I had a very interesting consultation that I think might actually work to stop NTM bacteria.
There is a whole house system called TipaTech. It's been around for many years in Europe, and is relatively new in the USA.
TipaTech is different to other systems in that it starves the pipes of oxygen. NTM are aerobic bacteria and they need oxygen to thrive - I guess that's why they like our lungs!
In addition they recommended UV Filtering which supposedly kills off any bacteria such as NTM. And then still a "no-smosis" type reverse osmosis at the sink that has a filtration capacity of 0.007 microns.
All in all, it sounds good, but its not like I can test it to see if there are NTM in my water. And it comes with a pretty big price tag.
I'm wondering if bottled water is the way to go but there seems to be so much controversy on that. I have no idea what to do!
