This is what I have and rarely use now. It's like a water pik setup with long, thin tubing that can only be sterilized with 1:2 vinegar/water solution or running a diluted bleach solution through it. I haven't been diagnosed with MAC and honestly don't even know if I have it. But I bought this after I had maxillary sinus surgery around 2013. Imagine this wouldn't work if you do have MAC and am curious if any of you use this?

I've owned 2 of the SinuPulse machines. The first one died after several years and I purchased a new one. I thought it worked well as it pumps more saline through than the squeeze bottles.
Before I became aware that these things should be sterilized I did what you did. It's been awhile since I have used the SinuPulse. Now I use the Squeezie which I learned about here. It might be other changes I've made in general, so hard to say, but with the Squeezie I seem to get fewer sinus infections (knock on wood!)
