Anyone have any nebulizer recommendations?

Yes, I also had a question, Sue, where you mentioned boiling certain equipment for 10 minutes in sterilized water. Wouldn't the 10 minutes in and of itself sterilize the water? I am very new here!
Also, if I boil a big pot of tap water for 10 minutes (for drinking until I can figure out my home water situation re: NTM/MAC risks), and use it for both drinking and rinsing/cleaning equipment, should it be a new pot of water each day? Thanks!

I think you misunderstood. I use filtered tap water. And you are correct, the boiling takes care of any problems with it.

As for using boiled water, that is not something I do. But what I have read is use clean, covered glass bottles to store the boiled water, so it stays safe until used. When I can, or put up fresh orange juice, I clean my bottles by washing in hot soapy water, then rinsing with boiling hot water. I believe that meets with the approval of Dr Joe Falkinham, the accepted expert on NTM in water.
