does it need distilled water, or is tape water ok

Tap water is totally fine! And sometimes I put lemon juice in the water so it smells nice, too.

I've been using tap water. It comes with about 10 packets of "lime and scale remover," which makes me think it would be better to use distilled water...but if you don't, you can use these packets to clean the water tank. Hope that helps...

The instructions do not require distilled water. I use it to delay any buildup, but it isn't necessary.

Uses tap water, comes with some cleaning product to clean out hard water deposits.

I only use distilled water. There is an element that can be cleaned, so I would assume if you took a paper towel with some rubbing alcohol and cleaned it every few days it would be okay.

Yes you must use distilled water;ordinary faucet work works too. If you won't drink it don't put it in the machine.

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.

Tap water has worked just fine. Distilled water is not necessary at all. Hope this helps.

I would recommend only distilled water. Drinking water or tap water could have impurities that might harm the plant. We've only used distilled and had nothing but good results.

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.

Use Distilled water, room temperature seems fine to me. They recommend against tap water I believe:"Each packet is precisely measured to mix with 8 oz (240 ml) of lukewarm distilled or previously bottled water."

The instructions do not state what type of water. I use distilled so it doesn't get a build-up on the unit.

I have been using distilled because our tap water is quite hard and I think it will help to keep any build up to a minimum.

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

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.

Yes - you can use it with water only distilled water though not to mess up the machine. I sure hope you pup gets better soon!

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;

Everything I've read says to use distilled water. That way you have less of a chance to contaminated your cigars. Distilled water is cheap compared to the cost of your cigars.

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!
