Home canned water will last decades with no worries. One thing though, the water will initially have a 'flat' taste. You can change that by stirring or pouring the water back and forth a few times using two clean containers. This will aerate the water and remove the flat taste. No need to aerate if the water is used for cooking.
Canning water idea question
Several home canners I watch on youtube suggest adding filler jars if you don't have a full batch to keep the movement to a minimum. I had the idea to fill the extra quart jar with tap water with plenty of chlorine already, added a lid and ring and canned it too. I've seen canned water you can buy for 3 to 4 dollars a can that has a 30 year shelf life. My clean tap water, boiled for 90 minutes... is there any reason it won't last 30 years? Also it's jars I have extra at this point I could always use the water or the jar again for something else if needed? Thoughts?
