Filtered water is a middle-ground option that removes some minerals but not all, so it’s better than tap water but not as effective as distilled water. For best results, distilled water is still the recommended choice.Do I really need distilled water if I rinse the tank regularly?

Regular rinsing helps slow mineral buildup but doesn’t eliminate it completely, especially in hard water areas. Using distilled water removes the risk entirely and requires less maintenance effort.
