Many customers ask whether they can use tap water in their Morphy Richards Cordless Steam Iron. Using the wrong water type can reduce performance, cause limescale, and even affect your guarantee.
Here’s what you need to know.
✅ Recommended Water Types
For optimal performance and longevity, always use:
Distilled water
Deionised water
Demineralised water
These water types:
Reduce limescale build-up
Keep the steam chamber and vents clear
Maintain strong and consistent steam
Protect your iron and ensure your warranty remains valid
These types are available at most large supermarkets.
❌ Water Types to Avoid
Do not use:
Tap water (especially in hard water areas)
Battery topping-up fluid
Water containing sugar or starch
Water with fragrances or additives
Defrosted water from the refrigerator
Using these can cause:
Poor steam performance
Mineral build-up inside the iron
Dripping or leaking
Potential damage that may invalidate your warranty
💡 Tip for Hard Water Areas
If your tap water is hard, always stick to distilled, deionised, or demineralised water. This will extend the life of your iron and reduce the need for frequent descaling.
🧼 Maintenance Reminder
Even when using the recommended water types, regular self-cleaning helps keep your iron performing at its best. For full instructions, see:
