Does the Mabis steam inhaler require the use of distilled water?

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

We use distilled water. I'm not sure you have to, but it seems as though it's always better for the iron. We get plenty of steam and use rather a small amount of water, now that I think of it. We're very happy with the iron.

I just use distilled water in mine. However I have not looked for it in the stores but mine also came with a small bottle of bissel solution that was scented. I would suggest going to there website see what they have to offer then checking stores for it.

Tap water. No distilled water required. I LOVE this steamer - lots of power - works great.

yes, you can use the cool mist humidifier without the filter cartridge but I suggest you use distilled water, no problem

It actually has to be tap water. The instructions said that distillers water will damage the diffuser.

No, it does not require salt. In fact, salt would probably destroy it. I would recommend that you use distilled water in it. I believe you can usetap water, but tap water will result in a fine white dust (the minerals in the tap water) being sent out with the mist. This doesn't hurt anything, but you will eventually need to clean the unit with vinegar. If you use distilled water, there will be no white dust and you will rarely need to clean the unit.

I'm not sure. Normally, distilled water has been used in steam irons to prevent mineral buildup and shortening its lifespan. I have a whole home water softener, so I don't use distilled. Water from a faucet purification device like Pur could be used, as well as one that uses a container, like Brita. Then again, if you don't expect to keep the iron forever, use tap water. The whole idea is that if the tap water is hard (has lots of minerals), you should use water without minerals (distilled). I've had this iron for over 2 years and it still works like new. Hope this helps!

I only use distilled water. There is an element that can be cleaned, so I would assume if you took a paper towel with some rubbing alcohol and cleaned it every few days it would be okay.

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...

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

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

I don't know. I use distilled water and that eliminates the need for a filter.

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.
