How do you treat filamentous bacteria?
Filamentous bacteria is sometimes found in the wastewater treatment system. This bacteria is seen as beneficial, but can be filtered to remove it from the water system.
What happens to bacteria when they are boiled?
When bacteria are boiled the heat energy from the boiling water transfers through to the cells of the bacteria causing the water inside them to begin boiling as well. This increases the pressure inside the cells until they bursts, killing the bacteria. However boiling water will not have this effect on all bacteria.
Is distilled water the same as distillation?
Boiled water is not the same as distilled water. Distilled water is boiled until it turns to steam, as the steam cools the water is recollected, so what you have is pure water. Boiled water is boiled just until it is sterilized and bacteria has been removed.

Why do you drink boiled water?
Yes it is. I have been drinking boiled city water for 70 years. After water has been boiled, nearly all germs have been killed because of the inhospitable environment. Some bacteria do exist above that temperature, but it is unlikely they will harm you if you drink the boiled water. It is safe to drink especially if it is not still scalding.
How long does it take for water to grow bacteria after its been boiled?
Pure water and most chlorinated drinking water lacks the nutrients needed for bacterial growth. If the water is left uncovered though enough dust may get into the water for some bacterial growth.
Does different water cause iced tea to sour quicker?
It is all about the bacteria or pollution in the water (I guess the tea also). If the water is tap water, it is chlorinated and will stay fresh longer than rain or river water. Boiled water stays fresh until some type bacteria or pollution is introduced into it. Steeped tea has a shorter shelf life than boiled tea, but tastes better.
