Does heating water improve its quality?

Asked 2 years ago

My boyfriend refuses to drink tap water without boiling it first and waiting for it to cool before he drinks it. He would NEVER drink water straight from the tap, he says it improves the quality. I'm not sure about this heating method.

Boiling does improve the quality of water to a certain extent. Boiling is sufficient to kill pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and protozoa that may cause disease. However, boiling your water can only remove bacteria and solids and does not remove any harmful substances like lead or chlorine.
