Re: [APD] Aquatic-Plants Digest, Vol 43, Issue 21
Although, some irons specify DO NOT use Distilled water or RO water. My iron
always leaked water, I got mad and threw it out. Bought another, took the
time to read the instructions.... it said no distilled water or it will leak
and dribble.... boy, did I feel dumb.
