Thank you. Now, how often should one soak their showerhead in vinegar to help keep down the Mycobacterium? Weekly? Monthly?

The recommendation from Dr Joe Falkinham, who many view as the foremost expert on NTM exposure in water, is 30 minutes once a month. Remember, it takes time for the biofilm to form, and even longer for the NTM to grow there, so daily or weekly soaking is not necessary.
