Just a quick question and probs a stupid one lol

When abroad holiday/traveling and using the peristeen system for your bowl routine do you use water from the tap?

you are always told not to drink the water so was just wondering if it is still ok to use it as it's going inside you, would it cause upset tummys etc?

That's a good point! I think better safe than sorry and boil the water first if that's what you need to do before you drink it, or use bottled water.

I was looking at getting this system for my son. When I was reading up on it , it did say to use cooled boiled water or bottled water when abroad. Thats from the Peristeen website.
