what kind of water it uses?

I've used tap water but since I love this iron SO MUCH, I did buy some under a dollar distilled water at Walmart to make it last as long as possible. I saw no difference in the performance of the steam with tap water from distilled. This is truly a great iron.

The directions recommend distilled water, which is what I use. When I spend a significant amount of money for a steam iron, I follow the directions. So far my water cost has been less than $1 per gallon. I am very pleased with the iron!

This iron died after only a couple of weeks use. I sent it back and am now using a Rowenta.

It is recommended (and I do!) use distilled water...very inexpensive and I've seen no rust at all.

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;

Yeah, I use tap water for mine. Just be sure to follow the 24-hr soaking instructions on the main filter unit if you're starting with tap water.

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

You can use tap water. If your water has a lot of minerals you will need to clean the steamer occasionally. Instructions for cleaning come in the box.

I have used it quite a bit. I keep it on my stove and do not dry it after I use it. I have no idea what kind of water they use, we use distilled. It looks like it does the day I received it, brand new. Be careful, handle gets hot.

Sorry, I don't know. But I use distilled water in mine, so if you can switch to distilled water, that should help.

You can buy their specialized liquid or you can use plain water with just a little dish soap mixed in. Both work well.

The unit uses a charcoal filter. I think you'd be fine to use the water additive.

It's made to use tap water, but if you are worried about it, call their customer service # and asked them.

Technically it can. Ideally you should use distilled water. However,I think the change would be minimal.

Distilled or boiled (and cooled) would be best, but it gets expensive at a gallon per day, so I used tap (well water that's softened). I bought a replacement filter for next season. Also, someone suggested adding a bit of hydrogen peroxide once a week, and I think that helped. If it sits, it will get slimy, so keep it running or empty and dry it if not using after a day or so.

The instructions do not state what type of water. I use distilled so it doesn't get a build-up on the unit.

Nothing, basically. I looked it up on line and found that as long as it has only 'eco-water' (rain or bottled), it'll do fine. Ours seem to be thriving.

We only use distilled water. That keeps it from having any mineral deposit build up, and extends the life of the machine.

that's the charcoal used to filter the water. it must be a cheaper charcoal than other filters I have used. Another reason I gave this fountain to the thrift store.

Not so sure about water but absolutely sure about chemicals. I use far less chlorine and acid.
