Why does plastic water bottles melt when you put hot water in it?
Because the melting point of the plastic used to make the bottle is lower than the temperature of the water that you have put in it. Plastic bottles are 'blow molded'. Basically air is forced inside a small piece of hot plastic and it expands like a balloon, except that this 'balloon' is inside a form or mold in the shape of the bottle. It is cooled and the bottle shape stays. If the softening point of the bottle is lower than the hot liquid poured in, then the plastic 'balloon' wants to shrink again.

Is Tritan plastic safe for hot water use?
Yes, Tritan plastic is generally considered safe for hot water use as it is designed to withstand high temperatures without leaching harmful chemicals.
Does hot water in a plastic bottle causes it to expand?
Not necessarily. You have to have a space of air in the bottle. The expansion/contraction happens because the water is heating/cooling the air. Liquids are usually considered incompressible and hence will not change their volume when heated or cooled (unless it evaporates or melts!). Assuming that you have an air space: If you have cold water in a sealed bottle that you heat up, it will expand. If you put hot water in a bottle and seal it, it will contract as it cools. If the bottle is not sealed, there will be no volume change.
