So, the boiling doesn’t remove it at all; it pre-treats hard water, making it capable of being filtered out afterwards.

uh... it seems like it.. if that is the case, the whole article is misleading at best.

Would that just mean boiling water and then filtering it?

If so, doesn't seem as misleading so much as just missing an extra step for a headline. Edit: of course, in addition to the hard water specification.
