Different types of water may work better for certain diffusers. Many essential oil diffusers today recommend using tap water. This is because it contains natural minerals which help to diffuse the oil into vapor more effectively than distilled water.

Tap Water – Although tap water is purified, it may contain trace amounts of minerals, impurities, and water treatment additives.

• Pros
  • It is the most affordable source of water and nearly everyone has access to it.
  • There are more minerals in water than from other sources, which is important for water vaporization.
• Cons
  • Your tap water might contain minerals or impurities that may be dispersed through the vaporized mist created by your diffuser.
  • Tap water will show mineral buildup the fastest and will need to be cleaned more often.

Distilled Water – Distilled water is subject to a distillation process, which removes all impurities and minerals.

• Pros
  • This is the best water source for essential oil diffusers. It will reduce cleaning time and prolong diffuser life.
• Cons
  • It is the most expensive water that you can use in an ultrasonic diffuser.
  • Distilled water does not vaporize as much as water with small amounts of minerals.

Filtered Water – Purified water from your tap or faucet is not as pure, but it does contain fewer impurities than tap water.

• Pros
  • Water that is relatively inexpensive and has very few impurities
  • Because the water is low in minerals, it turns into vapor faster than distilled water. It also requires less cleaning than tap water.
• Cons
  • It is not as pure and pure as distilled water.

We recommend that you use bottled or tap water. The natural minerals in the water allow oil to adhere to particles and disperse into the air. The mist output can also be affected by water temperature. Warmer water creates more mist, while cold water inhibits ultrasonic vibrations and produces less mist.
