Sue I have been able to find it at Walmart consistently at a good price.
I am new to this site and find it incredibly helpful as the local NC doc really did not offer too much insight.
Where did you buy the silicone waffle mat to sterilize the neb parts? I like that idea very much and cheaper than alcohol and such.
Also where do you buy your Aerobica parts and tubing?
My local home health source does not carry it. I am in Asheville NC.
Thanks so much.

Gee Sara, I apologize - I thought I answered you yesterday but my reply disappeared into the ether, I guess.

I buy my nebulizer parts from on-line home health suppliers, not loyal to any particular one, just whoever has the best price plus shipping and is in stock when I need it. I buy Pari neb cups, and each comes with replacement tubing. I am not aware of any parts on the Aerobika that need to be replaced.

The silicon "waffle mat" is a hot pad that happens to fit in the bottom of my sauce pan. It works great for this purpose, or for protecting a tabletop, but is lousy for picking up hot things because it is springy feeling.

When I boil things, I just used my filtered tap water - I can't see the need for distilled or spring water as the boiling kills any NTM in the water, along with on the parts. I can't say that about baby bottle or microwave sterilizers - don't use those
