At one time wasn't using distilled water rather than tap recommended?

Depends on how nasty your tap/well water is. The water here has way too many chemicals in it. It leaves a white chalky residue on everything.

I always use distilled water. I suppose if your water is as pure as the fallen snow, then give it a go. But a gallon of distilled water is about $1.50 here in CA. I think it's worth getting.

Thanks! I only paid like $2 for the card so it was a small risk.
