will it only work with distilled water or can you use tap water? Distilled water being expensive will void the advantage.

I use tap water. It says distilled is better but i haven't had any issues. Been using it weekly since i got it about 5 months ago

Distilled water is recommended. If you use regular water it is recommended that the boiler be cleaned with vinegar. I use distilled water. I will say that this machine makes my white marble (ceramic) floor absolutely shine. People have made comments about the shine!

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.

Using distilled water will cut down on the sediment and growth in the filter media, but I still wouldn't recommend it. Distilled water is just too expensive. The better alternative is to get some Bacteriostatic Water Treatment solution and to replace the filter from time to time. Both will be much less expensive than 6 gallons of distilled water every day.

I have used it when I'm in a rush and my boiled water has run out. So, yes, you can. I believe that it's recommended to use distilled water.

Instead of using regular tap water and instead of buying bottled water I decided to purchase a Brita Water Pitcher here on Amazon. In the long run I think it will be more cost effective than bottled water (with the same results) plus the benefits of not using hard tap water.

It really depends on how hard your tap water is. I have naturally soft water at our house so the unit is fine. If you are really concerned even with soft water or need to use a water softener for your house then use 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.

Might be suggested but I would believe no...we started with filtered water...than just used tap. Albeit our tap is descaled and softened.

You are only supposed to use distilled water. If you use tap water, minerals can build up and break it. If you used distilled water and it broke, call the company and they should honor their warranty.

We also have a water softener and according to the directions that came with the iron, I use bottled spring water. The directions say you can use tap, but I didn't want to chance it. It also mentions in the directions not to use distilled water.

We used to fill with distilled water, but few weeks laters I read the instructions and there they recommend to use tap water instead distilled. So I started using tap water without any problem. I have 4 months with this iron.

It says in the instructio not to. And holefully you are using distilled water? Do not use tap

I wouldn't. Using distilled water would be a much better choice. Buy a gallon or 2 and it should last a while.

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.

Technically it can. Ideally you should use distilled water. However,I think the change would be minimal.

Tap water can be used unless your water is very hard.If so, they recommend using distilled.They also say not to use home water softening system water since it contains minerals. Personally, I like products made by Panasonic.

I use bottled water and it works great. But the manual says to use tap water so either would be fine.

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.
