You can select the distiller water setting on the ionizer instead of alkaline or acid

I'm sorry I don't have an answer. We actually found a company that leases an alkali water machine so we went with that.

You need to go back to the dealer where you purchased the water distiller. When you find out the type needed go to Amazon.com. Thats what I do.

I only use distilled water and like you I was running to the store. I bought a used Water Distiller, Countertop, White Enamel, Glass Collection on Craigslist for $50, the new one runs over $175. It took me a few months looking to find it. My suggestion is to check Craigslist or ebay once a week if you don't want to spend the money for a new one.

This machine uses a large, 5 gallon bottle of purified drinking water. Based on your question, I think that you are looking for something different.

Instructions for the iron suggest tap water or a mix of 50/50 tap and distilled. There is no discussion of water types. I would definitely us the 50/50 with your hard water. Be sure to release the steam when you shut it off. Even though I have very good water, I still raise iron above my head hoping water will drain out of iron and hose.

Water comes out of the coil and is funneled into the glass by a plastic spiggot. You can add whatever you want. This is pure distilled water. Minerals come from food too. I drink and cook with it as is.

You must use distilled water and use the measuring cup that came with the unit

Yes I use my machine several times per day and it works great each time. I would use distilled water so that you don't have to descale often.

It recommends distilled water but I use tap water and so far no problems. I am still very pleased with this purchase after using this machine on a weekly basis for several months now.

Call the company. Some companies use water which is safest, others use extracting chemcals

I read not to use distilled water. The minerals in your tap water help the "water low" sensor realize when to turn off the unit...

Make sure you're not using distilled/reverse-osmosis or high-alkaline water, the vapors won't come through if you do. If straight tap water yields the same results, return the defective unit.
