Is it recommended to use distilled water with all diffusers that use water to disperse the water/oil combination?

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

Marcel: I love this diffuser and have used it daily for a year. Only down side is that it uses distilled water only. I use it with doTerra Certified Pure Theraputic Grade essential oil. Other EO may contain synthetics or be less pure. DoTerra oils do kill pathogens in the air. I can give you more info on doTerra if you wish. I use it in a bedroom. Would say it is fine for a small to medium room.

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

I use distilled water in my irons. I have hard water and have to use a water softener, so it is just less hassle to use the distilled water.

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

Yes, you can use whatever essential oils you like, citrus or otherwise. Just be sure to clean the diffuser regularly to keep the disc clean. If you allow a build up to form on the disc, it will not be able to produce any mist. Any essential oils can be corrosive if left to build up, not just citrus oils.

Just tap water! It actually comes with a measuring cup that you fill up to the line with the water and pour it into the diffuser! Super easy! Once I pour the water into the diffuser, then I add 3-6 drops of whatever oil I'm using & close lid and turn on!

Yes you can - although oil enthusiasts would love you to beleive no so you buy a small diffuser also ... We do it all the tine for years here and no issues.

The base of the diffuser is filled with water and then you can put a couple drops of any essential oil into the water. I have used peppermint, lavender, lemon and mandarin orange essential oils in mine. I just empty and wipe out the base between different oils; refill the water and drop in a couple drops of the new oil.

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 personally think it better to use a diffuser as it remains in the air for quite some time as opposed to washing it down the drainonce you are out of your bath. You also will need to wash the oils out of your tub.

You simply add fragrance to this. There IS a reservoir to add it to, but I simply add it to the water. I disagree with previous answer stating it takes too much oil. If you've never tried doTERRA essential oils you should. They are head and shoulders above anything out there! I add only 5 drops to the water and I get plenty of scent, for hours. I LOVE this diffuser! I plan to buy another for other rooms...

Don't know. I've tried others but settled on Young Living and distilled water only. I sit diffuser on kitchen counter and other oil left it sticky from droplets. Both tend to leave diffuser hazed on the inside so I clean it often.

Most definitely! Add more water for a more subtle home fragrance, or less water to make it stronger! A little oil goes a long way! Make sure your oil lamp/heater/diffuser has enough water in it so it doesn't dry out.

Its best used in a diffuser. I have a humidifier but it doesn't recommend using oils in it. The quooz lull diffuser works great with the oils. Good luck

Yes,...I use tap water and oils all the time...but it is best if you use filtered water...because it comes free of foreign matter.The most important issue is that you clean and air it out after every use...water left to itself tends to fester.
