Hot Water Bottle Safety

Possible danger for the filler and possible danger for the user

Hot Water Bottles instructions specify that you should not use Boiling Hot Water in them. This is because boiling hot water will gradually damage the rubbery material of the bottle and reduce it's life with risk of leaking or bursting. This is a nuisance because kettles always produce boiling hot water. One trick is to add say a cup full of cold water to the bottle or the kettle or to leave some of the previous water in the bottle.

DO

  • Check the safety standard on your rubber hot water bottles
  • Always be careful when filling and using hot water bottles.
  • Use a cover or wrap the bottle in a towel before using this will help prevent burns.
  • Check hot water bottles regularly for any splits or perishing.
  • Make sure the top is firmly closed before using.
  • For children and the elderly, use the bottle to warm the bed, then remove before the person gets into bed.

DO NOT


  • Never use boiling water to fill your hot water bottle as this can cause the bottle to split or leak. Very hot water is fine to use.
  • Do not lie or sit on the hot water bottle.
  • Do not overfill - three-quarters is the maximum.
  • Do not use a hot water bottle that is showing signs of wear or splitting - replace it with a new one.
  • Do not use a hot water bottle without a cover or wrapping it in a towel first
