Does it require distilled water?

No, tap water is fine. Distilled takes out some chemicals. If you have very hard water, you may want to use filtered water. I use tap water.

No. Regular water but you need to add disinfectant to prevent mold and bacteria.

Mine didn't but I have used one of these devices for about 30 years. The filters are too small to do any good so I pour the distilled water into a Brita pitcher and dispense it from there.

yes to both questions - can use distilled water & not use direct water hook up

Not sure why you would do that as the unit heats up quite quickly . You do need distiller water

you have to use distilled water as long as its a nice dry climate with a lot of flies

Yes. It has a plastic spigot that the distilled water comes through to the jar.

it does have a filter. I've been told if you use distilled water you really don't need the filter. I use distilled water but just left the filter in

I haven't tried it. My humidifier stopped working quickly because the sensors never detected it had water, I don't think distilled water would have helped that.

it's fantastic, but try to only use distilled water. it works better! Its has pressure dial.

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

When I first got it yes. But now that I use distilled water and clean it weekly no problem.

No, the only way to make distilled water is by boiling water, like tap water. This Camco water filter is only good for gardens, I would not drink the water from this filter. From what I understand, Camco has other water filters for making drinkable water.

You're supposed to use distilled water but I personally think you're fine as long as you use this fluid.

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

Yes. It needs to be diluted. I use an old spray bottle to mix it with tap water. Very easy and much more economical than buying a spray bottle of diluted product all the time. It works great, too.

It is recommended (and I do!) use distilled water...very inexpensive and I've seen no rust at all.
