1. Yes, I save the distilled water. I just leave it in the Instant Pot. I change it every Sunday. I never thought about putting it in the fridge. Hmmmm. I wonder if that's important.

2. Yes, I soak the neb equipment in soapy water for about 15 minutes while I wait for the water to boil. I swish it around a couple of times while it's soaking.

3. I do not have a filter. I just use tap water.

4. I leave the equipment in the baby bottle dryer until morning. I use one set up for the morning nebulizing and put the other set up in a glass bowl with a paper towel over it.

I boil everything after my evening nebulizing so I only have to boil once. I soak the morning neb equipment in soapy water all day.

I don't know if I am doing everything exactly right, but this is what I do.

I am in Mexico for three months a year and I use a regular pot on the stove while I am there. I air dry the nebulizing equipment with a couple of paper towels draped over it all.

I haven't been able to find distilled water in Mexico so I use the filtered water, then soak the equipment in white vinegar once a week. I rinse the vinegar off thoroughly using the filtered water, then boil it before use.

It's definitely easier with the Instant Pot, baby bottle dryer and distilled water!

I use the Lifestraw Go cup while I'm in Mexico since I walk or take public transportation. I put my sterilized water in it but sometimes if I am out and about, I fill it with bottled water, which then goes through the filter. At home, I have a Yeti-type cooler in the car so I carry sterilized water in glass bottles with me.
