what kind of water do you use?

I've been using regular tap water. I do wash my vegetables and/or fruit with the vegetable/fruit soap first.

Any kind. I use tap or from the water cooler. I suppose you can buy bottles but I just use regular and after processing my fruits and other things the water looks crystal clear so it seems to be working fine. I love my machine.

We have a reverse osmosis filter water line, and I use that. But I think that just tap water or water out of a filter jug should be fine

I usually just use hot tap water. Sometimes I've use water from the instant hot water tap (near boiling) but it's a little hard to handle and I can't tell that it makes any difference in taste at all.

Sorry, I don't know. But I use distilled water in mine, so if you can switch to distilled water, that should help.

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

No. We use regular tap water. The instruction manual says if you have hard water, to put vinegar in the system every so often to keep the steamer in top performing condition.

I'm sure it is better to use distilled. However, I use tap water and just clean regularly to get rid of some of the mineral buildup.

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

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.

Sorry to say I returned the unit and purchased something else. However most units can use tap water but the real issue is the component in the water minerals, calcium, lime etc. So u have to clean it every couple of days or the build up affects the operation

Yes you can use tap water but depending on where you live some water supplies are full of iron, etc...so you may have to de scale it more often with white vinegar.....If you have filitered water I would definitely use that.

Distilled water is best. If your tap water is low in minerals, it should work fine.

use purified water cheap enough at less then a dollar per gal, no buildup no powder all over everything standard tap water is so full of chemicals

Probably rain water works, but it might depend on conditions where you live. I've been using distilled water and it works very well.

You can buy their specialized liquid or you can use plain water with just a little dish soap mixed in. Both work well.

I'd recommend using filtered water. But if you don't have a filtering pot or bottled water then use the tap water.

I use regular tap water. The manual in fact says to use untreated tap water. The manual does suggest a mix of distilled and tap water when the tape water is very hard. Use tap 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.
