If you leave the boiled water in pot you boiled it in and have it covered tightly, it should stay sterile. IMO, transferring back and forth to containers increases risk of contamination.
To answer specific question, the water
should be fine for reuse.
I'll admit that I am not as meticulous as some in cleaning equipment. I use the Bololo because it's simple and equipment can be left in it until next use, minimizing handling.

@pacathy This was discussed in Lung Matters. It was recommended to change water daily because a few mycobacterium may survive. Im going to upgrade to an instant pot because it kills everything under high pressure if I read that correctly. So I was keeping my boiled water for a week but after reading about some.bacterial surviving, I change the distilled water daily which is another expense. The 6 quart instant pot only requires 1.5 cups for each session so I’ll discard it after each use . Still learning.
