Similarly, water from your rain water tanks / containers should also be kept in the dark (i.e. with a lid on your storage vessel) to prevent the growth of algae.
Just a warning: This might seem very silly of me, but since I never gave it much thought, others might be the same. We put a 5l water bottle into one of our carpeted bedrooms while we were painting in another room, and out painter smelt a burning smell in the early afternoon. He went to investigate and he saw a hole burning through the carpet from the sun going through the water bottle (acting like a magnifying glass). Luckily he was there to prevent any further damage or possible fires. Since everyone has been stocking up on the 5l bottles, please keep it away from any sunlit areas (as the bottle warning suggests). As I said, a silly mistake but one that can be made so easily.
Justin Hewitt Full wine glass left in a window makes a fire, store wine and water out of the sun, says so on the label, but you have to read the fine print
🤪Peter Tarrant We had a similar thing happen on Saturday while unloading water bottles on pallets, happened twice within an hour. Good to take note when putting water bottles into the back of cars where the sun can get to them.
