does it take tap water or distilled?

Hi Hi Karen, I don't live in a hard water area so I just use tap water, the mop heats very hot, no problem using tap. You can always add a little white vinegar to the water container just as you would to clean a coffee maker. I really like this mop, the price is good and it does a great job!

I actually use bottled water just for the simple fact that we have very hard water where I live. The device does not require that you use distilled water; that's at least what the insert reads. Hope this helps!

Have always used cold tap water, but I would think distilled water would be better, and yes it would last longer, and you may not need to clean as often.

We use tap water and periodically follow the instructions to use vinegar to keep it working properly. Given the amount of water needed to fill it, I wouldn't spend the extra money to buy distilled water. We have quite a bit of calcium in our tap water and have not found it to be a problem with this humidifier. Hope this helps.

you can use filtered tap water (like from a brita) . it works better than just tap water.

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

You feed it distilled water if kept indoors and if placed outdoors it can have only rain water and must be kept moist so if a dry spell then you would use distilled water. No tap water!!! The plant will catch its own bugs if kept outdoors.

If you use tap water this will happen with any humidifier, you need to use distilled water.

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.

I do not use distilled water. I use tap water. It uses about 2oz, it doesn't seem to damage my machine.

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.

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.

Distilled water only, as a rule. Tap may have impurities that could promote mold and mildew growth. You could also use the Xikar refill solution, but it is pointless. Just distilled water and you are good to go!

We have been using regular tap water, as the instructions for the iron allow. But if your water is rather "hard" (meaning it contains chemicals and it is difficult to get many suds when using soap and water to wash your hands, etc.) then distilled water would probably be the better way to go.

I do not know, as I have never used it with tap water. The instructions say do not use regular tap water. However I love the machine and the water. Nothing but Great things to say.
