I saw a post somewhere and it talked about bottle water that has been tested and the manufactures. Does anybody know which types of water that is?

Dr Joe Falkinham, who is viewed as the guru of NTM in water, recommends bottled spring water - it has consistently been shown in tests by his university lab to have the least NTM. He mentions a few by name, but says most should be safe, as they come right from the ground without running through a local water supply. In my travels I have found that every brand of spring water is not necessarily available nationally, so I use what I can find.
He cautions against "bottled drinking water" - which is often just local tap water with minerals added. Many of the best-known brands are just that so read the labels.
