Boiling it can run the risk of aspirating it before it’s dead.
It’s just plain shit advice dude.
Even flushing a toilet with it, now you’ve maybe contaminated the rest of your lines and flushed it into the air to breath. Great job.

in the context : this guy wants to go to a date and he needs water now. So, for a few hours the water is the in the tank is safe // if this guy has some brain - - and he looks like a very smart guy - - he will know how to handle this water. Otherwise, for stupid people : yes, your advice is good.
For myself, i know how to sterilize water - - i don’t know about you … if you are in an emergency … in an earthquake situation … in a desperate situation … you may choose to do something special in such situations … if you think you have some survival skills.

You can’t really sterilize legionnaires by boiling it, it’s not that simple.
You clearly are applying improper information to a deadly situation. You’re only making yourself look more like a fool by arguing that’s okays in one singular case. When it’s likely to be dangerous.
Getting “creative” while not comprehending the dangers is what kills people. And here you are trying to to say it’s okay.
Not in ANY case should you EVER contemplate using a hot water tank for a water source. Full stop.

i don’t believe your statement but I would if you gave some references. Can you link some documents that explain why boiling doesn’t kill those bacteria ? … or should not be used to sterilize such water ? …any document about survival or whatever I don’t know.
