Yes, I have. I let the water run until I know its cold enough. Its been 2 yrs. since I have had mine. Knock on wood, mine is doing good, no problems or issues with it. It has paid for itself, since I don't have a ice maker on my apt. refrigerator. Forget ice cube trays, they don't make enough, take too long to freeze. I make around 3-4 gallon size freezer bags full of ice. This can take all day and into the evening to get nice full bags of ice. You can leave the ice maker if you have to leave to do something. I have, and when I get back its waiting for me to empty the ice and/or add water. Doesn't overheat either, as it shuts down automatically.

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.

Any kind. I use tap or from the water cooler. I suppose you can buy bottles but I just use regular and after processing my fruits and other things the water looks crystal clear so it seems to be working fine. I love my machine.

I use tap water, I was using filtered but the units (I have 2) use a lot and my filters run about $50. So I started using tap water. Just keep them clean.

It would probably work. I use water from an RO filter to keep minerals out of the machine. I know many baristas disagree (minerals carry the flavor from grounds) but I don't like tap water taste or battling calcium deposits. Good luck.

I do not use distilled water. I use tap water. It uses about 2oz, it doesn't seem to damage my machine.

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

We have a reverse osmosis filter water line, and I use that. But I think that just tap water or water out of a filter jug should be fine

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, any tap water is fine as far as I know. I would just always let it dry thoroughly after use. This is a great product!

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.

I use bottled water and it works great. But the manual says to use tap water so either would be fine.

Yes,...I use tap water and oils all the time...but it is best if you use filtered water...because it comes free of foreign matter.The most important issue is that you clean and air it out after every use...water left to itself tends to fester.

Tap water is fine. You probably received chlorine tablets to put in the tank and if not, should ask about them.

Yes you can use tap water but depending on where you live some water supplies are full of iron, etc...so you may have to de scale it more often with white vinegar.....If you have filitered water I would definitely use that.

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.

yes to both questions - can use distilled water & not use direct water hook up
