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.

I already told you, it aerosolizes it before it’s dead since it can take up to 10 minutes depending on the amount of bacteria present.

It works, but achieving it can already infect you…

  Maybe i missed your point if you meant that aerosolization will occur readily simply when opening a faucet … ?
  
  Otherwise - - documentation :
  en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legionella
  
  Temperature affects the survival of Legionella as follows : [3]
  
  Above 70 °C (158 °F) – Legionella dies almost instantly
  
  At 60 °C (140 °F) – 90% die in 2 minutes (Decimal reduction time (D) = 2 minutes)
  
  i would not expect much aerosolization if heated slowly … and you did not provide any documentation.

That’s because they’re full of shit. If you have the equipment to properly treat water, it will be drinkable pretty much no matter what it’s been through.

Obviously, you shouldn’t be drinking unsterilised water that’s full of shit.
