Can Pedialyte Be Taken Along With Water To Prevent Dehydration?

I want to use pedialyte so that I can prevent dehydration after hours of vigorous tennis matches. Also I don t think I will finish a bottle after 48 hours. What happens if I continue to use it after 48 hours and why can t I mix it with water to take with me?
