What recommendations do members have regarding drinking water? Is tap water safe for someone with MAC? Would water through a Brita filter pitcher be better?

lch713 I buy purified water and boil it. I carry my drinking water everywhere I go.If you use Brita filter make sure to boil it for 10 minutes. Cila.

@lch713 We installed an osmosis filter system under our kitchen sink. I really don't drink much water. I drink wine, soda, tea from water I have boiled....I mostly take baths, but do occasionally shower. we turned up the water temp on our water heater to 140 degrees, that is suppose to kill the mac. There is a topic on the Discussion Board. You can find the discussion board at the Connect Mac Group home page.
