Is this method safe and healthy?
I have some health issues like urinary problems and breathing problems. My doctor told me to drink 4 liters of water every day, and it should be warm water because of my breathing issues.
But the water in my area is not clean—sometimes it's green or brown. I think this is why I’m getting sick.
So I boil the water to make it safe. After boiling, I pour the hot water into 4 bottles (3 stainless steel bottles and 1 thermo steel bottle), each 1 liter.
Here is my question:
Is it okay to put boiled water in stainless steel bottles, and then put those bottles inside a big stainless steel container for storage?
I don’t have a fridge, and there are many mice in my house, so I can’t leave the bottles open or outside. That’s why I keep them in a covered stainless steel container.
Is this method safe and healthy?

Yes, boiling water can kill the germs in it.
Also it's safe to keep the boiled water in stainless steel bottles or glass bottles. Try to avoid plastic bottles.
But from your description of water colour, being green or brown, I guess just boiling that water alone does not make it safe to drink. Probably this itself could be the root cause of your health issues.
Please do check your water quality from an authorised lab. Check TDS, check for heavy metals.
Try to get a standard water purifier if possible and use the water after purifying. This purified water could be boiled if you prefer to have boiled water.
Presence of heavy metals or other minerals and salts makes the water unfit for drinking. Longterm use of such water with high TDS or heavy metals can lead to serious health issues in future.
About your urinary infection. Drinking plenty of water alone does not treat urinary infections completely. Do check urine routine examination, followed by urine culture and sensitivity. And get treated with appropriate antibiotics if necessary.

Yes, your method is safe and suitable, especially given your living conditions. Boiling water is one of the best ways to purify it. Storing the hot water in stainless steel and thermo-steel bottles is perfectly fine. Keeping these bottles in a covered stainless container is a smart moveâit protects against dust, contamination, and mice. Just make sure all containers are cleaned daily. If you're managing breathing and urinary issues, water quality plays a big role. I regularly help people manage such concerns with practical, health-focused advice. Feel free to consult for tailored, reliable medical guidance.

It is okay to keep boiled water in stainless steel containers for storage. But please remember one thing: though boiling is a acceptable ( if not the best) method of disinfection of water, it does not remove any chemical impurities that may be there is water. Since your water is looking coloured, please get it checked.
Also it will be difficult to establish a relation between your symptoms and water, unless more details are available
Next Steps
Get your water checked. If discolouring is due to high level of solutes in water, get a RO water filter.

Drinking water / increase water intake is not a solution to urinary tract infection or breathing problems .
Breathing issue is a serious issue and with time and by not taking proper medication it can increase .
And urinary tract infection should be treated after a proper urine routine examination and urine c/s (if needed )
Health Tips
yes you can drink water after boiling ,and also use pinch of alum ( fitkari ) to remove impurities.
