    How dare you not share the reference in a link too!

    The CaCO3 concentration where boiling was most effective (>80% of the measured polymers removed) was >120 mg/L. This is hard water, so if your local area doesn’t have particularly hard water, this method won’t be effective.

    A very general guide for the US on hard water levels by state.

      so that suggests you may need to add calcium carbonate to your water first.

        Yes, we just need to install water hardener systems rather than softeners to boil out the plastics!

        I’m curious how effective typical household water filtration systems are in comparison. I’d expect RO systems would be effective at least.

      The heat makes them more malleable so enzymes can attach and help break them down into super calories.

        So the 0 calorie label on water is now a lie?
