does this use regular tap water?

I use tap water, but we have a water softener. I have steam cleaned white, cushioned (seat and back), high-top bar stools and pillows and the machine works well. I clean my tile and wood floors and have cleaned the tile grout with good results. I am pleased with the machine. The only problem is keeping a constant tight grip on the "on" button while moving the mop while it steams. Would be better if it had an auto on and "pause" design.

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.

Yes. I use filtered tap water. Some people use distilled water, but I find that tap water works just fine.

I've been using regular tap water. I do wash my vegetables and/or fruit with the vegetable/fruit soap first.

Regular tap water is fine. There are directions for descaling the boiler in the owners manual.

Tap water has worked just fine. Distilled water is not necessary at all. Hope this helps.

I have filter on my tap water and there is a filter in the coffee maker. There is to much junk in plain tap water in my house so I wouldn't use tap

Yes, with distilled or purified water. Remember DMSO grabs stuff and quickly brings it into the body so you don't want to take in any toxins from regular tap water. Dilute at a minimum 50/50. More typical use is at 70%-75% water.

Do not know but I thought I noticed a difference when I used tap water rather than filtered ice water from the fridge. The tap water was better. I must compare with bottled water.

Yes, but it is RECOMMENDED that you use distilled water. We use distilled water.

No, filtered water is not required. I've been using plain tap water - and the filter that came with this great coffee maker and fits on top of the coffee basket.. Think I will buy more of those filters when time runs its course on this one (I believe its use is for one month). Hope you enjoy your Mr. Coffee Maker as much as I'm enjoying mine.

Yes I use polident and tap water. Just rinse and dry with a cloth after each use. Mine still looks brand new!

I have been using regular tap water in mine. I live in Tucson where the water is pretty clear and good tasting. Hope that helps. I also cleaned the wicks (not filters) with very hot water from the tap. It works fine. I also put an Antimicrobial Cleaning Cartridge in the resevor to kill any bacteria once a month. I buy it at Target. It's called... Protec Model PC-1

I used tap water but I also only used the product once before I returned it. I was just not happy with the hassle of using it versus the regular ole' scrubbing with cleaners. However, I do think Hoover recommends distilled water.

I use regular tap water. The manual in fact says to use untreated tap water. The manual does suggest a mix of distilled and tap water when the tape water is very hard. Use tap water.

I just use regular water but I assume distilled water will reduce the amount of chemical build-up in the long run.

It uses tap water with an added cleaning solution. A small bottle of the solution comes with it.

No, I use regular tap water. Ours has some minerals in it, which cause some hardening of the wick. But I anticipate replacing the wick every year anyway, so I just go along with that. I don't see a need to buy special water.
