Title: Boiled kettle water.
Post by: geefree on October 27, 2008, 09:41:01 pm
A Friend of mine said , boiled kettle water is pure, i told him it wasnt.

i had to get out my tds metre to prove it... it was exactly the same as out of the tap.

176 tds

i told him the boiling of water kills bacteria, and does not purify it,

still, because hot water breaks down grime , he still would not accept that purified water, cleans windows better than boiling hot water....

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D... not to mention shattering it  ;D

boiling the water would dissolve more of the solids so higher tds. I think   :-\

i would have thought that other way around other way around.  some water will steam out leaving more solids in the kettle thus increasing the tds in the water.
