Answer 8

Yes. When I went to Japan the people would just boil water

Answer 9

There are any number of filters that will help, the key words are sediment filter and taste and odor, sediment filters only remove particulates from the water, a taste and odor filter will remove organic compounds and chlorine that cause off tastes and odors.  If you want to remove minerals from your water you will have to spend about 200-300 dollars for a reverse osmosis (RO) unit.   RO produces water that is free of microbes and minerals, most of the bottled water that is sold is purified by RO.

Answer 10

Get an E-Spring.  It's literally the worlds best at home water purifier.  They even have a 100% money back guarentee on it.  It saves a lot of money and the water is even cleaner than bottled water.  If you want to check it out yourself you can go to http://adrennan.qhealthzone.com/products...

Answer 11

if you're talking about just finding some water and purifying it, you should know there's a lot of things that cities have to go through to meet strict federal requirements. although you could do it to an extent, things like the brita filter wouldn't be good enough and you could end up getting sick (think about things like mexican water. we're not used to it and get sick)

if you're talking about further purifying water that comes out of the tap, they make purifiers like brita or pur.  

Answer 12

To what degree do you want to clean your water? Do you just want to improve the taste or do you actually want it to be healthier?

If you only want to make it taste better and don't care about health issues then basic filters like Pur and Britta do just that. If you want to get one that cleans much better and improves the health levels of water then you need an actual purification system. They cost more up front but normally they cost less per gallon then Pur and Britta in the long run anyhow.

Boiling water does not clean it at all. The only thing that does is kill any living organisms that may be in the water. All contaminates remain including the now dead organisms. The steam that is let off is pure water so now the contaminates are now more concentrated then before the water was boiled.

I only recommend the eSpring system. It is the highest rated system on the market. Only a distillery can get water cleaner and they are much more expensive to buy and expensive to operate and messy to maintain. A reverse osmosis is good but not good enough compared to an eSpring. It was even used on Extreme Makeover Home Edition becasue it is the best available.

Answer 13

You can "make" water only by combining hydrogen and oxygen -- and that's probably more dangerous and expensive than it's worth.

If you are in the USA, your tap water is already cleaner than what's available in 90% of the rest of the world. If you find it tastes funny, you might want to run it through a charcoal filter that you can buy from the supermarket.

If you are from outside the USA, check with your local government to see if they have any information on the local water quality. The only way to really be certain that your water's purified would be vapor distilling it or through reverse osmosis -- both fairy expensive and requiring some power source.

Answer 14

Cleaning can be done by boiling for about 10 minutes.  I lived overseas and boiled all of our water.  However, if you are looking for water that tastes like spring water, you need to go with a filter.  the initial investment is steep, but over time it pays for itself and is more convenient.  They also have cheaper pitchers that have a filtration system in them, but you have to keep them filled.
