No. Even boiling water is not sufficient to kill ALL bacteria. Water temperatures as high as 221 degrees F (boiling water, pressurized) are required to totally eliminate microbes. That’s why UVC light in a specific wavelength (254 nanometers) is needed. For more than 70 years, tens of thousands of UVC lights have been safely installed in hospitals, clinics, processing plants, multi-and single-family residences around the world.
