There is a plenty amount of water in around us but all of them are not fir for drinking. Most of the water sources or the water available around us unfit for drinking, which contains chemicals as well as other wastes. It contains not only chemicals but also bacteria and others. To reduce the effect of our drinking water heating them is the best idea. It will help you to kill bacteria as well as it remove some salts from the water. This is the one of the reason why we are asked to drink boiled water at all the time.

Pure water contains hydrogen and oxygen. The chemical formula for water is H2O. It means water is made up of two hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. Water after having come in contact with various salt stratas contains a large number of chemicals. Some of them are calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, iron, sulphates, nitrates, nitrites, phosphates etc. Very small amount of copper, chromium, chlorine, fluorine, arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury and selenium are also present in water. Contaminated water contains bacteria and other types of microorganisms.

There's different stuff in different waters. A lot of bacteria and vitamins such, but not bad kind. Water is healthy. There could be chemicals in some but not any that would hurt you in any way.
