Ideally, yes. For best results, you're supposed to use distilled water (which can be picked up at the supermarket for very cheap.) However, I never used it, and mine still works fine almost 4 years later. So it's your choice - I'm not confident it will make a difference.

I used tap water, but the unit worked so poorly that I threw it away after 2 attempts.

Sorry to say I returned the unit and purchased something else. However most units can use tap water but the real issue is the component in the water minerals, calcium, lime etc. So u have to clean it every couple of days or the build up affects the operation

The manual says all Singer Home Essentials irons are designed to be used with regular tap water, BUT if your water is especially hard or if you use a water softener, you should try using inexpensive bottled spring water. I ONLY use bottled water. The manual also says to never use water with additives, including scents, starches, or fabric conditioners, as they can cause deposits to form in the iron that can stain clothing.

No. You only use water in this unit. Go to Homedics site and they can verify this question for you.

You won't want to use regular water unless you add a record cleaning concentrate. You can also buy large bottles of record cleaning fluid, this is what I use because it is convenient and is very effective for cleaning the record.

To prevent any mineral build-up, I use distilled water. Distilled water is cheap..

you can use any liquid in. they come with several different size nozzles. I would not put drinking water in it since you are using air from your compressor to pressurize it and that is not the cleanest air.

It says in the instructio not to. And holefully you are using distilled water? Do not use tap

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.

You can and should use the alkaline water for all water to be consumed, BUT you might not want to do all your water at once if you are still just starting use of alkaline water as it can clean you out rather abruptly.

Yeah, I use tap water for mine. Just be sure to follow the 24-hr soaking instructions on the main filter unit if you're starting with tap water.

I just use water. There is a cleaner they recommend in the user manual for tough cleaning but I have not used it.

I did not see this in the instructions and use regular tap water. If for some reason you get build up I am sure you can rinse it with some CLR

You can use anything. All you do with the Soda stream is making carbonated water. To that you can out juice, or other flavorilngs like IMO, sweetened drink powder packets, etc. if you use juice use concentrated for a full flavor. Remember it is just carbonated water.

Yes you can use hot water in the unfiltered position! In the filter position the water comes out slower I think it is because of the reverse osmosis! But there is no other filter that filters better than this filter for us! Becouse we have hi Arn and Lime stone in our water! This the best filter for us!

We only use distilled water. Do not know if regular tap water will work... we are on a well and might be too hard for the machine.
