When refilling - do you use tap water? Filtered water? distilled water?

I didn't refill mine, I ended up purchasing a new one on Amazon. I do believe there is a You Tube video showing you how to refill the aquarium.

As far as I know, you cannot refill the aquarium. There is no opening for refilling. I have purchased at least five of these over the past 6 years for gifts. My grandchildren use theirs everyday (ages 3 and 6). They love the music. You can buy used ones with less water, but there is no way to refill them. I prefer to buy a new one because it comes with the remote. Some used ones do not include them. I hope this helps.

There is no direct fill port. Do a search on youtube, "refilling Ocean Wonders Aquarium", and there is some videos showing how to do it. Once cover is off, you'll see a tube at the top. Remove end, place in cup of water, and turn unit on. That will draw the water in as it is "trying to pull air for the bubbles. Don't fill all the way to the top as there needs to be a bit of air for the unit to make bubbles. I would use distilled water so there are no impurities. Once filled, you have to put a sealant(silicone) on the fitting, before reattaching the tube.

It is not necessary to refill this product. I bought this for my grandson when he was about 8months old. He is now 25 months old and still loves this aquarium. It was a great purchase. There have been absolutely no problems with it.

After my response to you I watched two youtube videos on refilling it as suggested by another post to you, using regular water. It can be done and it looks easy enough to do.

You should always mix with distilled water which you can buy at any grocery or pharmacy (best to use deionized water if you have access). This prevents ions or other impurities in tap water to react.

I highly recommend distilled water. I have a Rowenta iron and only use bottled water.

you can use filtered tap water (like from a brita) . it works better than just tap water.

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!

We also have a water softener and according to the directions that came with the iron, I use bottled spring water. The directions say you can use tap, but I didn't want to chance it. It also mentions in the directions not to use distilled water.

I use distilled water in mine. I keep a gallon by each ironing board. You can use tap water but then it depends on the type of tap water in your area. Reliable Corp. recommends the following: ° Distilled water° Softened water (from a household water softener)° Filtered water with low mineral content (counter top unit or store bought)° Tap water (if your tap water is hard, this is the least recommended)Hope this helps!Smiles,Love2Sew&Quilt;

The book says to use tap water, unless your water is very hard. It also says not to use water that has been processed through a home water-softening system, since they contain minerals.

The manual states that they "recommend filling with tap water or alternatively, with 50% demineralised water and 50% tap water in areas where the water is very hard." I use bottled, not distilled, water because the local tap water is so hard a Brita filter is good for one or two pitchers before becoming fouled beyond use. Good luck.

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

I use tap water. It says distilled is better but i haven't had any issues. Been using it weekly since i got it about 5 months ago

I used tap water but I also only used the product once before I returned it. I was just not happy with the hassle of using it versus the regular ole' scrubbing with cleaners. However, I do think Hoover recommends distilled water.

I use my regular tap water, but I guess that would depend on, the quality of water where you live.

Might be suggested but I would believe no...we started with filtered water...than just used tap. Albeit our tap is descaled and softened.

Ideally you should use distilled water. Filtered water at least. Tap water may contain substances that will kill it slowly over time.

The refillable cartridge take the place of the cartridges. You can buy media such as carbon or zeolite to fill them. The zeolite lasts longer. You can rinse it in old tank water when you do your regular cleaning. My bioload is low, so I only change it out once every few months.
