Here’s the thing: boiling water is great for killing bacteria and making pasta, but it’s basically useless against PFAS. Imagine trying to wash grease off a plate with just plain water—that’s PFAS for you. These chemicals are stubborn little gremlins that actually concentrate as steam escapes. So instead of removing them, you’re just making soupy PFAS juice.
I once tried to “boil away” a stubborn stain on my favorite shirt and ended up with a permanent reminder of my poor life choices. PFAS are like that stain, except they live in your water and don’t care about your hopes and dreams. Boiling water is the equivalent of asking a cat to heel—it simply won’t work.
