Can I use tap water in this iron?

Yes, that's a new thing with Rowenta. In my previous reviews, my last Rowenta was bought 20+ years ago. Rowenta is the only iron I would ever buy.

We used to fill with distilled water, but few weeks laters I read the instructions and there they recommend to use tap water instead distilled. So I started using tap water without any problem. I have 4 months with this iron.

I think most irons recommend tap water these days; that is what I use in this iron.

If you can already drink the water from the tap, you can probably use it, but you are probably best off contacting the manufacturer

Tap water, but make sure you empty the iron each time when you are finished.

It depends on what you are cleaning. There are two Cleaning Solutions - One for Brass and one for cleaning Gun Parts. If your water supply has a high Iron Content, you should use commercial bottled water instead of tap water, especially if cleaning Brass Cartridges. I normally use the same bottled water I use for making coffee. I do not believe you need to go to fully de-ionized water (Distilled Water) like used for steam irons or car batteries.

I always use bottled water in this type of device, I also do in a steam iron. If you have very soft iron free water I guess you could use tap water. With the high evaporation rate to create steam, I do not trust tap water. I used a steam iron with tap water once and it put brown stains on a white shirt (iron in the water). The iron also clogged up rather quickly.

You don't have to but it is recommended. Using distilled water prevents calcium buildup in the iron.

Do not put salt in the water - use either good tap water or bottled. I have only ever used this iron flat. Hope this helps.

I would suggest you look at this website http://santevia.com for manufacturers information. To answer your question though, you can use tap water in this picture.

No, most tape water can be used in this iron. If water is very hard, distilled or demineralized water should be used.

I do not know, as I have never used it with tap water. The instructions say do not use regular tap water. However I love the machine and the water. Nothing but Great things to say.

We also have a water softener and according to the directions that came with the iron, I use bottled spring water. The directions say you can use tap, but I didn't want to chance it. It also mentions in the directions not to use distilled water.

Sorry, I don't have an answer to that. I was surprised when I read in the instructions that use of distilled water was not necessary. Perhaps because the Rowenta is such a great iron.

Yes, but it's worth it to keep the steamer running longer. Tap water will ruin the internal parts.

yes, using tap water with the cartridge should be just fine. The reason for the cartridge is basically to avoid white mist that's typically associated with ultrasonic humidifiers. hope this helps...

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