I think we need to differentiate between boiling water then letting it cool and boiling and using it hot. Boiling does do one good thing, and that is it forces the absorbed gases out. For instance water can contain carbon dioxide, which then makes carbonic acid. All acids are good conductors for electricity, so this increases the impedance. Boiling will remove these gases. But one must make sure and boil in a very clean pot that adds no ions. Glass (ie. Pyrex ) would most likely be best.
So I can see if you boil then cool, then you should get more consistant results, with smaller particles, but lower ppm for any specific run time.
