What makes the Tap Master TMULTRA ULTRA RO system better at removing iron?
465821
Reverse osmosis membranes are very sensitive to iron, and are destroyed (fouled) by even very small amounts 0.3mg/L. The Iron prefilters found in the Home Master Ultra and HydroPerfection will filter out the iron before it can damage the RO membrane. It is effective up to 1 mg/L of iron.

There is a great advantage using this DW9280 model. The weight of the iron gives extra support with removing the wrinkles and the extra steam wholes are awesome. These are what you need when you are trying to press your garments correctly. Enjoy

the CFF25-10 Tapmaster is not adequate _ change 3 times per year & costs mucho.I switched to the one from Pureearth.com which lasts a year @ $40 or so.

I don't know....I returned this iron after I used it once it leaked like a broken water pipe....

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.

We can not speak for Tap Master as we have not seem how their system is built. Our system is a 5 stage system that offer a complete reverse osmosis filtration. All the replacement filters are made in USA with Dow Filmtec membrane. The system is also WQA certified with tested contaminant rejection rate. We also offer a FI-PHPLUS-QC remineralizing filter which you can add on to as a six stage which adds food grade calcium minerals back into the water. If you have any question, feel free to contact our support and we will try our best to assist you.

I honestly haven't noticed any design flaws. This works better than any other iron I have ever owned. What have you noticed?

Tap water, but make sure you empty the iron each time when you are finished.

I have a well system, and the Home Master system works great, the water is way better than the previous single filter system I had. It would be a good idea to have your well tested for iron levels to make sure your softner system is working properly.

Purified is probably better but we use tap and so far it is fine. It is important to change it daily.

First, it depends on your tap water. Because of the reservoir, hard water can result in deposits and build-up that cause the iron to steam unevenly, clog or "spurt". If you were to empty the reservoir after each use and "flush" the hose, that might not be a problem. But realistically, most of us tend to leave the water in the tank when the iron isn't in use - especially if the iron is being used by a sewist or quilter. I recommend double-checking the recommendation to use distilled water as most of the Rowenta irons I've used specifically state not to use it because it often causes the iron to leak. With my Rowenta Steam Station iron, I've always used bottled "drinking water" because my tap water is quite hard. First, it depends on your tap water.

<From the Sunbeam website: Should I empty the water from my Iron after every use? It is not necessary to empty the water from the iron after every use. Tap water can be used, unless the water in the area is very hard, which will reduce the performance of the iron. In this situation, it is best to use deminieralized or distilled water. If you do not use your iron frequently, we recommend emptying the water reservoir, turning the Fabric Select Dial and Steam Lever to O/Off and allowing the iron to cool before putting it away.>I use my travel iron only when traveling, therefore I don't bring distilled water with me. No problem until now. I hope this helps. <From the Sunbeam website: Should I empty the water from my Iron after every use? It is not necessary to empty the water from the iron after every use.

If you are talking about the slight "gap" between the soleplate and the body of the iron I think that is a design feature. Mine has that and there is no adverse effect when ironing. I like the heft of the iron and the ceramic finish on the soleplate really makes the iron glide. I have experienced no leakage of water from the iron unlike the cheap ones I had in the past, but I do not full the water tank to the brim. It makes ironing dress shirts a breeze.

Yes, I too faced this problem with my Black & Decker iron. The model is Quick 'N Easy 460. I thought it is the mineral deposits from the water being steamed and is quite irritating, but has happened only recently.

I use tap water all the time, always have. I am in Western New York - we don't have hard water here. That may make a difference in whether or not you can get away with tap water in your iron.

I've spent the past week and a half researching and reading reviews from Amazon and other websites on these 2 irons. After reading the side-by-side comparison I decided to go with the cheaper iron since I have no use for vertical steaming or a detachable water tank. Thanks a lot for the helpful link.:)
