Why do you need to use spring water? I use tap water with it, does that ruin the effectiveness?

Tap water contains toxins such as pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, chlorine, fluoride, etc. The reason to use Spring Water is that Spring water contains some minerals as opposed to toxins in tap water.

I use plain tap water and it works just fine for me. We have well water treated by Culligan, however, and I don't know if this makes a difference. I have never used anything but tap water in any humidifier.

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.

We have been using regular tap water, as the instructions for the iron allow. But if your water is rather "hard" (meaning it contains chemicals and it is difficult to get many suds when using soap and water to wash your hands, etc.) then distilled water would probably be the better way to go.

I just use tap water, I have 3 other diffusers and all use tap water too. But this one broke and I sent it back and purchased a different one.

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.

Filter - I know nothing about being able to use a filter and to my knowledge the manual mentions nothing about being able to use a filter. Maybe one could adapt a filter for it. I either buy Spring water, pre-filtered water or I filter water through my Brita filter to fill my jugs. BJ

I think you don't NEED to use distilled water rather than you SHOULD NOT use it. It's a pleasure being able to use tap water, IMHO.

Tap water is totally fine! And sometimes I put lemon juice in the water so it smells nice, too.

I use water from the tap and have had no problems with it. I've had it for a while now and still love it as much as when I first got it.

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.

I have used both hot and cold water. It doesn't really make much difference. Hence, I go with the easiest thing -- just plain ol' tap water, cold or room temperature.

We pre-filter our water even before putting it into the distiller, so we don't get much build up after a single distillation, but I have friends who have said they experience what you do when using tap water. I'd clean it after ever distillation, and I'd use the product they recommend. It works great. We still do other cleaning with white vinegar, but we think that the stuff in the jar works better.

Yes it's better to use distilled water. It's a cleaner water and it won't clog it up.

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