Thank you so much and I just ordered it. I know they say it takes 6 weeks but did you already get your results back? Just curious if it comes back negative then is it safe to go back using filtered water from my frig, etc?

If you test your refrigerator water specifically, yes. Remember the NTM resides in the plumbing as well as possibly being in the water.

If the tap water tests safe, it would be best to pour the tap water into a frequently, thoroughly cleaned pitcher and store it in the refrigerator. Plastic tubing is notorious for harboring biofilm where bugs can grow.

I ordered mine this week too so I’m not sure about the turn-around time. Hopefully it’s quick!
