I use distilled water in mine. I keep a gallon by each ironing board. You can use tap water but then it depends on the type of tap water in your area. Reliable Corp. recommends the following: ° Distilled water° Softened water (from a household water softener)° Filtered water with low mineral content (counter top unit or store bought)° Tap water (if your tap water is hard, this is the least recommended)Hope this helps!Smiles,Love2Sew&Quilt;

Yes. But, if you have a lot calcium in your water I would use distiller water.

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

While we don't have to use distilled water, we always use bottled water; that being said, we change the carbon every time we clean the unit. I would rather err on the side of caution, since the cost of the product is very low, than find out that the media isn't doing its job.

Shahed,Using distilled water will save you having to clean the boiler element. Filtered water won't help. Whether it's worth it or not depends on how hard your tap water is. If it's very hard, distilled water is the way to go.

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.

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.

My daughter said to use DISTILLED water. So I do and it has been working fine.

As far as I know, yes. I usually use distilled water in mine. Work's great. Work's even better with the Hornady gun cleaning solution.

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.

I think you don't NEED to use distilled water rather than you SHOULD NOT use it. It's a pleasure being able to use tap water, IMHO.

The instructions do not say you have to use distilled water, relying on their filter to keep out mineral build up, but clearly using distilled water would work better and you do not have to replace the filter at some point.

no...not likely. You must use absolutely mineral-free water....the metals or other ingredients will not permit the proper action of suspension of the silver particles in water. Even the osmosis method of distilling is not good enough. The water to use must be steam-distilled to work correctly. nancy morse.

Please use only distilled water or you can use detox water. Other combination do not mix well with the minerals.

Yes, with distilled or purified water. Remember DMSO grabs stuff and quickly brings it into the body so you don't want to take in any toxins from regular tap water. Dilute at a minimum 50/50. More typical use is at 70%-75% water.
