It might seem unnecessary to buy specific water for a steamer; however, the wrong kind may actually be harmful. We carry our own Steam Water, a distilled variant suitable for all our steamers. You may also use battery water (deionized water) or filtered bottled water (meant for drinking), both easy to find.
We bring this up, and even sell water, because if you use your steamer in an area with "hard water" and use tap water in the steamer, it might get compromised. If you live in an area with soft water, there are no worries using tap water for the steamer. We vouch for you to find out what kind of quality the water has in the area you live to ensure it will not harm the steamer.
We also recommend distilled water as a safety measure since the quality of water can differ a lot between regions. If you only have access to hard water in the tap, a good idea would be to invest in getting distilled-or battery water. Otherwise, you may also risk having chalk stains and residues ending up on your clothes and sooner or later the steamer might even break completely.
If you have used hard water/calcareous water, you need to descale your steamer now and then. Please check out our descaling guides in this section for further information regarding this.
