what happen when you use tap water

Tap water has minerals, and as the water evaporates to steam, minerals are left and could clog up the appliance.

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 use tap water. It works just fine. I recommend buying extra cleaning pads too. You'll find reasons to mop longer when you see how clean your floor ends up.

I use tap water however I have a water softener system and it works fine. The Protek shouldn't be a problem.

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.

When you first use the filter, or when using the filter, you have to let the water run from the tap before using the filter. This allows residues and settled salts, chlorine, and other impurities to leave.

Yes, but I use tap water and it works fine. I have to fill it up once a day so buying distilled gets expensive.

Only if you don't want an ear infection. Tap water contains bacteria and sometimes viruses so be careful.

i don't know but i quit using it anyway because i couldn't tell the difference between that water and tap water. i am just going with distilled water. it is cheaper and taste much better. check on a water distiller or just buy it at the store. i had a water distiller and wore it out then i just started buying it at the store. 2 to 4 gal at a time. it has no garbage in it.

I use tap water, I was using filtered but the units (I have 2) use a lot and my filters run about $50. So I started using tap water. Just keep them clean.

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

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.

We use tap water in the filter. According to the book I read it filters impurities along w/ adding things good for dialysis patients

No it should not, unless your tap water tastes amazing. The water coming from my Tap Master filter tastes noticeably cleaner than our tap water. You should get a water test kit to find out for sure, and return it if it's not working properly.

No, if you taste the filtered water and find it nothing wrong then there is really nothing wrong with it. But if it tasted like tap water, that means it's not doing the job.

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!
