Well where are you gonna store the water while it cools? I don’t know of anyone that keeps glass bottles around anymore.
So the water is gonna end up either going into a plastic cup or bottle, totally defeating the purpose, or it can go into one of those fancy thermos bottles, which are soldered together with lead based solder.
Actually, if you’re at the point where you’re so concerned about micro plastics that you’re boiling and filtering your water then I’d say you’re actually pretty likely to have already got yourself a bunch of glass or earthenware bottles.
Cool, and there ain’t a damn thing wrong with that either.
To be perfectly honest, I drink more beer than water, and my preferred beer comes in glass bottles. I have no idea how they process their water in the brewery, but hey, I’m still alive and enjoying life 👍
Who uses lead solder these days? In my country it’s even illegal for normal people to buy it and businesses need a permit to buy and sell it if they can justify it.
Only need to use energy to heat the water. It will cool by itself, as anyone who’s ever used hot water for anything ever knows.
As others have said, not everything is about the environment, this is about public health.

You now know at least one person who keeps glass bottles around

Normal lead free solder works great.

Well that’s stupid. At least the insulated bottle I have (Klean Kanteen) doesn’t have lead solder.
The fancy Stanley cups that are trendy use a lead solder bead to seal the inner chamber. When damaged it can leak into the water.
You can argue that if you’re actively cooling your home, then extra energy has to go into that when the water heats up the place.
