The instruction manual calls for "purified" water. In our neighborhood stores we have distilled, spring, drinking, and RO water. What is purified?

I have a water filter that uses a reverse - osmosis filtering system. To the best of my knowledge it is a precess which removes absolutely everything out of the water except the water itself. It is purified, free of all chemicals, bacteria, viruses and any other kind of contamination that can be found in water. I use it because I have it conveniently located under my sink. I guess if that were not the case I would have to buy it in bottles. I love my mop and I would consider it worth the trouble to keep it running smoothly.

Hi, I met a Steam Mop rep in a home fair I attended. He advised that we use only DISTILLED Water. He said that our mop will last much longer is=f we use that. I am not sure what "purified water" is so just use distilled water and you will be fine. By the way, I love my mop!

I don't know the real answer to this question but....I always use filtered water. Our water here is full of floride and sodium and something other than tap water just seems to be a good idea.

Pur purifies water. This one purifies AND alkalinizes water, if there is such a word. :-)

I'm not sure. Normally, distilled water has been used in steam irons to prevent mineral buildup and shortening its lifespan. I have a whole home water softener, so I don't use distilled. Water from a faucet purification device like Pur could be used, as well as one that uses a container, like Brita. Then again, if you don't expect to keep the iron forever, use tap water. The whole idea is that if the tap water is hard (has lots of minerals), you should use water without minerals (distilled). I've had this iron for over 2 years and it still works like new. Hope this helps!

No there is only purified water, organic Stevia leaf extract and natural flavors.

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

Most all stores carry distilled water; grocery stores, Wal Mart, Walgreens, Target. It comes in 1 gallon jugs.

The thing that's so great about this product is that it uses a standard water bottle (16.9 oz) that your purified drinking water comes in from the grocery store. I just refilled the same bottle over and over all this past week when we were on vacation, and consider myself lucky I found it. ALS

No just water. But I don't recommend this product. It just swirls...not much action. Purifier its not.

Chlorine is listed as one of the chemicals this filters. There are plenty of videos on youtube showing just how much abuse you can subject this thing to and still get potable water to drink.

since it says 99% pure - one would have to assume that the 1% is something else. Water? Logic dictates -- what it is probably falls into a list of safe items to be dispensed. Logical?

It recommends distilled water but I use tap water and so far no problems. I am still very pleased with this purchase after using this machine on a weekly basis for several months now.

Yes purified water is purified water good for drinking or whatever you want to do with it.

I believe the ro water is OK to drink but it is not good to drink the ro/di water as it has been stripped of 99.9% of all minerals and solids and in the human body it will soon leach these minerals and such from you.

Well honestly you shouldn't really drink RO water. Or at least if it's deionized. It will rob you body of dissolved solids (as water always wants to have some dissolved solids in it). If you intend to drink RO DI water you need to infuse minerals or electeolytes into it so it's safe. Normally for RO drinking water (like vitamin water) they do not de unitized it so it would be a two step system vs this 3 step. Look for a system with the micron filter, carbon filter, and membrane filter only! And use it with tea or coffee for a more flavorful bevrage

No, it says Purified Water, Organic Stevia Leaf Extract, Natural Flavors. (The flavored ones list the flavors, such as berry and strawberry concentrate.)
