    I work in the public utility sector and APIs is correct. Your public, potable water supply can possibly still have microbes in it even when correctly treated with chlorine and people have contracted fatal microbes using potable water in netty pots. Use distilled water only in netty pots or any other device used to deliver an aqueous solution into the sinus cavities. Deliberately allowing copious amounts of water from your shower head to enter your sinus cavities is a very bad idea.

    Interesting. I don't use a netty pot, but the sinus rinse. Been doing so for 5+ years. It's been a headache-reliever lifesaver. Instead of warm tap water, maybe I should microwave my filtered water 'til it's warm. Good idea. Glad I thought of iit.

    Even if the water supply is perfectly clean, what do think happens to that moistened shower head after you turn it off in the morning/evening and it sets for 8-12 hours? Stuff grows on it, that's what!!

    No doubt. I never used water from the shower; just warm tap water from the sink. I'm sure there's plenty of bacteria growing in there, too. I warmed up bottled water today. Just need to make sure it's not too hot. Ever snorted up hot water? Hurts like hell.

    It does hurt indeed! Yeah, the sink faucet would be the same as a shower head, possible even worse as most sink faucets have a wire mesh aerator which dramatically increase the surface area for bacteria/mold/fungus growth. Its really a good idea to clean faucet and shower heads once a month with bleach.
