"According to the Wilderness Medical Society, water temperatures above 160° F (70° C) kill all pathogens within 30 minutes and above 185° F (85° C) within a few minutes. So in the time it takes for the water to reach the boiling point (212° F or 100° C) from 160° F (70° C), all pathogens will be killed, even at high altitude."

Although this question is quite ambiguous, stirring a small quantity of salt in water until it dissolves will produce an unsaturated solution as long as the salt is water soluble.
