Hi everybody....
It's important to let the Polar Pure sit for an hour - apparently that
ensures that it gets equally distributed throughout the water.
Also, it will do _nothing_ if you add it to boiling water - it will simply
evaporate out of the water. Of course, if you want to add it to boiled
water once it has cooled - go for it. It can only help.
