dump the water and use fresh

Not needed if the water is safe.

"During boiling, some volatile organic compounds might escape into the
air, but the amount of the inorganic compounds (such as metals and

While the concentration of inorganic compounds might increase as
drinking water evaporates when boiled, evidence shows it doesn't
happen to such an extent that it would be hazardous."
