Hairy Posted October 23, 2019 Share seriously?yip ... wife's idea ... boil it and it goes into the fridge ... this started when we were low on water in CT and questions were being raised RE the quality of the last bits of water....with the evaporation one would hope some of the chlorine, etc is also taken out of the mixture.

Evaporation boils off liquids and leaves the solids behind. You're effectively concentrating the chlorine by boiling water unless you're capturing and drinking the steam. Boiling is only good for killing bacteria that dies at 100 degrees. Edit: Good news! e.coli and salmonella die at 70 degrees.
