Other users have said 6 months and you can retreat the stored water again. Personally, I treat two 55 gal barrels. Start recycling from one. after 6 months I refill and treat that barrel. retreat the 2nd barrel and start recycling from that one. then keep switching barrels. If I chose not to recycle the water, I would retreat once and replace with fresh water after 1 year.

I added the formula to the existing water (make sure you have good circulation) and didn't do a water change until I had completed the treatment (it suggests this on the bottle as well). Just be very careful with scaless fish such as puffers b/c the treatment is pretty toxic for them.

I don't know. The date's been rubbed off my container. As I recall, my last container lasted several months, and the date was far from the time I ran out. I usually check these things when I receive them, and don't recall being concerned about the date.

I transfer to a jar after softening as directed . I just finished a jar after a few months on the shelf and it was delicious as always. Usually it gets used within a month or so. Great product.

I use Aerobic 07 to treat water which I store in large drums, at a (researched) ration of 1 drop per gallon. I actually add just a bit more for my own peace of mind. I also use it daily in all of my drinking water and my coffee. For that, I am more generous with it than if I were just treating water for storage.

You use what you've mixed up at that time. It will store, I understand, for a few days in the refrigerator if not totally used at the time. You need to beat it again to get the air back into the mix again at that time. If you keep it longer than that, it will dry out or spoil. The package was smaller than I'd pictured, also.

calibration solution is about 1oz and storage is very little I made up the calibration and stored it in the refrigerator for about a month then it became unstable and i got rid of it as for storage solution it was maybe 10cc and I have been using filtered water to store it in seems to be working very well...Good Luck

Doesn't hurt it in my experience.Well I haven't ever noticed any issue, but as long as the water is kept fresh (replace every 2-3 days) heck, its okay. We usually use that first 1 tbl. of butter pretty quick too so it isn't in contact for very long.

Sawyer makes no claims on how long this will last in storage because storage conditions vary so widely. Because it's a filter, not a chemical purifier, it should last almost indefinitely in perfect storage conditions. Even in poor storage conditions with wide temperature variations, moisture, light, etc.... the filter doesn't really break down until the conditions affect the components, which are mostly plastic. That takes a very long time. I don't want to guess on just how long, but if it's unused, I would think a few decades. If it used chemicals that would be different, but it does not so there's nothing but the case and filter which will last many years.

Im not sure i will tast some just for you, i also used a water hose filter that i got off of amazon. And if you store it out of the sun in a cool place it should have less of a tast to it. Just tasted it and it tast pretty good. Its about 6 months old. I rinsed it out befor filling it up too.

I have been using water treatment to the water immediately after filling it back up, and so far no issues. I have done this method for 2 years now. The product cannot treat the water first.

For me, that other brand lasted only three weeks after the first application; thereafter, subsequent applications lasted fewer and fewer days - I believe the chemicals used to sanitize the SPA defeated the other brand. By comparison, this brand had its first application about three weeks before I posted the review; that one application is still holding and I am actively using my hot tub weekly.

No idea! Go to the Aquasana website and see if you can find the information there. If not, give them a call, they'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.
