Heat. Most germs die quickly at high temperatures. Water that has been boiled for 1 minute is safe to drink after it has cooled. If no other method of water disinfection is available, very hot tap water may be safe to drink if it has been in the tank for a while.ost germs die quickly at high temperatures.

With many plastics, that even happens at room temperature, which is why, for example, BPA has come under fire as a material in plastic used for drinking water bottles. Bottomline: Boiling water in a plastic bottle over the fire is a nice trick to show off-but not suitable for drinking water in my opinion. Cheers, Matt.
