Do you have to use distiller water? Can you use citrus oils?

Distilled water is best. The directions don't say not to use citrus oils. I have used blends of oils in it just fine. I really like the product.

I use filtered water from the refrigerator. I use Doterra Essential Oils only

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!

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.

They sell some scented water that you can put in, and it comes with a eucalyptus mint water. Alternatively, I have heard you can buy the distilled water and add some essential oil in whatever scent you like. Hope that helps!

Yes, you can use this diffuser with any type of essential oils. Including citrus.

The one I purchased does not require distilled water so I use regular tap water. So far everything is fine. If after prolonged use there is buildup, like all the other steaming products, vinegar and water should clear that up nicely.

Distilled water is always strongly recommended to extend the life of the unit. Pipe water will work in case you run out of distilled, but only as a temporary solution.

You are only supposed to use distilled water. If you use tap water, minerals can build up and break it. If you used distilled water and it broke, call the company and they should honor their warranty.

I checked on Smiley Daisy's website, and it said that you can use citrus essential oils. Just make sure to use room temperature water. Hope this helps

Yes, you can use whatever essential oils you like, citrus or otherwise. Just be sure to clean the diffuser regularly to keep the disc clean. If you allow a build up to form on the disc, it will not be able to produce any mist. Any essential oils can be corrosive if left to build up, not just citrus oils.

I don't believe you can use fragrance oils only essential oils. Fragrance oils will clog the device along with citrus essential oils.

I wouldn't recommend anything other than distilled water according to the directions on the bottle. I do not know what will happen if you use bottle mineral water or anything else.

I've been using tap water. It comes with about 10 packets of "lime and scale remover," which makes me think it would be better to use distilled water...but if you don't, you can use these packets to clean the water tank. Hope that helps...

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...

Mine works fine, also. I only use distilled water because it is "highly recommended" in the manual.

I use tap water and have had no problem. I don't think there'd be any problem with distilled water either, but there's not a restriction on the water used.

Distilled water is best. If your tap water is low in minerals, it should work fine.

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.
