Distilled water lacks any chemicals to kill microorganisms. That is why it should not risk contamination by reuse. Friend, please do not start even mild name calling. // I’m on this topic because my agency owned Dreamstation has this bad smell of a cheap hot plate. I figured it was bad design and cheap material but I will try cleaning the heating element. I plan to purchase my own Dreamstation and I’ll ask my vendor about this issue.

You were doing WHAT?
Pouring distilled water back into the original bottle---just as I suspected, DunderHead.
Who does that, anyway? Dumb, dumb, DUMB!



We all know how costly distilled water is, and with the shortage of water in California to make it out of, he's just trying to be responsible. As always. he doesn't have a clue, it surprises me he's not refilling it from the toilet. Jim
he may be, 'course, with him, it'd be before flushing...
Ouch... :shock:
