Thank you! I just got a lot of helpful info from him (though, still very overwhelming, 2 weeks in to the Bronchiectasis diagnosis). Would you mind sharing what filter you use? Thanks!

Sorry, not at home to look. It is at the tap in my house, underneath the sink, with filters changed per instruction every 2 month. The prefilter is 1.0 micron, the second .2 micron. That is all the precaution I take as far as water, other than to bring my own or drink bottled spring water when out.
I may have less concern because my water tested negative 3 years ago, it comes from at deep well, my water heaters are set at 135F, and I have methylobacter (??) mold that occasionally appears, which Dr. Falkinham says indicates absence of NTM.

This works for me, I have been off antibiotic therapy for over 3 years without a relapse. I rely on airway clearance, 7% saline, healthy diet, reasonable precautions and exercise to keep me safe.

In my 70's I am too busy jamming all I can into my life to spend my time boiling water or dealing with paraphenalia.

Other people may choose to follow a more cautious routine, especially if very ill or frail, but my body tells me clearly what I can and cannot do.

As you read here and elsewhere, evaluate your own situation and you will find a path that works for you.
