I think I’ve heard something about bacteria building up when you reuse water bottles. Might be wrong but I know I’ve heard not to do this.

Two things 1) With out thorough sanitizing between uses, bacteria build up and be transfered to your system 2) Although most plastic does not biodegrade in short periods of time, most plastic water bottles are made of recyclable plastics and these can release dangerous chemicals into the water after just a few reuses.
