We're literally going back to serfs boiling water to make it drinkable.

    boiling precipitates the water's minerals onto the microplastic, making it bigger (and easier to filter)

    that's why it works better with hard water than soft

      Oh okay so it's just a maybe useful pre-filtering step that will likely still not remove all the plastic

      Thanks for reading for me so my vibes based science is more informed
