What type of water do you use in the Bololo sterilizer? I just got one and have been using it daily with distilled water. I just saw that distilled water is not a good choice because it is not sterile, so if I am to boil distilled water to sterilize it, then why use the Bololo? I’m so confused

@kapw I use a Bololo with distilled water because presumably the heat it generates to sterilize, specifically 212 degrees, would be enough to kill any MAC germs on the equipment or in the water.

I use distilled water. The heat from the sterilize function is quite hot so I don't worry about the water being sterile. The distilled water is to prevent mineral build up. If you have a LifeStraw Pitcher you could run the distilled water through it before use. I have one but have not thought it necessary to do so. Anyone think it is?
