It kills most of all the germs and bacteria/pathegons in it. Some germs can tolerate extreme heat, but the vast majority die. However, boiling does not get rid of lead, dirt, calcium chloride, calcium floride, copper, ect. However, boiling water temporarily decreases the hardness of the water; therefore, afterwords it can be more hard. If you are looking to boil water, you should have a pre-filter and you should also have a second purification method, because boiling isn't the most effective measure of purification.
