Can well water be used? Or does the tap water have certain chemicals that react with the stainless steel insert?

The website says plain tap water and every tap water has different mineral contents so I imagine well water would be fine. If you want to be 100% certain I would contact the manufacturer.

well water can certainly be used. that's actually natural water from the earth. well water don't have any chemicals in it, that would be the best way to go. the reason is because you don't want to knock off your ph balance, so by not mixing chemicals and using the stainless steel you are actually making a wonderful choice and you are also avoiding the risk of catching any infection.

Because we have hard water, I use bottled Spring water. The operating instructions say most tap water can be used. If hard water then distilled or me mineralized water should be used but do not use water that has been processed through a home water softening system because this water contains minerals that may be harmful to the iron. Do not use linen or scented water in the steam iron because they stain fabrics or damage iron.

I have used it quite a bit and have only used tap water and haven't had a problem. I don't know if you with more use and time.

Hi Joey: Sure...you can put flavors in the bottle. When you want to switch back to just plain water, just rinse it real well. The whole idea is that with our stainless steel, you don't have to worry about staining or leaching.

I would contact the company and clarify. I use filtered tap water, but to be sure, I'd believe the company over a description on Amazon.

The water is as safe to drink as the water in your well. It is only a pump. It doesn't alter the water that goes into it.

Good question, but you'll probably have to contact the manufacturer to find out. I can't imagine they would go to all the other trouble to keep it pure (like BPA free lining) and then add contaminated tap water. But assumptions are what get us into trouble.

I did use tap water but only used the unit twice so I don' t have an answer to that question.

Just plain tap water will work some. Anything that will not hurt the item you're putting it, or stainless steel, could be used as solution.

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

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

its ok to use tap water but they recommend using half tap water and half demineralized water but I have not have any problems using just tap water

I don't think so. The system uses a filter that is inexpensive and replaceable. I use tap water and have had no problems. If you have very hard water, such as from a well, you may have to purge the coffee maker from time to time by running a pot or two with vinegar. Otherwise, I think no other maintenance should be required.

I guess it depends on whats in your well water. The Brita filters are certified to remove copper and mercury and reduce chlorine and zinc taste. There is a possibility of contaminants in your ground water the filters cant handle. Tap water is routinely tested

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.
