After reading someone saying at epinion.com about the PUR filter
plugging up before the end of filter life, today I thought about
boiling the water first to remove the chlorine and then cooling it
before filtering with PUR. I wonder that would make the filter not get
clogged too early.

That certainly sounds like a PITA. Just putting the water in a bottle in the
fridge will get rid of the chlorine in about 12 to 24 hours.
