0.9% benzyl alcohol added to good old distilled water and filtered thru a 0.2 micron sterile filter will give you what you want.
 
I just bought some years ago a bottle of pure benzyl alcohol (chem supplies).I mix it every couple of months with 100ml medical grade saline water for injections. For that I just add 0.9 ml benzyl alcohol to the water (correctly you would remove 0.9 ml of water and than add 0.9 ml of alcohol to it)
No need for filtration or anything, since the water is already sterile and there's nothing growing in pure benzyl alcohol.

I never had an infection with it.

How long do you use that for. I think pharma says once punctured bac water is good for 30 days. Probably over cautious but not sure how long you'd want to use the same bottle?

Curious if you're in the states where you get your sterile water.

What you want is water for injection (WFI) not sterile water. Add 1% BA to it and then filter .22um or .2um into sterile vials. Not .45 mentioned by the other poster. If you're in the us it should be relatively easy to get.

Sterile water contains pyrogens which cannot be filtered out.

I use it for some months. Sometimes 2, sometimes 5. No hard cutoff date. After a while the self healing injection port is quite damaged, then I'll trash it with the 70ml+ water left.

I also don't store the water in the fridge.

I'm not sure if there is any meaningful degradation happening, since
BAC water burns (for me) taken intranasally and even after 5 months it's still burning. In the worst case I'll have just sterile saline water left.

I'm from Germany, I just buy water for injections at an online pharmacy.
