    They stay in the water when you boil it, what you need is a good filter. Most filters you find in the shop don’t do much tbf, but I cannot suggest anything, I am not an expert on commercial products.

    If you distillate it you get rid of metals, but you also remove the so called minerals. Distilled water taste bad and is not really good for you

      I boil my water, but I usually let it cool off and discard the last of it at the bottom, my understanding was that there was more concentration there.

        I don’t think that is how it works. You could buy an air still, but you really don’t want to drink distilled water unless you add some minerals to it like calcium or fluoride. Water in nature always has dissolved minerals in it, and your body is designed with the assumption that those minerals are there.

        Where did you read this? Unfortunately it doesn’t work like that, unless you have concentration so high that a deposit is created. But, in that case, I wouldn’t absolutely drink that water
