What kind of water do you use with the diffuser? Can I use filtered water from my fridge or do I have to use distilled water?

The diffuser manual says to use tap water, which is what I've been doing. Working just fine so far!

I use bottled water and it works great. But the manual says to use tap water so either would be fine.

From what I understand you can use either filter in the unit. I love mine. I'm using the one that came with it currently, but then bought the better filter in a six pack at Costco.

According to my daughter, who sells Do-Terra oils, diffusers won't work with distilled water. I just use tap water. It didn't say not to use with citrus, but I haven't tried citrus.

I always have some water left. I have can other diffuser of a different brand and there is always water left it as well. The Stadler is my favorite.

You don't have to use distilled water...I do though, just so I don't have to clean as often...I do use citrus essential oils...lemon, lime grapefruit...this is a great product!

I've actually done both, but more often just added it directly to the water to lessen the chance of spillage/waste. It doesn't seem to have aversely affected my diffuser so far; I've had mine since February.

I think that would e a matter of personal choice. I use my fridge-filtered water in my coffee maker; however, I also use the filters made for the coffee maker. The more filtering, the better is how I look at it.

It actually has to be tap water. The instructions said that distillers water will damage the diffuser.

No you do not filters. You do need to use distilled water. This product works very well. You will love this product. You do need the oil that they recommend for this product. It can run not stop for 3 hours then shut off when the water is low or it can run for 7 hours.

It's a cold process. I use filtered tap water. We like it for oil diffusing. I can see the vapor, but for severe colds, etc. we rely on a stronger humidifier.

Distilled would be best, but way too inconvenient and expensive. I use filtered, tap water and an ionic silver cube to prevent bacterial build up.

That is what I have read. I have two distillers now b/c I live in a big a city and the water quality is Horrible... not to mention all the fluoride and chloride in it. I absolutely love our distillers, but I do recommend buying the cleaning solution for them and back up filters. I replace our carbon filters once a month and clean the containers (soak it in the cleaning solution for a few hours & rinse) once a week. Also be sure to buy glass jugs or BPA free plastic containers for your fridge to store. The water taste so refreshing and clean.

The instructions do not specify to use distilled water. I use cool tap water. Definitely need to clean according to instructions. I am very happy with this humidifier.

I use distilled water in mine. I keep a gallon by each ironing board. You can use tap water but then it depends on the type of tap water in your area. Reliable Corp. recommends the following: ° Distilled water° Softened water (from a household water softener)° Filtered water with low mineral content (counter top unit or store bought)° Tap water (if your tap water is hard, this is the least recommended)Hope this helps!Smiles,Love2Sew&Quilt;

Don't know. I've tried others but settled on Young Living and distilled water only. I sit diffuser on kitchen counter and other oil left it sticky from droplets. Both tend to leave diffuser hazed on the inside so I clean it often.

Hi Brenda, it's easy to figure out how to use even without the English instruction. I use normal type water as I don't have distilled water. Just remember to leave the parts to dry completely before keeping the item after use.
