After that 5 year mark, certain materials and/or their packaging begin to break down. This means they may no longer be safe to use, or as effective as you need them to be.

Does water expire?
Fact: Water does not expire. It can become contaminated (chemically or biologically), but in the absence of outside contaminants it doesn’t “go bad.” Water can have a stale taste, but that taste can be eliminated by rotating your water and purifying it. If a water storage source is in ideal conditions it can technically can indefinitely.
Is it safe to drink water that has been stored for a long time?
Water that has been in an open glass for long periods of time can lead to bacterial growth in it, making it unsafe to drink. Dust and small particles can also enter the glass. Even though it is closed, water stored in a bottle for a long time is also not safe. This is because when our mouths come into contact with the lips of the bottle, the water will mix with dead skin, dust, and sweat. Our saliva contains a lot of bacteria that can be mixed with the water in the bottle. When water is left on for a long time, bacteria grow in it and can enter your body when you drink it again. This can lead to a number of health problems.
