That's what I said upthread - especially for modern irons and tap water from one water to the next is not the same. Some water is harder naturally and some is soft. Where we used to live, our water company used water from artesian wells. It was delicious to drink and probably not the same chemicals as water from a place that gets it from a river. The water here comes from a lake and tastes very different. I use a Brita for drinking water and to put in my iron when I want steam. So far, so good.
