Over time, with me, using tap water was stinging & burning, the same with any other kind of bottled water. But, I have had 4 surgeries, with the 1st, tap water was okay. Some time after that, even when I tried distilled water, it still stung & burned. The combo of Neil-Med & distilled water barely barely works but at least I don't say a lot of swear words like when I tried anything else. For a while, the doctor prescribed for me sterilized saline solution, like the kind they use for IV's in the hospital. Boy, was that perfect! It made me have SUCH a happy nose but unfortunately, it cost $20+ a bottle & with twice a day rinses, well, do the math. I would have gone broke feeding my teledyne water pic. So, I would say that if you can tolerate any water, distilled is probably best, hoping for less
bacteria & the like.
Chance favors the prepared mind.
