TLDR: Calcium binds to the microplastics making them easier to filter. You have to boil > cool > filter. Works better with hard water.

~~conservatives~~ fascists; 'hey, heres a nifty 300$ filtration system you can install that will automatically boil and filter on your behalf, american made!'

~~democrats~~ conservatives; ' we have a guarantee by all major manufactures who can spell plastic to join a committee to potentially reduce plastic use by 4% over the next 75 years! until they, boil your shit. '

~~progressives~~ democrats; 'no regulation says whhhhhat?'
