have to stay cold. This one did NOT. I know the thermos is dishwasher safe but the Eco you are suppose to wash by hand which kind if stinks. But cold water is my priority. This one sadly did not keep it cold.

no. it's cheap and it leaks with even cold beverages. plastic wouldn't hold up to hot.

The don't explode if drop. Retail plastic bottles of water, (off the store shelf,)do not take sitting in heat for very long at all. They will leak and deteriorate.

I dont think so, the plastic is pretty thin. I think it would melt. I never tried it.

It shouldn't melt the plastic being that the heater is in a plastic cage to protect the turtle from breaking the glass heater inside...as far as keeping him warm it depends on how many gallons are inside of the baby pool this is rated for 20gallon aquariums. Plus you have to think about the outside temperature around the pool.
