It is essential to ensure the safety and reliability as hot water bottles have a limited lifespan. It is advised that users change their bottle every 2-3 years.

SLAD, GLOUCESTERSHIRE, UNITED KINGDOM, August 11, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Hot water bottles are practical and comforting companions during chilly nights or when seeking relief from muscle soreness. However, it is essential to ensure the safety and reliability of these bottles, as they do have a limited lifespan. The UK government advises changing your bottle every 2-3 years of use.

Check the manufacturing date

Bottles that comply to safety standards can be checked by looking at the flower-shaped symbol on the neck of the hot water bottle. The number in the middle refers to the year the bottle was made and then the 12 segments refer to the 12 months in the year and the little dots inside these segments refer to weeks.

So, for example if there are 2 dots in both the 3rd and 4th segment this means it was produced between the 2nd week of march and the 2nd week of April.

The manufacturing date however may not be particularly useful, if the bottle hasn’t been used much or perhaps was purchased a year after manufacture. The general rule of thumb is that the hot water bottle should be replaced if it is more than 5 years old.

It is advised that users regularly inspect the rubber closely for any signs of wear and tear. Over time, the rubber bottle will deteriorate, resulting in cracks, leaks, or a hardened texture. These indications can suggest an older bottle that may need replacing.

Knowing the age and condition of a hot water bottle is crucial for ensuring user safety and comfort. By examining the flower wheel and by inspecting the bottle for wear and tear hot water bottle lovers can confidently determine if it’s time to replace your hot water bottle.
