Safe Purified Water Brands

I have severe allergies and have been using nasal sprays to flush my nose after showers, but it's becoming quite an expense to continue to buy bottles of nasal spray.

I went out and bought a Navage, but haven't started using it out of fear that the purified water available in stores may contain brain eating amoeba. The past few summers, I continue seeing articles about people dying from brain eating amoeba and considering how deep into your sinuses nasal sprays and the Navage goes, I'm very afraid that I'll buy some brand that has been improperly purified and wind up killing myself.

Does anyone here use purified water to create their own nasal rinsing solution, and if so, any brands you'd recommend? I'm sure this is an irrational fear, but I'm super worried that I could be a victim of a tainted gallon of purified water and wind up dead from brain eating amoeba.

Thanks in advance!
