While in Fla for the winter months my new Rowenta irons all become incontinent within 6-8 mos! I use distilled water up in PA because we have a well and guess what, no incontinence! My current iron up here is about 4 years old. Go figure. I will now only use distilled water while down south...

I buy Spring water and haven't had any problems. My friend says the same thing you do about her iron so she started using tap water and gets less sputtering. I don't have a problem with sputtering on any of my irons as long as I wait until the light tells me they are sufficiently heated. Guess it's 6 of 1 and half dozen of the other. :)

I have an Oliso, that I saved a long time for. I use only bottled "Spring Mountain" water. Not tap (too hard) and not distilled (too soft).... I personally like Arrowhead water, but that is a personal choice.....

I took a chemistry class this spring, and my instructor actually talked about this topic. He said that the impurities in tap water require a higher temperature to get the water to steam and that is why many manufacturers say to only use tap water. I quit buying Rowentas, I didn't feel they were worth the money. I have a black and decker now and love it. I steam and spray when I am quilting (not at the same time, lol).
