    Subject: lv-ab: Water Purification

    Hey group,

    I was buying bottled water for my drinking water. Then I
    decided to just boil the water from my water tanks
    that came from the dock water and let it cool
    overnight for my drinking water. I don't have any
    reason to doubt the quality of the dock/tap water
    at the marina I'm currently docked (SF bay area). Maybe
    me just being paranoid and for future cruising
    reference as well.

    Questions:

    1- Is boiling water the most simple and cheapest way
    to purify drinking water?

    2- Do any of those at the faucet water filters purify
    the water to the same level or better than boiling
    or bottled water (depending on how pure bottled water
    is in the first place!)? I was thinking of one of those
    PUR at the faucet with on/off switch for filtered/unfiltered.
    Are there other good at the tap water purifiers? Anything
    important I should look for in a at the tap water filter?
    Microns, what it filters, etc.?

    3- What ways do any other list members on the more paranoid
    side of the fence like me quality control their drinking water?

    Thanks very much... for all your great answers in advance.
