    Boiling sink water?

    Hey, i'm trying to drink a gallon of water everyday and i don't have a filter or a purifier of some sort. I was thinking about boiling sink water and drinking that, is that alright?

    I assume you want a purifier to remove the nasty taste of your sink water???
    That's usually due to the minerals and other ions from pipes and even the water source itself. Boiling will not remove minerals or ions. If you get sick from your water, however, you could boil it to kill bacteria. That's about all boiling will do, though... Try drinking it really cold or add lemon. (Diet drink mixes such as crystal light mask the taste pretty well.)

    Get a 5 gallon jug and fill it up at a water "station" and it'll last you 5 days.

    Those machines at the stores are only $0.25 a gallon. I fill 2 5 gallon jugs and that lasts me 5 days
