Does boiling water kill all the bacteria and chemicals in your drinking water?

Heat the water to over 100 degrees celcius and boil for several minutes (note- 'boiling' occurs at lower temps at higher altitudes). This kills most micro-organisms.





You can't 'kill' chemicals, so you need to remove those with filters or other processes depending on the chemical involved.
