My dad wears oxygen at night due to sleep apena, the company providing the oxygen machine told my dad to use distilled water in the little humidifier. They didnt say to boil it or anything. Just straight out of the gallon container that we buy at Wal-Mart. Is that dangerous?

Oh and you can drink distilled water, I know some ppl that do. They said it help get rid of their kidney stones and kidney infections. They havent had problems since changing to distilled water. I havent tried it. My local Vet told us to give my cats distilled water as their drinking water since one had a kidney infection...but I dont think they drink it. I'm think I'm gonna change them to regular bottle water, but the cheap version. (sorry little off topic there)

If he's immuno-compromised like CF patients it is. Otherwise, normal people don't have to worry about PA or Cepacia

When I was making my own sinus wash, I used either Britta (or whatever it's called <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> ) filtered tap water and boiled it to sterilize (I also added the kosher non iodized salt then, while it was hot) and then let it cool off, or, if I forgot to fill the water thing, then I used plain boiled tap water. I usually did it either every wash or enough for 2 washes every day.

I usually buy distilled water to boil my nebs in when we go on vacation, so I don't end up finding out the hard way that they have lots of lime, rust, etc. in the local water <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> .
