can you use distilled water and will this help with it lasting longer

Have always used cold tap water, but I would think distilled water would be better, and yes it would last longer, and you may not need to clean as often.

We use tap water and periodically follow the instructions to use vinegar to keep it working properly. Given the amount of water needed to fill it, I wouldn't spend the extra money to buy distilled water. We have quite a bit of calcium in our tap water and have not found it to be a problem with this humidifier. Hope this helps.

I haven't tried it. My humidifier stopped working quickly because the sensors never detected it had water, I don't think distilled water would have helped that.

If you use distilled water - they will last a long time ! I have been using mine for over 2 years with no problems.

Please use only distilled water or you can use detox water. Other combination do not mix well with the minerals.

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

Hi, I met a Steam Mop rep in a home fair I attended. He advised that we use only DISTILLED Water. He said that our mop will last much longer is=f we use that. I am not sure what "purified water" is so just use distilled water and you will be fine. By the way, I love my mop!

No, it won't mix properly. Distilled water is available at drug stores in the US. You will still have to mix it before adding it. I use an empty bottle from rubbing alcohol, but any nonreactive vessel you can buy at the same store you get the water from should work. If the res. i going low often, check the cap for tightness and the plastic where it mounts to the body for small cracks.

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

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'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...

As far as I know, yes. I usually use distilled water in mine. Work's great. Work's even better with the Hornady gun cleaning solution.

it's better to use distilled water or reverse osmosis water. Avoid mineral water since certain minerals can potentially degrade the H202

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.

You're supposed to use distilled water but I personally think you're fine as long as you use this fluid.

The instructions do not specify to use distilled water. I use cool tap water. Definitely need to clean according to instructions. I am very happy with this humidifier.

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

My daughter said to use DISTILLED water. So I do and it has been working fine.

They do suggest distilled water, but I have been using regular water and I have no problems. I have 8 humidifiers (3 different types that all use a sponge) and I have used regular tap water for a few years. The only potential problem that I can see would be if the tap water has a high mineral content.
