Do we put Tap Water or Distilled Water?

If you are on public water, it has a trace of chlorine in it and you can add it as is. If you are untreated well water, you should use distilled water and add a puritab (included) instead.

Mr. Philip, you sir jumped to the conclusion that this is for still water instead of sparkling. But if I accept your contention that it will be still, then I recommend water purified by equatorial trade winds, surrounded by ancient volcanoes, bottled on a remote island, then flown via a Gulfstream G650 at a speed to 610 mph to my gym. The water should be changed daily for maximum freshness. Discerning rowers might instead fill this rower with a really lovely Château d'Yquem (I prefer the 2001) hand selected in Gironde, France.

Tap water is fine. You probably received chlorine tablets to put in the tank and if not, should ask about them.

Yes you must use distilled water;ordinary faucet work works too. If you won't drink it don't put it in the machine.

I'm sure it is better to use distilled. However, I use tap water and just clean regularly to get rid of some of the mineral buildup.

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 have been using distilled because our tap water is quite hard and I think it will help to keep any build up to a minimum.

We use distilled water. I'm not sure you have to, but it seems as though it's always better for the iron. We get plenty of steam and use rather a small amount of water, now that I think of it. We're very happy with the iron.

I personally think it's best to use distilled water, so that mineral deposits from tap water won't ruin your purchase.

The instructions do not specify to use distilled water. I use cool tap water. Definitely need to clean according to instructions. I am very happy with this humidifier.

Distiller water is recommended. It will be better for the life of the steamer. Tap water has harsh minerals.

I if your tap eater is very hard, you should use distiller water. Otherwise, medium to soft should be ok.

I vote distilled too. I am replacing one now that clogged from using tap water.

Yes you can use tap water but depending on where you live some water supplies are full of iron, etc...so you may have to de scale it more often with white vinegar.....If you have filitered water I would definitely use that.

I have always just used tap water and have not had any problems. I don't think distilled, filtered, or pre-boiled water is necessary.

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.

Distilled water would not be a bad idea, however my wife's lasted 25 years and she used only tap water, and she bought another one when it quit.

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