After reading some of the posts about leaking, I couldn't help but wonder if we've not reading our manual and adding the wrong water to our irons.

I've had a Rowenta iron for years and have only used tap water in it. It doesn't leak and I've never had a problem with it. I recently bought a Sunbeam (lighter weight) iron and it leaks really bad.
I always used tap water and they still leaked.
