What kind of water do you use in your portable ice makers, saw that tap water and distilled doesn't work well for very long..

Tap water. Distilled water tastes "blah", deionized water tastes worse.

We use a Camco Evo water filter, so far no issues using tap water in ours.

We use tap water, unless it tastes odd, and then bottled drinking water. Either way has always been just fine. We've had our ice maker over 7 years, and it works like a charm still.

Bottled spring water for all drinking and ice since CG water varies too much in quality/taste to count on.

Distilled water is one of the only things that will corrode stainless steel. Good for you, but not good for many metals.

NO it will NOT

your are thinking of De-ionized water

that can be corrosive to somethings

My mistake, it is Di water that can be a problem.

I have a 12 gallon "Life Mist" water distiller that is made of stainless steel. It's 11 years old. No corrosion anywhere.
