Can’t use DISTILLED, but bottled water works👍⭐️
Took me a little time to get to this review because things got a tiny bit frustrating when I first went to use it. I WANTED to use DISTILLED water because both contaminants & minerals are removed, where as with PURIFIED water contaminants are removed but NOT minerals. I wanted to use PURE, CLEAN WATER. HOWEVER, the machine didn’t detect the water. I did receive an email explaining to add salt to the water or use tap water. I preferred not to use the TAP water because it’s not city water, but WELL  water in my neighborhood. NOT GOOD TO USE WELL WATER WITH ANY TYPE STEAMERS! Adding the salt, I don’t like doing that because I always add to much. Finally I used bottled water, and it worked. I did NOT use any essential oils, but just needed the steam to open up my pores so that I could then use another tool to clean them out.<br />After the distilled water issue, had no problems and the steamer did as I hoped it would.<br />I cleaned the tank after using and will each time. I says do it once a month, but I prefer after each use.
