That's bad advice. Common saline solutions are around 9g/L and won't kill most protozoa. http://www1.nencki.gov.pl/pdf/ap/ap574.pdf http://www1.nencki.gov.pl/p

Even at seawater-like concentrations of over 30g/L, it can take over 72 hours to sterilize water containing fresh-water protozoa.
Boiling is the only practical way to sterilize water.
