My B&D required tap water, and said to empty. I used tap, but never emptied. However, I did do a routine cleaning every now and then (3-4 months). It never sputtered or leaked...until the final time I dropped it :(
Love those B&D irons. They are real workhorses!

i leave the water in the iron- BUT my water is from the dehumidifier. saves the cost of distilled. My grandmother used her dehum.water for her iron and her houseplants. no deposits or anything. but i use a cheap iron !
